The End of the World

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Why is there so much anxiety about climate change? Is the world really coming to an end? Should young people be afraid? In an era of remarkable human achievement this book challenges the prevailing narrative of doom surrounding climate change. It argues that while young people in the West grapple with anxiety many others around the globe face far more pressing concerns. This provocative exploration shows how wealth innovation and resilience have historically led to human flourishing even amidst environmental changes. The book dismantles myths of impending catastrophe and advocates for a rational approach to adaptation instead of fear-driven policies.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Content</strong></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Introduction: The End of the World - Ian Plimer</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>1 The Epidemic of Climate Anxiety - Tony Thomas</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>2 The Best of Times And Yet The End is Nigh - Ian Plimer</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>3 Climate change and the National Curriculum - John Roskam and Colleen Harkin</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>4 Spend Your Fear Wisely - Ben Beattie</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>5 Just Stop Protesting - Mark Lawson</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>6 Climate Change and Youthful Thinking - Emilia Wenster</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>7   On Averting Apocalypse: The Climate Counter-Enlightenment - Peter Kurti</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>8   Therapeutic Culture and Eco Anxiety - Tanveer Ahmed</span></p><p><br></p>
