Description
This is a very different text to that of Bill Gates, How to avoid a Climate Disaster. The Solutions we have and the Breakthroughs we need (London: Penguin Books 2022) reviewed in a previous edition of FiBQ. Bill Gates sees hope of avoiding doom in technological advances, but Brian McLaren is more pessimistic. He reflects that the world has passed certain tipping points and that a tide of doom is inexorably rising. This feeling creates a deep inner divide, a tension between a sincere and hopeful commitment to action for the common good on the one hand, and on the other, a feeling that no actions can prevent the arrival of an undesirable or even dystopian future.
