    About this ebook

    "Professor What-If" shares his insight in an extraordinary blend of facts, poems, riddles and rhymes, revealing the core issues of climate change. How serious is this crisis? Come on a poetic journey into what life may become if we continue on our present course. "What If!"


    Pacific Book Review
    The professor shares the experience of his existential awakening and it is one that might also be described as an ecological spiritual awakening. His "awakening" is an enlightenment we should all have or strive to experience. We are beyond the debate. Climate change is real.

I wore this burden as a soldier wears his backpack, with one exception: I could not remove it. It was like a built-in panic alarm always signaling that something was wrong with someone or that something had
