D. H. Gottlieb Author of The GALILEO Syndrome The GALILEO Syndrome. The topic is Climate Change. The focus is Global Warming and how a generation of the new millennium does battle with their horrific future.
“Our environment will change, it always does, but if environmentalists are blind to a major part of the system they live in; a corporate culture, its economy, and its power structure, they will forever antagonize decision makers. As well, for the decision-makers of our culture to foolishly discount awareness that will certainly shape their markets is more than fear, ego, and greed. It is, for our species, a collective misunderstanding of our environment and the magnificent impact we humans, and others, have on this planet--and that sometimes we truly do need to make dramatic mid-course corrections.” D.H. Gottlieb is an environmental philosopher. He seeks the questions that wait behind our answers.
"That we have discovered tragedy in progress is not an indication of criminality or of malicious intent. It is an indication we have advanced in our awareness. But, on the other hand, if we seek to hide this awareness for the purpose of commerce, individual safety, or power, there isa crime: We lose that reason for place on this planet: our humanity." Fulfilling his passion of environmental philosophy Dan is currently involved in environmental consultation on the community, corporate and international levels and through his writing endeavors to expand our notion of environment by fostering a broader awareness of climate change. “I cannot excuse inactivity on climate change when the chances are so high our progeny will suffer from a rabid environment. The trend, to me, seems clear: larger, more active damaging weather systems--killing at an increased tempo.
However,
as a result of reading his works and hearing him speak you will,
hopefully, feel the climate changing and our deep ties to that change.
I am not a crusader--I am an author--but the planet, and our children, demand our attention.” _________________________________________________________________
