The End of One Era, The Beginning of Another

The Psychology of Peak Oil and Climate Change

From: Peak Everything

$1.50

Global Climate Change will similarly affect every human being — and every ecosystem as well. Much of the human impact will be measurable in economic terms; however, individual and collective psychological effects will perhaps be of equal and often greater significance.
