Dragon Hunting

About the Book

Dragon Hunting contains a blueprint for the world to begin mitigating the effects of possible sea-level rise now. In effect, the blueprint contained in the Dragon Hunting book is a Global Insurance Policy looking for a global customer. While the sea-level rise controversy is still dogged by disagreement within the various scientific disciplines of the world, this Dragon Hunting book is definitely not designed to resolve it. Rather, this Dragon Hunting book says that most of us do not think twice in taking out many kinds of insurance over our lives, over the lives of our spouses, over our personal property, over our homes, to protect our incomes in case of unexpected job loss, and for many other purposes. Do we not take out insurance because of the very nature of uncertainty? So why should it be any different for our earth? It seems there is a growing number of scientists that point to a building body of evidence suggesting that sea-level rise could become a reality. The Dragon Hunting book says, among other things, that if we do not have any ‘Magic Wand’ technologies available to us at the time that the sea-level does in fact rise, then we need to do something about mitigating the effects now. The blueprint contained within this book is an holistic one. Therefore, in order to mitigate the effects of sea-level rise now, we need to look to the world’s vast expanses of deserts. We also need to address looming population pressures that threaten our ever increasingly fragile world. We also need to address out-moded political issues in order for us to progress as a civilisation into the fourth millennium. In short, we need to put a whole host of things to rights before we can be absolutely sure that we may mitigate the effects of sea-level rise due to global warming. In effect, the Dragon Hunting book creates a new possible future for humankind should we not be able to develop the requisite ‘Magic Wand’ technologies that we may need, if the sea-water begins to lap at the doorsteps of our coastal towns and our coastal cities. If that is all that the Dragon Hunting book is destined to do, then it has been a hard, but immensely rewarding task that has been done.
