General Douglas MacArthur, commander of Pacific forces in world war II, viewed the battle of the Bismarck Sea as a disaster for the Japanese and a triumph for the Allies. In that great air-sea confrontation, U..S and Australian air forces proved that air power could be decisive in preventing the resupply of ground troops by sea. Months of torturous warfare in the jungles of New Guinea had left Japanese troops vulnerable to disease and starvation. In the end, Allied airmen were able to break Japan's grip on New Guinea and end its treat to Australia though the innovative and aggressive use of air power. MacArthur's strength lay in a dedicated and courageous band of airmen who could attack enemy ships from all direction at any time.
The Important question is this: Will you step up to the plate?Tens of millions of Americans do not believe in global warming or deny that climate change is being driven by human activity. Others accept the consensus from the vast majority of scientists in the international community that anthropogenic climate change is real; however, most do not fully understand it. this lack of agreement and understanding is also true for the majority of elected officials and legislators who are expected to make wise decisions. As a result, virtually nothing constructive has been done in the past forty years to effectively mitigate the consequences of our lifestyles, habits, and addictions in order to slow global warming trends. Americans continue to demand more stuff: gas guzzling SUVs and trucks; planes; meat, poultry, and fish; milk and cheese; genetically modified crops and al of the pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers that accompany them; hardwood, sand for manufacturing concrete, coal powered plants, hydrofracking, and oil drilling. All of this stuff is necessary to sustain the neoliberal myth of infinite progress that fuels booming and emerging economies. What is not being asked is: what are the consequences of the choice I make? Shall I purchases water in a glass or plastic bottle? A hamburger or veggie burger? Will I make an effort to buy only organic produce or doesn't it matter? The outcome is that, during just the past two years, the increase in global warming has included some of the worst climate events and news in recorded history.We can reasonably expect Category 4 and 5 hurricanes annually. There is no evidence that wildfires across the American West and Northwest will abate. Prolonged droughts will persist. Extreme storms, floods, and hotter weather, which now threaten global food security, are also creating a new norm. These environmental trends and more should force us to concede that humanity is on course to exceed its capacity to sustain a quality life throughout much of the world, including half of the United States.Yet, despite the lack of action in the US, there are nations and major cities around the world taking climate change seriously. Visionaries and scientists are creating unique and wonderful innovations in renewable energy to challenge America's hubris, denial, and complacency. Rather than descending into apathy, withdrawing into isolation and being unwilling to face these problems, this book intends to provide a deep and detailed strategy for how we can individually and collectively make a difference. And the foremost effort each of us can begin at this very moment is to adopt a healthy, plant-based diet. Not only is it affordable, but a vegan lifestyle will also strengthen our physical and mental health to face the challenges ahead. It is the single most important thing each of us can do to save the planet.
