The eBook version is now available. The paperback version will be shortly. If you scroll down at the Barnes & Noble page (above) to "About the author", you'll get a better idea of my qualifications for writing the book.

One of our carbon "sinks" has been overestimated...

according to research at Stanford University, et.al.

If these findings remain solid vis-a-vis other studies, the management of grassland and forest ecosystems may be significantly altered/impacted.  Furthermore, how we manage soil might be changed.

Soil is a highly complex, crucial system that too often is ignored or marginalized by politicians, planners, policy makers, and the petrochemical industry.  Hopefully, that will change for the better, and soon.

If the world returns to our pre-covid economic paradigm, then the Boom-Bust Cycle, economic fragility, eco-disasters (including pandemics), and social injustice/inequity again will be our lot.  It should be clear by now that we must bring about a massive paradigm shift to a new economics, an ecocentric relationship to the natural environment, and social justice.  It's not only that those things would be "nice", it's also that they are necessary if organized human existence is to survive and thrive on Spaceship Earth.

What is Not Recognized by Too Many People

Ecology, Crisis, linear "solutions", complexity, chaos, biophysical cascades, carbon sinks, interdependence, synergy, order -  the essay at the link below is concise, cogent, and a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the socio-eco-econ Crisis which, unfortunately, is accelerating.

[NOTE:  I left two comments at the end of the article below.  The longer one details what we are facing in regard to human perception of these "wicked problems".]
