For more than three decades, the fate of British Columbia’s old-growth forests has been a major source of political strife. While more than 5 million hectares of wood were being clearcut, the BC wilderness movement and forest industry supporters clashed, as they continue to do, both pressing their arguments in a variety of forums, ranging from television studios and logging road blockades to royal commission hearings and cabinet ministers’ offices. The resulting record of conflict confirms American historian Paul Hirt’s characterization of forest policy as "party an ideological issue, partly biological, partly economic, partly technical, and wholly political."

Beginning in the late 1980s, a series of improbable bark beetle outbreaks unsettled iconic forests and communities across western North America. An insect the size of a rice kernel eventually killed more than 30 billion pine and spruce trees from Alaska to New Mexico.

We are fast approaching multiple tipping points that once breached will lead to catastrophic climate chaos. Disruption to our very way of life will leave no one immune. Some, seeking to maintain their grip and the status quo, will continue with the “business and living as usual model” for their vested commercial or political agendas, and may wish this reality remain clouded for the majority of us. ZERO Greenhouse Emissions – The Day the Lights Went out – Our Future World exposes for the layman the reality of our collective futures. It places the pieces of the jumbled puzzle together.

It asks logically for us to question the illogical sleepwalk of our present course. Many with vested interests may wish you not to read this book. "What they would rather you didn’t know about Climate Change."
