In October, 2023, 16,000 scientists from 163 countries signed a warning to humanity that global climate change, ocean acidification, a collapse of human society, and the extinction of species are increasingly possible. This century. That is: If humanity as a whole doesn't quickly get involved in working to restore wildlife habitat, protect Nature, and live more sustainably.

If not, humanity faces:

The complete collapse of society, including the end of the monetary, food, energy, water, sanitation, emergency, medical, transportation, communication, industrial, and government systems and services, the meltdown of hundreds of nuclear power plants, and the end of humanity. This century.

Professor Lesley Hughes, board member of the Climate Change Authority, and an emeritus professor at Macquarie University recently said:

"I don't know how many warnings the world needs. It's as if the human race has received a terminal medical diagnosis, and knows there is a cure, but has consciously decided not to save itself."

In his book "Humanity: The Final Century," Daniel John Carey uses quotations from scientists, studies, and reports from around the world mixed with his own commentary in a documentary style of writing to explain the state of Earth, Nature, wildlife, and humanity, and how all of it can soon end as we know it, and that this century might be the end of human history.

Carey reasons that humanity needs an intervention for its addiction to destroying Nature and Earth. With this book, he encourages the conversations and actions needed for the solutions to take place.

How humans have been living is causing global ecocide and the mass destruction of Nature. If it continues, all evidence points to it causing the extinction of such a wide variety of species within coming decades, and temperatures so high with rising oceans and the instability of so much land that humanity will not survive.

There are currently over 42,000 known species of plants and animals threatened with extinction.

The planet once again had the hottest temperatures and the most number of forest fires and extreme floods that humans have ever experienced.

Record-breaking floods, droughts, temperatures, crop loss, and desertification are accelerating. So are soil loss, pollution, ocean acidification, deep ocean heat, the melting of the ice caps and ocean ice, and the loss of permafrost.

"As scientists, we are increasingly being asked to tell the public the truth about the crisis we face in simple and direct terms. The truth is that we are shocked by the ferocity of the extreme weather events in 2023. We are afraid of the uncharted territory we have now entered." - William Ripple, ecologist, Oregon State University

Currently, everything from the largest to the smallest forms of life are decreasing in numbers. For instance, in recent decades the populations of both birds and insects have been decreasing by at least two-percent per year. Humans cannot live without insects or birds, and other pollinating animals. It is only one example of the dire situation we are in. It is already impacting all of humanity.

At what point will humanity change, and become the solution to the global degradation of the water, land, atmosphere, plants, and animals that humans depend on for life? Or, will it all soon end?
