The Nemesis of Planet A
Is The Human Race Sleepwalking Towards Its Own Extinction?By Martin Palmer
Length7h 40m
About this audiobook
Earth formed 4.54 billion years ago. It is our Planet A, the only home, which sustains life through its geology, atmosphere, and biosphere. Over eons, evolution allowed countless species to thrive – yet 99% are now extinct. The remaining 1% survived because environmental changes were slow enough for adaptation.
Current leaders fail to act decisively, prioritizing short-term gains, wealth and power over longer term survival. Oil companies and politicians delay vital measures, leaving future generations to suffer irreversible trauma.
This book exposes the stark truth of these realities and offers a roadmap. Understanding them demands action, if you care about your descendants. Read this book, then raise your voice and act.
