THE ANTHROPOCENE AGE

The Demise of Civilization (Paperback - 14 Nov 2010)

The “Anthropocene Age” considers the after effects over modern science combined with over population of our planet and the increase of microbiological diseases. Further, the possibility of particle accelerator experimentation that is hypothesized could disintegrate Earth’s core.

The book explorea the alarming news that the world’s eco-systems are at risk of "rapid degradation and collapse" according to a new United Nations report. The third Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO-3) published by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) warned that unless "swift, radical and creative action" is taken "massive further loss is increasingly likely and that we are continuing to lose biodiversity at a rate never before seen in history." Also is considered new evidence concerning the rapid extinction of species, climate change and scientific experimentation.

It is noted that the Mayan calendar that ends on December 12.2012 and additional information provided by the Maya-Katun prophecies appear also to herald our demise For the optimist this may dampen their enthusiasm, for the pessimist there is much new information to confirm their negative frustrations as the author describes the forthcoming cataclysm..

The theory of a 2012 "galactic alignment" that has produced former mass extinction of life as evidenced from fossils, also the hypothesis which supposes that when the Sun's orbit takes it outside the galactic disc, the influence of galactic tide is weaker; as it re-enters the galactic disc, this influences the far stronger "disc tides",(Which, increase the flux of Oort cloud comets into the Solar System by a factor of 4 leading to a massive increase in the likelihood of a devastating comet impact.

The book continues in this manner, to alert us to the ensuing crisis we all face and discusses biological and chemical hazards which ponder us to question”Are we all tottering at the very end of the Doomsday Clock. To this the author poses the question, "Is our time well-nigh upon us?" and allows us to search for answers to all ‘calamities’ that threaten our very existence in the ‘Anthropocene Age..
