This book is about an alternative path to mitigating the climate-change crisis. It explains why today's status-quo approaches are not working, mainly due to limitations in science itself and to individual citizens' prevailing mindset: "I am the centre of the universe."
The two main features of this alternative pathway are holistic reasoning and sustainability. These immediately lead one to the conclusion that Indigenous people who follow their culture are a major part of avoiding a serious tipping point in the future. The book calls for an organized collaboration between working groups of Indigenous and Eurocentric non-Indigenous workers.
The book describes how science interacts with society and how it operates within its own ranks. Both knowledge clusters help inform readers making a decision on to trust or not to trust information they hear from a scientist, or on social media.
