Publisher Description
Deforestation. Desertification. Species extinction. Global warming. Growing threats to food and water. The driving issues of our times are the result of one huge problem: Us.
As the population continues to grow, our problems will increase. And this means that every way we look at it, a planet of ten billion people is likely to be a nightmare.
Stephen Emmott, a scientist whose lab is at the forefront of research into complex natural systems, sounds the alarm. TEN BILLION is a snapshot of our planet, and our species, approaching a crisis, and a stark analysis of where this leaves us. TEN BILLION is not another climate book. TEN BILLION is a book about us.

Outstanding.
I read this book within a day. Mostly because there’s just a lot to digest. I have to say, it is very thought-provoking. A lot of what the author scientifically predicted in the year he wrote it (I’m taking a wild guess and assuming 2011ish) came true because it is now 2018 and indeed some stuff did happen. In all, a very informative read.
