This book reflects the mature judgment of an author with broad experience in and out of public life. It sets out in stark and unvarnished terms most of the world's major problems. The Human Species is hell bent for extinction unless we change our attitudes and actions with an urgency appropriate to impending disaster. Paul Hellyer suggests that we have about ten years to wean ourselves from the oil economy and profoundly regrets that the Copenhagen Conference reflected little progress in that direction. The whole atmosphere was one that reminded him of Emperor Nero fiddling while Rome burned. World leaders simply have to do better! The book outlines the three monumental changes required to accommodate the miracle. First, the book claims that exotic energy sources already exist. They have been developed by the U.S. "shadow government" at the massive underground "black operation" installations in Nevada and Arizona using technology borrowed from visitors from other planets. Yet they remain secret for the alleged benefit of the privileged few. Second, the money has to be found to subsidize poor nations and facilitate major changes. This can be accomplished by a fundamental re-working of the monetary and banking system. Bank leverages must be dramatically reduced and the percentage of virtual money they create as debt strictly limited so that governments can gain the financial flexibility to finance the transition to sustainability. Finally it will be necessary for all countries, races, faiths and colors to drop their antagonisms and work together in common purpose to save the heritage they have in common. -- - -- "Paul Hellyer's story is an important contribution to the literature of modern western civilization. His experience in government, his interest in exopolitics and the issues of sustainability of civilization are significant areas of current discourse."

James Lovelock Put another way, we have about ten years to turn the situation around and invalidate the above prediction that is based on our present trajectory. The possibility of saving the planet as a hospitable place for human life is real. But the probability, based on our track record to date, is not good. James Lovelock is a maverick to some but his views are increasingly gaining credence in respectable circles. He has been proclaiming his Gaia Theory for a generation. This states that the Earth is a living, self-regulating system and that by filling its atmosphere with C[O.sub.2] (carbon dioxide emissions) we have destroyed the balance and overheated the planet. We are in the phase when the thermometer suddenly shoots up. The scientist's predictions of what this means in real terms are so dramatic that I am reluctant to repeat them here. Two or three examples will suffice to give the magnitude of the pending catastrophe. Over-industrialization will make it impossible to grow food in China. Consequently the Chinese will relocate in Africa. They are already there preparing a new continent. "The Chinese industrialists who claim to be out there mining minerals are just there on a pretext of preparing for the big move." Central London would be inundated by water and the Parliament Buildings would have to be moved to higher ground. Many, if not most, Americans
