Twenty years ago, with The End of Nature, Bill McKibben offered one of the earliest warnings about global warming. Those warnings went mostly unheeded; now, he insists, we need to acknowledge that we've waited too long, and that massive change is not only unavoidable but already under way. Our old familiar globe is suddenly melting, drying, acidifying, flooding, and burning in ways that no human has ever seen.

"Die einzigen Tiere, denen ich auf gar keinen Fall begegnen wollte, waren Fische." Eine Sardine, strahlend und zerbrechlich, befreite Bill François einst als Kind von seiner Angst vor den Fischen und dem offenen Meer.

Paradise Found details my book with the same title. The book is based on creating a viewpoint that the entire Earth is a paradise. It plays on the famous book, "Paradise Lost", by the English poet, John Milton. It makes the claim that the story of Adam and Eve is allegorical, and the Garden of Eden is a metaphor for the entire Earth. It provides groundbreaking information on science, philosophy, religion, politics, and environmentalism like no other podcast or book.

Over the past few years, devastating tsunamis off the coast of the Indian Ocean have killed hundreds of thousands of people. Even more alarmingly, scientists predict that these tsunamis, as well as a series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, will be striking with even greater frequency and may eventually threaten Hawaii, California, and Oregon.
