The end: how much is left?
Is it the end of the world as we know it? This year, we’ve seen terrible flooding, glaciers melting, and deep oil wells breaking. In light of these catastrophic events, we’re launching a series this week about whether our modern age is coming to an end along with our friends at Scientific American.
For the first installment of the series, we talk with Michael Moyer, staff editor for Scientific American, about the world’s dwindling resources. He recently wrote about this in his article, “How Much is Left?”
