In his celebrated previous book, Apocalypse 2012, author Joseph appraised the likelihood of planet-wide catastrophe in 2012 by presenting scientific evidence of looming chaos and even mass extinction. Here, he answers the most pressing question to arise from the investigation: What can we do to mitigate the coming cataclysm? Joseph presents the latest findings about the threats to our life on earth--including an all-out collapse of power grids and satellite systems resulting from solar flares expected to climax with unprecedented ferocity in 2012. Incipient plagues, famines, droughts and runaway global warming are also assessed for their catastrophic potential. Yet when it comes to formulating a response to an impending apocalypse, Joseph argues that there is plenty of constructive action that can be taken at the personal, local, national, and global level, individually and collectively, to prepare for, endure and emerge from disaster.--From publisher description.
