How does he find the time to pimp worthless books?
Mr. McPherson seems absorbed in his fantasy.
“How does he find the time to pimp worthless books?”
How did this idiot become a Professor?
You, professor and your ilk, can help solve the problem by becoming room temperature.
If he really thinks so, then he should be willing to let people of lesser income come into his home and take what they need, after all, “to each according to his needs”
And when will Professor McPherson move into his unheated, non-airconditioned, no electricity one room cabin riding his bike back and forth to work?
How many trees were killed, energy used and so forth, to print and distribute his “books”?
ME ME ME ME ME, eh Prof?
What a wasted post. Why do you read this stuff?
“I spoke to Guy McPherson who is professor emeritus of natural resources and the environment at the University of Arizona, where he taught for twenty years. He is the author of a dozen books and has had hundreds of articles published on the consequences of our fossil fuel addiction: catastrophic climate change leading to near term human extinction. Guy lives in an off the grid straw bale house where he practices sustainable organic farming and working with members of his local community where a gift economy is in operation.”
Now this is the height of modern living and practicality. Amazing what you can do when you don’t have to work for a living.
Oh, and I hope he doesn’t bring a flame within a quarter mile of that fire trap.
Think about this......every human is unique. Even identical twins can turn out to hold differing viewpoints, ambitions and ideas.
If you can tap into that INDIVIDUALITY and unleash it, amazing things happen....innovation, creativity and progress all flourish
Our Founders knew this and created a gov’t that unleashes the INDIVIDUAL through liberty.
Capitalism is the natural extension of individual liberty. Capitalism allows the INDIVIDUAL to pursue their dreams, test their ideas and create the next great advancement.
When the individual is suppressed, creativity ceases. Forced grouping of individuals fails to elicit the dynamic processes that spur individual invention.
Look at medicine. Medicine is imperfect because it treats people as groups, not as individuals. That is what we hope to get by having a personal physician. Take that away and you have treatments that will fail more than succeed.
The same diet will not make all people thin. The First Lady thinks a one size fits all lunch will satisfy children with both high and low metabolisms.
But that is what socialism does....creates a one size fits all government, economy and liberty.....which ALWAYS results in failure.
Garrett says. “Physically, there are no other options without killing the economy.”
Actually, he is partially correct. The global warming nuts do not want to recognize this truth. If they are correct, that mankind is causing global warming, then they do have two options. Either they can build a reactor a day or they can crash the global economy.
Of course, I said “if they are correct” and I believe even they know they are not. Otherwise, they’d be building reactors.

soetoro buys them in bulk.
And who is this population control fascist wanting to save the planet for?
It is precisely anti-Capitalism, anti-Industry, anti-Energy Production, anti-Freedom, which prevent the populations of the world from thriving.
These elitists are worried that they won’t have access to Third World resources if those populations are allowed to control their own riches and helped to flourish.
In related but unreported news, it has now been 3500 days (9.58 years) since the last major (Category 3 or greater) hurricane has made landfall in the US. This shatters the old record for calm spells (2231 days, 6.11 years) set in 1906.
Since Global Warming predicts an increase in both frequency and severity of hurricanes, this record breaking calm spell is further proof of Global Warming.
Nope, that would be Nazi socialism that is threatening all life on the planet.
Step 1: Stop subsidizing morons breeding.
Step 2: Build nukes with the extra cash.
What’s the problem?
“where a gift economy is in operation.”
I would not be surprised if the Chicomms sent him a free laptop and iPhone.
If one wishes to practice power lust, going "back to nature," sacrificing the able, and/or sacrificing everybody, then capitalism, industrial civilization, and economic progress is not practical.
Idiots breathing oxygen threatens all life on the planet....
We need to pass a law or something.
The socialist paradises of the former Soviet Union, China and Cuba have abysmal environmental records far worse than any capitalist society.
