Paul Ehlrich and the MAHB publish ‘Underestimating the Challenges of Avoiding a Ghastly Future’

‘Underestimating the Challenges of Avoiding a Ghastly Future’ is a must read by some of today’s leading scientists.  “We report three major and confronting environmental issues that have received little attention and require urgent action. First, we review the evidence that future environmental conditions will be far more dangerous than currently believed. The scale of the threats to the biosphere and all its lifeforms—including humanity—is in fact so great that it is difficult to grasp for even well-informed experts.
