Global Warming and Human Extinction - Guy McPherson
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Guy McPherson talks about climate change, how human extinction seems evident in the near future - around 2030 or 2040 - after a following of scientific studies and predictions since 1847 which were always either accurate or surprised by a rise in temperature ( global warming ) ahead of those predictions. This exponential increase in temperature surprise the scientists when catapulted by new positive feedback loops every year, like the release of methane in the Arctic Sea and land at Siberia. This event in the video occurred at the Traditions World Cafe, Olympia, Washington.

32:23 the caption should read "some semblance of dignity"
Also, I really wish I had found Guy McPherson before today. This is an amazing lecture; very informative, and I really enjoy the philosophical quips and discourse. If only we could all lead lives of excellence and set an example for others. -
It's not a reach or far-fetched to advance the simple hypothesis that should only 5 - 10 Gt of Arctic methane be abruptly released; we would all be dead in less than 10 years.

thank you, Guy.

We are doomed.. Sounds like the end is nigh......Now please send ALL your money to me......Thanks

Unfortunately for viewers Guy is using the global warming issue to pursue his social/political agenda and is misleading people the same as climate denialist do, both advocate no action.Denialist say there is no problem so do nothing , Guy says its to late so do nothing. For viewers looking for the TRUTH go to Earth 101 Channel you will find REAL scientist presenting the TRUTH about global warming and the future of the planet. Scientist like Kevin Anderson , Erik Fernandes , Gavin Schmidt , Michael Mann present current science on global warming is a clear way so that those without a science education can understand the current climate science and how the planet will be affected.The world has ignored global warming to long and it can not ignore it anymore , there are solutions but just sitting around listening to a message of no hope do nothing Guy death cult isn't going to help, get off your butts and start doing what you are able to do to help end global warming.

I love you Guy.

I'm surprised at Guy; he implies that his claims are fact and well supported when some or much of it especially re feedbacks is indeed widely anticipated but not well understood. I share his fears, I agree there is a global warming emergency, but his lecture methods are too casual; he fails to even note leading research that conflicts with his opinions, and cites only those that agree with his opinions. On some basic points he is simply wrong, eg methane emissions last [become CO2] in about 7 years and its about 27 times as powerful as CO2 . The Academy of Sciences recently reviewed the methane clathrate research including Sharakova [sic] and concluded that methane clathrates are not an imminent threat. They could be wrong, but Guy should at least note it. He could do a much better job at reviewing the issues in an objective manner but instead chooses to in effect scare monger.

is this man a publicity seeking charlatan? E.G. is it true that the feedback loops he mentions are exponential rather than linear?
-
Love you Mr McPherson, you are awesome scientist! !!
-
Just like Great mind Professor Mr McPherson sayds, we have to live with death in mind, good enough Science to me!!!

I didn't really get the punchline with the Buddah.

We need a world without money - a world where human beings share the resources and technology and work for the good of humanity. Selfishness, ignorance, greed, brutality, arrogance and disunity is destroying our world.

What ALL media items talk about is that we are compromised badly and that it will only get worse (agreed) but what NONE talk about are the FIXES, if we are to be a continuum of life, to have life-supportive environment for the future.
1. Population control MUST begin now (from 2002 to 2014 we made 1 billion more residents despite the death rate, to the global pop);
2. Unnecessary consumption MUST stop (no new iphones; fixes only of any consumer item; dead items MUST be recycled [autos cannot be resold if you are to get the Prius; because you only ADD to your carbon footprint when you sell the old Olds to keep running on the road - now you're the perpetrator of TWO cars, not one] (that is Draconian, 'tough luck', this-is-the-new-law steps must begin now, all world governments becoming one to admin save-us changes as ONE government, dense ego pomp and overlording has to come to a halt for survival..
3. REforestation!!! ALL that's talked about it is DEforestation along with the other causes of our now very real possible demise if we don't act.
I WANT TO HEAR TED TALKS AND MORE THAN THAT POLITICAL ACTION PLATFORMS FROM WOULD-BE POLITICIANS SO I CAN GET BEHIND THEM - NOT BEHIND BUSINESS AS USUAL PEOPLE. WE THE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF CONVENIENCE POLITICIANS AND CONVENIENCE BUSINESS PEOPLE - THEY ARE TOO STUPID TO REALIZE THAT THEIR GREED AND LAZINESS AND STUPID NEGLECT (TO WHERE THEY CAN'T WORK ON A FUTURE PLANET FOR THEIR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS NOW NOT 'LATER'), IS NOT A STANDABLE STANCE FOR THE PEOPLE ANYMORE.
ACTIVISTS (THE ROOT WORD IS ACTION - A VERB BY THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!), POLITICAL OR OTHERWISE, WHERE IN HELL ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?????????????? FROM OBAMA TO BILL GATES (MOSQUITO NETS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM FIX!!!!!!!) TO PUTIN TO MERKEL TO JIN PING TO HARPER TO CAMERON ------ YOU CAN DO SOMETHING SO WHY IN HECK ARE YOU NOT??????????????????????????????? IF YOU HAVE NO KIDS AND DON'T INTEND TO WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOUR GRAND POMPOUS LEGACY IF NO ONE WILL BE ON THE PLANET TO OGLE AND BE IMPRESSED BY YOU??????????? SOMEONE GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE INCITOR OF THE SAVING OF OUR LIFE FORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
people keep talking about co2 ,,air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen,[1] 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. .039% CO2!!!!!!!!!! if u increased it a billion fold it would be nothing learn math,, people.

What do we do with this? At least, stop shopping. Watch a bird. Stop and feel what it means to be a human animal, alive today.

What about all the dead and rotting corpses laying around .will that accelerate the green house gases even more?
