Bill McKibben, in his book you're reading, titled Falter, claims that human overuse of fossil fuels may eventually lead to the end of the "human game," i. e. human survival as a species. The book is titled Falter because, according to McKibben, humans are in the process of losing the game as climate change brings increasingly disastrous consequences. In Part I (7-80) McKibben overwhelms the reader with brutal facts in order to detail current conditions around the world and makes predictions about what the future holds. He characterizes droughts, fires and floods; heat waves, air and ocean pollution; changes in ocean ph and rising waters, and more. For this post, discuss ONE of the changes McKibben writes about. What startles you most about the current situation he describes and what worries you most about his prediction for the future? State also whether you find his prediction plausible, and explain why or why not.

    The change he talked about was the change in the environment as a result of the human actions which are adversely affecting the environment.

    Explanation:

    Bill McKibben talked about the adverse effects on the environment as a result of the human actions. One of the changes he talks about is air pollution because of the burning of the fossil fuels for the own use of the humans as a source of energy.

    Because of these actions of the human, the quality of air has been deteriorated a lot and has reached the hazardous level which is not even safe for the humans to inhale. In some cities, it has been recommended to use oxygen masks throughout by the humans. This makes sure that the prediction made by him about the human survival endangered is seeming to be possible in sometime in the future. Because the air quality is not nice, water has been polluted, land has been damaged, making the survival of humans tough and not safe.
