“The Greatest Threat to Our Planet is the Belief that Someone Else will Save it” – Robert Swan OBE

Robert Swan is on a mission to save the Antarctic. As the first man to walk to both the South Pole and the North Pole, Swan is well qualified to understand the threat to the Antarctica.

Swan has founded a company called 2041, dedicated to preserving the Antarctica. The year 2041 is the year when there could be a re-negotiation of the moratorium on mining in the Antarctica.

In Swan’s own words: “We should have the good sense to leave one part of the world alone — Antarctica.” But in the energy hungry world that we live in today, there is a very real and terrifying risk that this beautiful continent at the bottom of our world could eventually become plundered for her resources. Although he has set 2041 as his time goal, the Arctic’s approaching demise suggests that we may not have the luxury of three decades — our world may have only one.
