Quote:5000 Days to Save the Planet

❝ By 2000, British and American oil will have diminished to a trickle… Ozone depletion and global warming threaten food shortages… ❞ ~ 5000 Days to Save the Planet ℹ️ Edward Goldsmith (1991)

Full Quote: By 2000, British and American oil will have dimished to a trickle……Ozone depletion and global warming threaten food shortages, but the wealthy North will enjoy a temporary reprieve by buying up the produce of the South. Unrest among the hungry and the ensuing political instability, will be contained by the North’s greater military might. A bleak future indeed, but an inevitable one unless we change the way we live…..At present rates of exploitation there may be no rainforest left in 10 years. If measures are not taken immediately, the greenhouse effect may be unstoppable in 12 to 15 years.
