Requiem for Mankind

Get Ready to be shocked!
In this book I am envisioning that through some Einsteinian relativistic means I have reached a date sometime in the future and have discovered that I am the last individual surviving on earth. Thus it seems propitious that I should compile a short statement in the memory of those billions who died in calamitous fashion before me and seek the whys and wherefores for their demise. For my memorial discourse I have chosen the time interval 2010 to 2015, this being a particularly crucial period in which key issues challenging man’s future sustainability on this planet were at their tipping point. Mankind’s typical propensity to disregard substantive remediation of those issues judged not to be immediately cataclysmic is particularly well demonstrated during this interval.
