A discussion with Guy McPherson

This was one of the most memorable interviews Guy McPherson has given recently – so,if you have 2 hours to spare, I can highly recommend listening

THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT: SURVIVING CLIMATE CHANGE WITH GUY MCPHERSON


Soldiers For Peace are fighting to end war on what may be a dying planet. Ironically, wars are most often fought for access to fossil fuels. Dependence on them may be our undoing. Fittingly, the military uses a greatly disproportionate amount of these fuels to keep the war machine going.

Halting climate change is integral to ending war. The problem is more complicated than most people realize. Unless you have done some serious research, it is much more dangerous than you know. There is good reason to think that we are on a course to extinction of the human race. Multiple positive feedback loops appear likely to cause global climate catstrophe much sooner than we have been led to believe.

Human civilization hangs in the balance. Billions  will die for decisions we have already allowed others to make. However, if we can build a united international front against fascism and war to challenge the war profiteers, we will have the strength to do what can be done to assure the survival of civilization. This is the end of the world as we know it. What comes next is up to us.

On SFPI Radio on July 12 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST our guest will be 
Guy McPherson, Professor Emeritus at University of Arizona, climate change expert and outspoken advocate for drastic action to save human civilization.
