Each of the sections references words to connect to each other. Sections include world population, economy, disaster costs, global health, climate change and global warming, environmental issues, water crises, education and employment, migration, science and technology and perspectives. Each section builds on the previous section. The sections divide the priority into messages on the scale, importance and direction of natural disasters, global warming, overpopulation and industrialization. Recurring words are population and overpopulation, economy, natural disaster, data and facts, costs, CO2 emissions, industry and health. Often, recurring words are referred to in different ways.

Gunnar Kuepper uses enough facts as data to describe the challenges the world faces and has faced. He predicts the deterioration of the planet due to deregulation and lack of enforcement of environmental laws. Disasters can be mitigated and controlled if developing and developed countries strictly enforce laws and adopt new, safer methods of operation and modernization. Works Cited Kuepper, Gunnar J.
