Publisher's Synopsis
In the 20th century in the state of Kansas the sun shone bright all day in the summer with a few clouds in a pretty blue sky and the sunsets were beautiful. In 2005, the sun is seldom seen, the sky is a light blue, temperatures change constantly, and more storms appear. The human race must change course to heal the ailing environment dominated by wind blowing pollutants and poisons riding in clouds that we inhale. Winds from the deserts, farm lands, garbage dumps, methane from cow pastures, microorganism, and bugs pick these up and clouds transport them all around the world. Pollutants have invaded the water and air in the Artie and China is growing producing more pollution as the population increases all over the world. It also talks about how important the Forests, Oceans, and Land surface are as a sink for carbon dioxide that is warming the Earth. The forest also prevents erosion and helps control the weather. There are chapters on destroying forest by fire and logging for raising cattle and crops, how nature provides and the variety of life in forest. It speaks of the secrets of the soil and how it provides medical help and potentials in generating medicine for our health. It also shows concern as the world warms and the time of migration of fowl and other wild life change, will the species that provide food for them and their offspring move with them. The wind and clouds move radioactive dust from nuclear waste stored above ground and there is a salt mine in Poland where women, men and children lay bundled in beds under heavy blankets to breathe clean and healing air. The book ends with how we need coordinated World Wide global changes.
