GRNH: The UN Climate Conference, “False Solutions” and the Climate Conundrum
Interview
with Professor Guy McPherson
Followers
of climate science will recall COP15 as the climate-change meetings
thrown under the bus by the Obama administration. A summary of that
long-forgotten briefing begins with this statement:
‘THE
LONG-TERM SEA LEVEL THAT CORRESPONDS TO CURRENT CO2 CONCENTRATION IS
ABOUT 23 METERS ABOVE TODAY’S LEVELS, AND THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE
6 DEGREES C OR MORE HIGHER. THESE ESTIMATES ARE BASED ON REAL LONG
TERM CLIMATE RECORDS, NOT ON MODELS.’
“In
other words, Obama and others in his administration knew near-term
extinction of humans was already guaranteed.”
-Guy
McPherson, from the 2013 book Going Dark
On
the occasion of the UN Climate Conference in Lima, Peru, this week’s
Global Research News Hour examines the latest research into the
causes of Earth’s current Climate predicament.
Guy
McPherson is
emeritus Professor of natural resources and the environment at the
University of Arizona, He is the author of about a dozen books
including Going
Dark and
his most recent,Extinction
Dialogs: How to Live with Death in Mind.’
co-authored by Carolyn Baker. Guy is the author of the Nature Bats

Professor
McPherson believes that there is virtually nothing humans can do to
reverse the damage done by modern industrial civilization and that
humans will likely become extinct as a result of runaway Climate
change by the middle of the twenty-first century.
Professor
McPherson explains his thesis of Near Term Human Extinction, the need
to come to terms with the grief that goes along with that
realization, the problems with geo-engineering as a remedy, and the
problematic behaviour of both political leaders and mainstream
environmental organizations in the face of the Climate Predicament.

Confirmation from the Swerus-C3, an international research expedition to the East Siberian Sea team here. Don't shoot the messenger, he's my mate. I liked the interviewer, he did his part well.
ReplyDelete"They met an arctic seas with less ice than ever before experienced.
- Reality has caught up to us, they say marine scientists Mr Anderson and Steve Bjork. For three months they took part in an international research expedition with the icebreaker Oden in the Arctic Ocean.
Together with eighty scientists from several countries have participated in the research expedition SWERUS-C3, which is a Swedish-Russian-American cooperation. They are both experienced expedition participants; marine chemist and professor Leif Andersson, a total of been in the Arctic for two years, Göran Björk, Professor of Oceanography, has been on eight research trips.
- The first time I was there was in 1996. Then it was ice in the Arctic so thick that it was hard to get through it.This time we saw most of the time not even a complete ice cover, says Göran Björk."
