Climate change and human extinction at URI

Guy McPherson gave a talk Climate Change — The End? at URI on April 12 of this year. The first part of his provocative presentation is now available as an annotated video, put together by Robert Malin.

This sums up the main points of this installment:

• Earth is headed for a temperature increase exceeding 3.5C (6.3F) above baseline, the average global temperature at the beginning of the industrial revolution.
• There have never been humans on Earth in that temperature range.
• Human extinction will result and come about as a result of absence of habitat.
• The main-stream media and governments are complicit in covering up decades worth of scientific research and predictions.

My view on climate change is: “The 1% will survive climate change just fine. Thank you.”  How much does the thought cheer you up that Guy might be wrong and that I might be right?

Stay tuned!
