According to Dr. McPherson, every bit of dire
news is met by the same political response. He asks if there
is any doubt that we will try to kill every species on the planet,
including our own, by the middle of this century? He says that
it’s no longer merely the lives of our grandchildren we’re
talking about but the lives of our children and us. About five
years ago, he was elated to learn about a hail-Mary pass that
just might allow our persistence for a few more generations—but
you’ll have to come to his presentation to learn what it
is!
Guy McPherson is an energetic speaker and talented moderator.
He has appeared before count-less audiences to speak about the
two primary consequences of our fossil-fuel addiction: global
climate change and energy decline. Because these phenomena impact
every aspect of life on Earth, his talks reach a wide variety
of audiences. Guy is professor emeritus of natural re-sources
and the environment at the University of Arizona, where he taught
and conducted re-search for 20 years. He has authored nine books
and published well over 100 articles. His schol-arly work has
for many years focused on conservation of biological diversity.
He lives in an off-grid, straw-bale house where he puts into
practice his lifelong interest in sustainable living via organic
gardening, raising small animals for eggs and milk, and working
with members of his rural community. |
