| Summary: | "Ed Ayres identifies four dangerous megaphenomena that are altering life on Earth and may destroy life as we know it: the rise of carbon gas emissions; the rate of biological extinctions; the unsustainable consumption; and the exploding human population." "God's Last Offer sorts through the jumble rumor, hyperbole, and indolence that colors our news coverage, and warns us to take heed - now. Ayres exposes the sophisticated techniques used by corporations, institutions, and governments to perpetuate public indifference. He also makes clear that the problems are of our own making God's Last Offer is just that: an offer of hope, an offer of possibility. But an offer that must be embraced immediately, before it expires."--BOOK JACKET. |
