How long do we, as a species, have left on this planet?

It may be a lot less time than you may had previously thought, according to today's guest.

Guy McPherson, the leading authority on abrupt climate change and near-term human extinction, predicts that we, collectively, have reached the tipping point that has lead the human population careening towards the sixth great extinction of our planet.

So what're we to do?

Guy's answers range from mailing your local congressmen... to dynamiting cell phone towers—all in the name of dismantling industrial civilization, which Guy believes, is the root cause of many of our modern ills—including, but no limited to—abrupt climate change.

Love it or hate it...

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why we should take action but be unattached to the outcome,
  • Why we as a species are driving ourselves towards a sixth mass extinction,
  • The solutions we can take on a local level to extend our time here on Earth,
  • And much, much more...
