Covered a lot of ground (pun) but obviously dated info. A little overly optimistic in its outlook. At the time of printing (1994) world population was about 5.65 billion. That figure is now 8.3 billion in 2026.

Great perspective on climate change. This 90's book is not outdated but in fact very relevant. To see the hopes, plans, and predictions in this book from a 2021 perspective is very eye-opening.

An interesting (albeit quite shallow) look at mid-1990s views on ecology, environmental protection, and sustainability.
