A new interview of Guy McPherson with the Canadian Prepper
A new conversation (dated September 2, today as I type this) with Dr. Guy on the Canadian Prepper site, a new group looking at the issues of NTHE. If you’re joining late, this is a well thought out discussion of current news in warming. Some new ideas circulated. You can find it on Youtube Here. […]
Guy McPherson packs it in(sort of)
If you’ve followed this blog space for any length of time, you know that I’ve been greatly influenced by the work of Dr. Guy McPherson. He has been postulating that we’d passed a point of no return on climate some time ago and that (at the end) only love remains. Anyway, this video found itself […]
The Guy McPherson Empire Blues Medicine show
Dr. Guy McPherson is coming to New York in late February. Dates are still being set for speaking engagements, and if you have a venue, he will be willing to respond. There’s information on his new website, the Empire Blues Medicine Show. You can be sure we’ll talk to him on Sex and Politics, but […]
On WBCR–Climate change and extinction discussion with Guy McPherson *(updated)
Reminder, and Shameless self promotion here. I do a radio show out of Brooklyn called Sex and Politics. We broadcast/webcast starting at 8 PM on Friday nights and also webcast simultaneously. On June 20, I spoke to Guy McPherson, professor emeritus in Natural Resources and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, who has written a book GOING DARK, […]
The McPherson Paradox (updated)
So THIS happened–a group of earnest committed young people went to Senator Dianne Feinstein’s office to ask her to sign on for the ‘Green New Deal‘ program being pushed by progressive Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders (technically not a Democrat, but Progressives will take you if you’re warm). Things went badly. Someone took […]
Latest from Guy and other things
I was really moved by Dr. Guy McPherson’s latest video. Yes, he’s still talking about near term human extinction. No, it ain’t fixed. No, it probably can’t be fixed. But he’s no longer the methodical, analytic individual I first encountered when watching his videos from 2012. I think he’s playing to an audience of his […]
Good news/bad news
I know, but the news is back and forth. This is from my website . I posted from Sam Carana, a scientist from the ARCTIC METHANE EMERGENCY GROUP. A search of my site will reveal other statements from Carana. You can find the original post here. it felt like bad news. But new evidence has […]
The MEER project–last chance for human survival?
I haven’t written much about MEER, but it’s the only global warming mitigation strategy that has any chance of heading off a Sixth Mass Extinction due to global warming. Pioneered by Dr. Ye Tao, Meer is a strategy of using reflective metal panels to prevent solar radiation from hitting the earth and heating the planet. […]
After 2023 What?
This echoes the title of a Robert Benchley anthology I grew up with as a kid. AFTER 1903 WHAT? Published in 1938, I suppose it was a satire on the hinky apocalyptic things being circulated by evangelicals who (as we know with hindsight) were wrong. Anyone alive in 1903 (or 1938 for that matter) knew […]
Climate conference online–a thought from Kevin Hester
It’s five people who are scientists or political activists or a mix of both. All bemoaning the fact that much of the scientific world has thrown in the towel on preventing global warming from reaching an extinction point. But this was a point made by Kevin, who I’ve quoted here before. Kevin has been around […]
