"Everyone who reads his book will be energized," said Dorothy, "We'll be scared into action!"
In the book, which details the catastrophic implications of global warming, Robert Hunter describes a future that includes the sudden loss of the northern ice cap by 2050. This could trigger a heat explosion on our planet. And in another 25 years, there could be five billlion people on earth suffering not only from thirst, but from hunger brought on by crop failures and the collapse of fish stocks.
Hunter's book is based the authoritative report produced by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in February, 2001. Nearly 200 top scientists contributed to it, but it has been largely ignored by the media and policy makers. 2030 puts this information in a form we can all easily understand, both intellectually and emotionally.
Dorothy originally planned to fly to Ottawa to deliver the book, but felt the greenhouse gas emissions associated with airline travel were contradictory to her message. Her solution was to drive in a fuel-efficient gas-electric hybrid car, and with the help of her son Duncan, she bought a Honda Civic Hybrid. The trip took nearly four weeks, for a total of more than 10,500 kilometers. She describes her journey as a life-changing experience and the high point of her life. She was amazed and inspired, not only by the beauty of the country through which she traveled, but by that of the people she met along the way. And she was sustained throughout by the love and support of her family and friends, for which, she says, she is extraordinarily grateful.
