Guy McPherson describes New Zealand

Guy McPherson describes his experience in New Zealand.

The only corrective I would supply to what Guy has to say is that NZ'ers might be less accepting if they hadn't been softened up for some time. Our experience with egregious neo-liberal reform goes back to 1984. The experience of fascism is definitely more recent and is inextricably connected with the name of John Key.

We live in interesting times.

Guy McPherson - Deniers, New Zealand, Poignant Story

In this latest video update series part 1 with Dr. Guy McPherson, we chat about climate deniers and denialists who challenge the good doctor during his seminars with their own rather pesky art of persuasion and dissuasion. We then discuss the beauty, majesty and current tragedy that is the glorious country of New Zealand, and, from there, we begin to explore the open hostility and the ardent refusal of one man's friends and family to even consider the negative aspects and dark possibilities of unrestrained climate change.

Finally in Part 1, Dr. McPherson again addresses the unusual and rather puzzling opportunity we all have in allowing the concept of death to help define the preciousness and richness of this thing call life. Knowing how we all will die shows us that we had the opportunity to live - something so many of us take for granted and dismiss as a automatic and oft-unappreciated given.
