Book Description
Can The Planet Earth Be Saved From Catastrophic Flooding?
Antarctic Collapse
In early 2027 the nightmare scenario is looming—the imminent collapse of the polar ice caps.
Mother Earth is in peril. Human habitation, along all the coastlines of all the continents, is threatened with total submersion by the sea. Mass extinctions are beginning and a vast climatological shift will devastate global food production.
The United Nations assembles a team of elite scientists to coordinate the supreme effort required to stabilize the world ecosystem. The coordinating committee of scientific experts include: Dr. Samory Sundiata, a leading climatologist from Africa; Dr. Amilcar del Gado, an oceanographer from Brazil; Dr. T.B.Subasinghe, a physician from Sri Lanka; Dr. Natasha Aminov, a geologist from Russia; and Dr. Sung Pun Lai, an exobiologist and mathematician from China.
The discovery of an ancient civilization that left Earth 7 millions years ago further complicate events for world society. The race to prevent the greatest catastrophe in history is on.
“Antarctic Collapse” conveys in detail a shocking warning about climate change and the perils of inaction. In early 2027, with an unexpected suddenness, the great crisis of the 21st century engulfs the planet. Years before all predictions, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and the Greenland Ice Sheet begin to melt with accelerating momentum. Sea levels rise and violent mega-storms rage as a stunned world’s populous begin to panic and give up all hope. Mass fatalities number in the millions and enormous destruction overwhelms coastal areas, destroying croplands and devastating major cities. The effects of this calamity on the lives of ordinary people create multitudes of climate refugees. A panel of international scientists, commissioned by the UN, marshals the best ideas to save the world from the greatest catastrophe of human history. Dr. Samory Sundiata, an MIT educated climatologist, chairs this UN committee of scientific experts while another threat emerges when a lethal epidemic of an unknown virus sweeps the globe. Ideas from a recently discovered ancient earthbound civilization are tapped as the best technical minds frantically fight for our survival as a civilization. A sinister group steals this prehistoric resource for their own nefarious purposes. The race is on to preserve and protect mother earth and its carbon based life forms. Failure and the way of life we know shall perish from this Earth. This is the first novel of a series, alerting human civilization about apocalyptic dangers ahead, written in the spirit of Clark, Asimov, and Bradbury.
