Deep future : the next 100,000 years of life on Earth / Curt Stager.
In Deep Future, Curt Stager draws on the planet's geological history to provide a view of where we may be headed long term. On the bright side, we have already put off the next ice age. But whether we will barrel ahead on a polluting path to a totally ice-free Arctic, miles of submerged coasts or an acidified ocean still remains to be decided. And that decision is ours to make. Deep Future adds a new dimension to the debate-- one that will change how we think about what we are doing to our planet.
