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.

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.
