George Szamuely, columnist and senior research fellow at the Global Policy Institute, joined John and Michelle during the first hour to break down the latest developments from a very tense session yesterday between British Foreign Minister Liz Truss and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov.For the next segment, Guy McPherson, scientist, professor emeritus of natural resources, ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona, joined the show to talk about the recent increase in earthquakes in Texas, which saw twice as many earthquakes in 2021 compared to the year prior, according to research by the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin. The Misfits ask McPherson why fracking causes earthquakes and how dangerous they are. Recent earthquakes are a result of wastewater disposal wells, a byproduct that results from drilling for natural gas that induces earthquakes, McPherson said.At the top of the last hour, Andalusia K. Soloff is a multimedia journalist, documentary filmmaker, and graphic novelist based in Mexico City who specializes in state violence, migration, indigenous land struggles and gender-based murders in Latin America. She joins the show to shed light on the assassinations of journalists in Mexico. Six weeks into 2022, five journalists have been murdered in Mexico, the deadliest year for journalists there in over a decade. Between 2000 and 2021, Mexico saw the murder of 145 journalists. Soloff explains that many of the murders follow reporting on corruption cases involving local politicians and drug cartels. Many journalists, especially those in border towns like Tijuana, are in fear of their lives yet remain committed to reporting on crime and corruption.KJ Noh, is a global justice activist, writer, teacher, and a member of Veterans for Peace, joins Michelle and John to talk about what, if anything, results from the Quad meeting today in Australia. Foreign ministers of a bunch of NATO allies have been doing the rounds between Kiev and Moscow, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Asia meeting with leaders from Australia, Japan and India in the Quad format. Blinken is then headed to Fiji and then back on US soil in Hawaii. The Misfits close the show with Friday's Stories of the Weird, not to be missed. We sign off till Monday…

Leela Anand, organizer with the ANSWER Coalition, joins us to talk about the current situation in Myanmar, after a military court issues the first of many sentences condemning Aung San Suu Kyi to four years in detention, which was immediately reduced to two years. We also talk about other measures that the military have taken against other opposition figures, what this means for the future of democracy in Myanmar, and about the lawsuit filed against Facebook by Rohingya refugees over the promotion of hate speech. John Ross, author and economist, a senior fellow of the Chongyang Institute at Renmin University of China, talks to us about how the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization found that global food commodity prices have risen 27.3% on the year, whether supply chain issues are the main driver of these price hikes, and whether price controls could be a solution or exacerbate the problem.Sean Michael Love, founder and editor-in-chief of Black House News, and Chuck Modiano, justice journalist and sports writer at Deadspin, join hosts Michelle Witte and Bob Schlehuber to talk about increases in car crash deaths in 2020 and 2021, how some experts say that behavior on the road is likely a reflection of widespread feelings of isolation, loneliness and depression in the broader society, and how these may also be the drivers for increasing homicide rates. We also talk about the state of protests in the United States and how it feels like the country finds itself in a bit of a lull, and the case of Antwan Gilmore. Guy McPherson, scientist, professor emeritus of natural resources, ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona, talks to us about President Biden's plan to make the government carbon neutral by 2050, the merits of the measures outlined in the proposal, whether they'll actually result in a carbon neutral government by 2050, and how even if this is feasible. The 2050 goal post could prove to be too late to mitigate the destructive effects of climate change.

Family and Medical Paid Leave to Drop from Biden's PackageOn this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan talk about Biden's trip to Europe to discuss climate change with world leaders, what Taiwan's fight for independence will look like as the U.S. stake their support, and the 'Build Back Better' campaign that has failed to build anything.Guests:Guy McPherson - Climate Scientist | COP26 Summit Scott Ritter - Former U.N. Weapons Inspector | NATO Expanding Budget And Imaginary DogmaMichael Goodwin - Journalist | Biden's 'Build Back Better' Hasn't Built AnythingIn the first hour Guy McPherson joined the show to talk about the COP26 climate change summit where the UN will discuss definitive ways to slow the overall warming of Earth. Guy has a plan to cover surfaces around the globe with a reflective material that would cool the planet ever so slightly.In the second hour Fault Lines was joined by Scott Ritter for a discussion on Taiwan counting on the United States to defend them in a Chinese invasion. Scott says there is no resolve, in a war between China and the US, that will not achieve nuclear strikes.In the third hour Michael Goodwin joined the conversation to talk about the losses in Biden's Build Back Better Plan and the decrease in the budget for it as he nears Joe Manchin's original mark. Michael also talked about Letitia James' now running for New York Governor.

Guest: Dr. Guy McPherson

Arnold August is an author, lecturer, journalist, and political and trade union activist based in Montreal; his latest book is “Cuba-U.S. Relations: Obama and Beyond.” He joins us to talk about news about a report from the Brazilian Congress that is recommending that President Jair Bolsonaro be charged with homicide and crimes against humanity over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen Brazil suffer the most deaths after the U.S. We also talk about how these charges may be pursued, the public reaction to these charges, and whether this could set a new trend to hold governments accountable for negligence. Dr. Guy McPherson, scientist and professor emeritus of natural resources, ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona, joins us to discuss plans by corporations to restore tree canopies, and purchasing forest lands in order to offset their carbon emissions. We talk about how these initiatives, which allow polluters to rebrand themselves as carbon neutral, are not an effective way to combat climate change and global warming, how they end up being glorified public relations campaigns and are just a retread of carbon trading policies.Margaret Kimberley, editor and senior columnist at Black Agenda Report and author of the book "Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents," talks to us about the the interview the former US Secretary of Defense and former head of the CIA, Robert “Bob” Gates, had with Anderson Cooper on “60 Minutes” on Sunday, discussing the disaster of Afghanistan and potential war with China, and the new documentary on Hulu that brings back the infamous Steele dossier to the forefront and continues to reinforce the Russia-gate conspiracy theory. Josh Gomez, producer for By Any Means Necessary on Radio Sputnik, talks to us about the National and American League Championship series and the late game comebacks by the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros, Major League Baseball planning to provide housing for affiliated minor-league players starting in the 2022 season, how this is not enough to offset their meager salaries, and the start of the new NBA season.

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, we spend the entire program with conservation biologist, social profit and predictor of near term human extinction Guy McPherson for a rousing discussion of Climate Disruption triggering events, elite management of the situation and one sliver of a chance he is exploring of how our demise as a species could possibly be avoided.

Update on new evidence of human activity fueling climate change   Dr. Guy McPherson is a professor emeritus of Natural Resources, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona.  He has specialized in forest resources, energy decline and climate change and its economic consequences. In the past he has also taught at Texas A&M and University of California at Berkeley. Having become disillusioned with the American university environment and academia, and after attempts by university officials to silence his outspokenness about the human causes of climate change, Guy abandoned his tenured position as a full professor for ethical reasons of conscience. He is the author of several books, the latest co-written with Carolyn Baker entitled “Extinction Dialogs: How to Live with Death in Mind.”  He hosts a website, Nature Bats Last, with articles, commentaries, personal videos with science updates addressing topics related to climate change, human issues and philosophy.

Author, economist and radio show host Jack Rasmus joins Misfit hosts Bob Schlehuber and Michelle Witte to discuss how personal finance reporting represents and distorts the economic reality for most Americans. He also breaks down the winners and losers of the first year of the covid recession. Guy McPherson, scientist and professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona, discusses the water shortage in Lake Mead, the way climate change will divide the US West and East, and the way agriculture in the US will have to change before it's too late. Wisconsin State Senator Lena Taylor discusses the frustrating process of waiting for federal funding for urgent needs in states; the infighting that, along with partisan politics, holds such funding up; and the terrible persistence of the filibuster, among other anti-democratic patterns and institutions. She spoke of the opportunities presented by urban agriculture, and the slow movement of police reform efforts. Hip-hop artist and educator Bomani Armah talked about Watermelon Day, the symbolism of the fruit and its color and about food and sweetness as a vehicle for gathering and organizing.

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan talked with guests about Alexei Navalny, Vladimir Putin, and the future of leadership in Russia, also looking at the morbid legacy of Donald Rumsfeld and how leaks from inside Kamala Harris' camp show deep dysfunction.Guests:Bryan MacDonald - Head of the Russia Desk at RT Online | Navalny's Role in Russian Politics, Putin's Future, Naval Drills in the Black SeaScott Ritter - Former U.N. Weapons Inspector & WMD Whistleblower | Remembering Donald Rumsfeld & Understanding the Wars on Iraq and AfghanistanGuy McPherson - Speaker, Scientist | UN Getting More Pessimistic In Details Leaked from Climate ReportTed Rall - Political Cartoonist & Syndicated Columnist | The Prosecution of the Trump Organization, Biden/Harris Admin's Deep Internal ProblemsIn our first hour we were joined by Bryan MacDonald to take a look at Vladimir Putin's extended term limits, what he'd be looking for in a successor, and to debate whether or not the Americans would have declared war if Russia had taken out the British ship sailing too close to Crimea.In our second hour we were joined by Scott Ritter to review Donald Rumsfeld's life, work, and roles in the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, looking into Scott's run-ins with Rumsfeld and what they taught him about the recently deceased two-time Secretary of Defense. We then spoke with Guy McPherson about whether climate change is an existential threat or merely a humanitarian crisis.In our third hour we were joined by Ted Rall to talk about the charges brought against the Trump Organization, whether prosecutors can get Allen Weisselberg to flip on Trump, and to take a look at Biden's sagging support among Democrats and Kamala Harris' internal camp divisions, which don't shed a positive light on her capacity to unite an administration as prospective future president.

Jamarl Thomas, cohost of Fault Lines on Radio Sputnik and host of The Progressive Soapbox on YouTube, joins us to talk about the summit between the European Union and the U.S., whether Biden saying “America is Back” is different from Trump's nationalist statements about U.S. hegemony. We also talk about U.S. media coverage of Biden's upcoming meeting with President Putin, which has likened it to a sporting event, and the prospects of repairing relations between the U.S. and Russia.Ray Baker, political analyst and host of the podcast Public Agenda, joins us to talk about Biden's statements about the state of the GOP being weakened and fractured, Merrick Garland's statements about fighting white supremacist extremists without acknowldedging the systemic racism that is part and parcel of the country. We also talk about how critical race theory has been under attack by conservative sectors, and how this has turned into a culture war that fails to consider actual policy debates that would tackle the structural issues that sustain white supremacy.Guy McPherson, scientist and professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona, tells us about the historic heatwave and wildfires that continue to impact Western states in the US, which have burned hundreds of thousands of acres and caused mass evacuations, how an ongoing drought is creating the conditions for more wildfires, the impacts on the ecosystem, and whether we will see similar events in the future due to climate change.Robert Hockett, Edward Cornell Professor of Law and a professor of public policy at Cornell University in New York, Senior Counsel at Westwood Capital, and a Fellow of The Century Foundation, joins us to talk about the NATO summit and how it was viewed as a success for Biden by focusing on China and enlisting members on a new cold war, how this anti-Chinese sentiment has had a domestic impact, the Trump DOJ's persecution of leakers, and whether the Trump cabinet's inability to function at a reasonable level could have led to these leaks.

In this episode I will discuss: solutions oriented topics, Americans need to stop supporting the health mandates, Americans must stop supporting the police if the police enforce the health mandates, anyone who supports the police supports the mandates, the entire world needs to stop supporting the mandates and the enforcers of the mandates, I think many of the pilots flying the planes for the geoengineering operations know that if the operations stop society could collapse (at minimum), the Milgram Experiments, extinction 2026, Guy McPherson.

Guy McPherson, scientist, professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology at the University of Arizona, joins us to discuss climate change under Biden. John Kerry is now the new climate czar.There are several other people allegedly in positions to dramatically reimagine how the United States engages with climate, and it seems at least on the surface to want to consider maybe doing something about natural disasters. But is there anything below the surface?Jack Rasmus, economist, radio show host & author of 'The Scourge of Neoliberalism: US Economic Policy from Reagan to Trump, joins us to discuss all the craze about GameStop. Individual investors decided to stick it to Wall Street when they learned some big players were going to try to short GameStop. Their GameStop buying spree sent the price of the stock surging, and looks like it’s going to leave at least one big hedge fund on the hook for billions of dollars after its short bet went wrong. We'll look at the nuts and bolts of what’s happening and then talk about how these retail investors are being characterized.James Early, Former Director of Cultural Heritage Policy at the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage at the Smithsonian Institution and board member of the Institute for Policy Studies, joins us to discuss Joe Biden’s calls for unity; his terrorism warning issued through the Department of Homeland Security and what to make of America’s foreign policy terror under the new President.Dr. Yolandra Hancock, board-certified pediatrician and obesity medicine specialist, joins us to discuss the opioid and overdose crisis in the US that just keeps getting worse. At the end of last year, the CDC revealed that the period from May 2019 to May 2020 saw more overdose deaths in the country than had ever been recorded - more than 81,000 overdose deaths in a 12-month period. Overdoses on synthetic opioids like fentanyl increased by more than 38 percent, with 10 western states reporting a more than 98 percent increase in synthetic opioid-involved deaths.

Dan Kovalik, lawyer, professor and author of “No More War: How the West Violates International Law by Using ‘Humanitarian Intervention’ to Advance Economic and Strategic Interests"; and Ted Rall, award-winning political cartoonist and columnist, join us to discuss what’s happening at the Defense Department. Trump recently fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper; Esper’s chief of staff resigned and was followed by top Pentagon policy official James Anderson and top intelligence official Joseph Kernan. Sliding over as acting defense secretary is Christopher Miller, who had been director of the National Counterterrorism Center. And replacing Anderson is someone who has raised a lot of hackles - Gen. Anthony Tata, who was forced out of consideration for that job originally because of a bunch of pretty vicious, Islamophobic statements. What could do these changes mean for the potential Biden administration?Guy McPherson, scientist, professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology at the University of Arizona, joins us to discuss energy and the environment and what it would mean for the US to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement. Biden can have the US rejoin the accord and has promised to do so as he takes office. What does the deal bind us to? Under Trump, how far have we shifted from the emissions limits and funding promises to which we were supposed to adhere, and what is it going to take to pull us back in line?David Schultz, Distinguished University Professor of Political Science and Legal Studies at Hamline University and author of "Presidential Swing States: Why Only Ten Matter," joins us to discuss Trump’s ongoing legal efforts to change what appears to be a victory for Biden in the presidential election, and also get into what’s happening in our education systems as COVID-19 tears unhindered through the US.Chris Garaffa, web developer and technologist, joins us to examine the trend of tech executives being invited to weigh in on what seems like every single aspect of our government! There are a few employees from Amazon joining Biden's transition agency review teams, as well as a LinkedIn representative. There's someone who previously worked for Google and the Obama administration who is back to oversee the National Security Council review team. There are also staff from Airbnb, Uber, Lyft and Stripe. What should we make of all these tech employees being involved with the State Department and aspects of national security?

Guy McPherson, scientist and professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology at the University of Arizona, joins us to discuss energy and the environment and what it would mean for the US to rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement. US President-elect Joe Biden can have the country rejoin the accord and has promised to do so as he takes office. What does the deal bind us to? Under US President Donald Trump, how far have we shifted from the emissions limits and funding promises to which we were supposed to adhere, and what is it going to take to pull us back in line?

After a 15-minute, pre-recorded segment with Dr. Ye Tao of Harvard’s Rowland Institute, Guy McPherson and guest host Pauline Schneider were joined by Ken Avidor, renowned graphic artist. We discussed Avidor’s ongoing work as a social critic.

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan discuss Russian President Vladimir Putin's position in the Kyrgyzstan, Belarus, and Nagorno-Karabakh conflicts. Guests:Peter Lavelle - Journalist and Host of CrossTalk on RT | Putin's Plate: Belarus, Nagorno-Karabakh, What else? Dr. Guy McPherson - Award-Winning Scientist and Emeritus Professor at University of Arizona | Exxon Exposed, 'Planet of the Humans'Margaret Kimberley - Author of 'Prejudential: Black America and the Presidents' and Editor of Black Agenda Report | Liberal Sympathy for Trump?Ted Rall - Political Cartoonist and Syndicated Columnist | Trump's Tax Returns The year 2020 has proven to be shockingly unpredictable. Now in the last quarter, not only is the US presidential election on the table, but international conflicts and uprisings have flared up. Host of CrossTalk Peter Lavelle explains what Moscow has publicly planned to diffuse these situations. Exxon Mobil Corp. planned to increase annual carbon-dioxide emissions despite growing global warming concerns. Award-winning scientist Dr. Guy McPherson discusses how Exxon has exposed itself. Trump has dominated headlines for years. Margaret Kimberley, Editor of Black Agenda Report, talks about her opinion piece describing hypocracy pouring from anti-Trump politicians when he was diagnosed with COVID-19. Syndicated columnist Ted Rall analyzes Trump's tax returns against other businessmen in America.

Regular cohosts Kevin Hester and Guy McPherson were joined by the voice of Pauline Schneider as she read replies to questions from climate-change expert Sam Carana. We discussed Carana's recent and ongoing work as a voice of synthesis on the topic of abrupt, irreversible climate change. 

Mohammed Elmaazi, journalist and editor of the Interregnum, joins us to discuss the latest in the Julian Assange trial in London. Yesterday and today the court was told that Assange poses a serious suicide risk - which was of course sad to hear. What role will this risk play in the defense’s case? Also, a lot of his testimony seemed to be about protecting the names of US sources on the ground - what did we hear in Assange’s defense about the charges that he recklessly endangered people by making their names public?Guy McPherson, scientist, professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology at the University of Arizona, joins us to talk about a shocking report out that after a spring and summer that saw record-breaking heat waves above the Arctic Circle — with 100+ degree Fahrenheit temperatures — the sea ice floating atop the Arctic Ocean reached its annual minimum extent last Wednesday, with 1.44 million square miles of sea ice remaining, coming in a close second to 2012. In the last decade, Arctic sea ice cover has declined drastically. What does this melting mean and what does it mean for the Arctic to enter a new ecological state?Caleb Maupin, journalist and political analyst to talk about the Bidens, Ukraine and Senate Republicans report; Navalny and calls for the West to “do something,” and a boat load of bank financial crimes! What does it all mean?

In this classic episode of Wine, Women, and Revolution, Heather interviews author and ecologist Guy McPherson about his work concerning near term extinction.

Air pollution is the biggest environmental health risk in Europe, what's being done about it?Guy McPherson, scientist, professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology at the University of Arizona discusses the quietly horrifying little report released by the European Environmental Agency that found that environmental factors such as air pollution and heatwaves exacerbated by climate change contributed to around 13% of all deaths in Europe. They were looking at data from 2012, the latest year data was available from, and found that a total of 630,000 deaths in the European UN countries plus Britain were attributable to environmental factors that year. How preventable are these deaths?Tom Luongo, independent analyst on politics, culture and markets at his blog, Gold Goats 'n Guns, discusses how American presidential politics continue to be determined by a small number of swing states, and while states may come and go from the list of swing states, in the last 3 cycles there are only really 10 states that come into play. We'll also analyze the two parties, election strategies and how they pander to their base.

Guy McPherson, scientist and professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology at the University of Arizona, discusses the quietly horrifying little report released by the European Environmental Agency (EEA) which found that "environmental factors such as air pollution and heatwaves exacerbated by climate change contributed to around 13% of all deaths in Europe," as reported Tuesday by Reuters. The EEA was looking at data from 2012, the latest year for which information was available, and found that a "total of 630,000 deaths in the European Union's 27 countries plus Britain were attributable to environmental factors" that year, Reuters noted. How preventable are such deaths?

Guy McPherson and guest host Pauline Schneider were joined by Dr. Morris Berman, renowned educator who has taught at several universities in Europe and North America. We discussed Berman’s ongoing work as an innovative cultural historian and social critic. 

On this week's Global Research News Hour we host a timely and incisive interview with Guy McPherson on the Near Term Extinction of the human species and all life on earth. Guy elaborates on the threat due to melting of polar ice, the aerosol masking effect, challenges of persisting off the grid, and the determination of the mainstream climate movement to disregard his views. Guy McPherson is professor emeritus at the University of Arizona, author of over a dozen books and host/producer of Nature Bats Last, a radio podcast.

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan discussed a variety of topics, from climate change to Israel to a Marvel-ous economy.GUESTSDr. Guy McPherson - Internationally Recognized Speaker, award-winning scientist, world's leading authority on abrupt climate change | Climate Change Is ScaryMiko Peled - Human Rights Activist and Author of The General's Son, Journey of an Israeli in Palestine and Injustice, The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five | Israel is BadMark Frost - Economist, professor, consultant, drummer, Eagle Scout, Marine, libertarian'ish | Scarcity, Profit and ThanosIn Jamarl's first hour monologue, he voiced his displeasure that Tucker Carlson gave an explanation for the 17-year-old that shot three people in Kenosha, killing two. Shane pushed back on Jamarl's interpretation of Carlson's comments.Then the hosts talked to Dr. Guy McPherson, who said that events are happening once a decade and that he's not surprised human beings are losing habitats, since a warmer planet is a wetter planet. They also discussed extra political scientific approaches to dealing with climate change, including the Mirrors Project, which he contrasted to other attempts that have been tried in Europe and elsewhere that have not been successful. Dr. McPherson also described how he opted out of the global economic system and moved off the grid for a period of time before deciding it was not an effective way to get his message out, stating that time is of the essence.In the second hour, Shane and Jamarl spoke to Miko Peled about the situation of the Palestinians, who he says are under severe oppression by the state of Israel, which includes food, water, and power shortages. Miko discussed the recent headlines about the peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and how the media is using it to cover for the real nature of what's going on. Miko discussed his background as the son of an Israeli general in a patriotic Israeli household and talked about his journey from that background to being an anti-Israeli activist. They also talked about Mike Pompeo's RNC speech and how it was aimed at a Republican evangelical base, and he described Trump's popularity in Israel. Miko said the only solution for peace in the region is real one-man-one-vote democracy, In the third hour, the hosts talked to Mark Frost who said that he is a recovering libertarian and expressed a general disappointment in politicians across the board, although he said he is planning to vote for President Trump in the 2020 election. Given that, he said some might find it surprising that the Republican convention bothered him more than the Democrat one because as an atheist he felt the Republicans were too focused on God, when all he is interested in is how the party in power will use that power. Marc talked about how war creates significant economic problems because the cost of war is generally kicked to the next generation. They discussed Malthusian economics and its relationship to the Marvel universe before a discussion about love, scarcity of resources, and profit motive.

On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan talked about a variety of topics from the current spike in COVID-19 cases to innovative ways to fight climate change to game theory as it applies to our economy.Guests:Dr. Mikhail Kogan - Medical Director at the George Washington Center for Integrative Medicine | COVID SpikeDr. Guy McPherson - Internationally Recognized Speaker, award-winning scientist, world's leading authority on abrupt climate change | Dealing With Extreme Climate Change.Scott Santens - Writer, full-time advocate for UNCONDITIONAL Basic Income (UBI) | Action to Save the EconomyIn the first hour monologue, Jamarl Sounded alarm bells over President Trump's incorrect predictions on the COVID-19 pandemic and said he was putting economic interests over health.Also in the first hour, Jamarl and Shane spoke with Dr. Mikhail Kogan, who said that a lot of people not only don't seem to take the virus seriously, but also are not implementing the recommended policies. He also said that summer heat doesn't seem to have continued to flatten the curve and predicted more restrictive measures will be put into place.In the second hour, the hosts talked to leading climate change expert Dr. Guy McPherson, who discussed his long-term work as a climate scientist and said that it's been met largely with derision, plagiarism, and contempt. He also discussed a new project he's working on with a colleague from Harvard that involves using mirrors to reflect the sun's energy back and said he hoped the project would find funding.In the third hour, the hosts talked to Unconditional Basic Income advocate Scott Santens, who discussed the need to stimulate spending as a way to combat the economic troubles created by the COVID-19 pandemic. They also discussed the history of the game Monopoly, and Scott pointed out there is an alternative version called Prosperity that allowed everyone to win, something he said is a very different model then we use in our current economy.

No Megan's Megacan this week we're afraid - instead here's an extended interview from Konrad's (AKA Ben's) upcoming film about collapse, called "We're All Going To Die". It's a talk from October 2019 with conservation biologist Guy McPherson, who says human life will be extinct by 2026. He hopes he's wrong, obviously, but that's not the point. The point is, what do you do with that knowledge?

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Guy McPherson, an author, scientist, and Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona, talk about the record-breaking temperatures recorded in Siberia, whether we're past the "point of no return" ecologically, and connections between the uprising for racial justice, the pandemic, and the climate crisis.

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Jim Kavanagh, a political analyst and contributor to Counterpunch and ThePolemicist.net, to talk about former National Security Adviser John Bolton's new book, why "#resistance" pro-establishment Democrats have largely embraced the far-right neocon despite his lifelong bellicosity, and why so many countries (including US allies) have rejected a number of his claims.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Guy McPherson, an author, scientist, and Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona, talk about the record-breaking temperatures in Siberia, whether we're past the point of no return ecologically, and the connections between the uprising for racial justice, the pandemic, and the climate crisis.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Ken Hammond, an activist and professor of East Asian and Global History at New Mexico State University, to talk about why both sides of the US ruling class are "lashing out" towards China, how the passage of the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act by US Congress aims to suppress economic activity in China, and why any attempt to "decouple" the American and Chinese economies would almost certainly blow up in the face of the US government.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Brandon Sutton, host of The Discourse podcast, to talk about whether President Trump's rally in Tulsa was as much of a failure as the mainstrean media presents, why the US ruling class response to the pandemic and the anti-racist uprising reveal that capitalism is facing a crisis of legitimacy, and the signifance of the cancellation of various "copaganda" shows.

Steve Grumbine, founder of the nonprofit Real Progressives and host of the podcast Macro n Cheese, tells hosts Bob Schlehuber and Jamarl Thomas that we are cruising for an economic crisis triggered by dodgy commercial property loans, and that this whole racket has been conducted and shielded for decades. The same people who are evaluating the creditworthiness of these loans, and of the securities they’re packaged into, are exactly the ones who created the last loan crisis. This is an entire criminal enterprise organized to enrich a very few people who know exactly what they’re doing, he says. As for the rest of us, the results of this crash will be biblical. There are efforts underway to stimulate local commerce, including looking into alternative currencies. Guy McPherson, scientist, professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology and at the University of Arizona, explains how cleanup efforts can spread carcinogens. Climate change can, too: as dams break, pollutants are carried further; as wind speeds increase, harmful particles find new places to contaminate. A warming planet is also more hospitable for infectious disease. A tiny new virus can have huge, global effects, he says, and what we’re seeing now is just the beginning. There is some good news, however: this lockdown has slashed global carbon emissions, and renewable energy is on track to eclipse coal use in the US by the end of 2020. These are both positive trends, but climate change is a thorny issue, Guy reminds us. We’ve already overused extractive energies and pushed our planet to the brink, and greenhouse gasses aren’t our only problem. There might be technological solutions to help ameliorate these problems, but if we can’t tackle them, soon, it's time to begin saying goodbye to life as we know it. The Misfits also got into Klob for VP, the US exiting the Open Skies treaty, the double standard on China and Hong Kong, the continued trashing of Tara Reade, and Biden’s sneaky position on Syria.

In this episode of Wine, Women, and Revolution Heather is joined for a second time by author and activist Guy McPherson

Guy Mcpherson talks to Larry and Olav about the coming climate changes. This is a VERY interesting one!

Today we are interviewing Guy McPherson, professor emeritus at the University of Arizona and the world's leading authority on abrupt climate change leading to near-term human extinction. We talk to him about the current situation regarding the Earth's climate, how the Paris Climate Agreement and such accords are worthless, and why there is so much focus on individuals to combat climate change. His website is https://guymcpherson.com.

This week's Global Research News Hour examines two of the biggest threats to human existence on planet Earth: the elimination of human habitat due to Climate Change and the dangers of an increasingly likely World War 3 scenario evolving out of the tensions growing between US/NATO and Russia/China.  The first interview guest is Guy Mcpherson, Emeritus Professor of Natural Resources and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona, and author of the blog Nature Bats Last (guymcpherson.com) He has put together a workshop on Abrupt Climate change on the site onlyloveremains.org The second guest is Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, a Sociologist and a Research associate with the Centre for Research on Globalization, and an award-winning author. His book The Globalization of NATO is available for purchase at the Global Research Website. Nazemroaya lays out the geopolitical dynamics pushing the US/NATO in the direction of a nuclear confrontation with RUSSIA and China.

The year 2014 was notable not only for the political crises that often dominated the headlines, but very often for the way in which these events were distorted by the mainstream media. Events overtaking Ukraine were a particular case in point. While the Western Press blames Russian President Vladmir Putin for the instability and tragic loss of life in the Eastern Donbass region, it consistently ignores the role of the West in backing the forces that overthrew the democratically elected government, and even employed Neo-Nazi operatives in the coup and subsequent anti-coup resistance. Likewise, inadequate coverage of a new bogeyman in the form of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, has allowed political leaders like Canadian Prime Minister Harper to galvanize a confused and frightened public behind a neo-conservative program of military warfare and further erosions of our civil liberties. Mainstream media generally works to foster agendas that serve elite purposes, and media plays a crucial role in providing the information and analysis that can help the public to determine responsible policies. The Global Research News Hour and the Global Research website has tried to bring necessary critical perspectives during these historic times. This week, on our first new radio broadcast of 2015, we provide a digest of some of the many stories we have covered over the previous year. Includes contributions by Richard Sanders, Robin Philpot, Jon Rappoport, Yves Engler, Peter Dale Scott, James Petras, Henri Feron, Jacques Pauwels, Barrie Zwicker, Guy McPherson, Michel Chossudovsky, and Roger Annis.

 “Followers of climate science will recall COP15 as the climate-change meetings thrown under the bus by the Obama administration. A summary of that long-forgotten briefing begins with this statement: ‘THE LONG-TERM SEA LEVEL THAT CORRESPONDS TO CURRENT CO2 CONCENTRATION IS ABOUT 23 METERS ABOVE TODAY'S LEVELS, AND THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE 6 DEGREES C OR MORE HIGHER. THESE ESTIMATES ARE BASED ON REAL LONG TERM CLIMATE RECORDS, NOT ON MODELS.' “In other words, Obama and others in his administration knew near-term extinction of humans was already guaranteed.” -Guy McPherson, from the 2013 book Going Dark On the occasion of the UN Climate Conference in Lima, Peru, this week's Global Research News Hour examines the latest research into the causes of Earth's current Climate predicament.  Guy McPherson is emeritus Professor of natural resources and the environment at the University of Arizona, He is the author of about a dozen books including Going Dark and his most recent, Extinction Dialogs: How to Live with Death in Mind.' co-authored by Carolyn Baker. Guy is the author of the Nature Bats Last blog at www.guymcpherson.com.  Professor McPherson believes that there is virtually nothing humans can do to reverse the damage done by modern industrial civilization and that humans will likely become extinct as a result of runaway Climate change by the middle of the twenty-first century. Professor McPherson explains his thesis of Near Term Human Extinction, the need to come to terms with the grief that goes along with that realization, the problems with geo-engineering as a remedy, and the problematic behaviour of both political leaders and mainstream environmental organizations in the face of the Climate Predicament.

A Speech by Guy Mcpherson. The Global Research News Hour Episode 70This week's Global Research News Hour features a speech given by scientist and ‘doomer' author Guy Mcpherson. While much of the public may have doubts about whether or not anthropogenic climate change is a reality, it is a FACT that over 97% of peer-reviewed scientific research published over the last two decades confirm the viewpoint that the planet is indeed warming due to human activities. As noted in a previous interview, Dr. Mcpherson, Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources and the Environment at the University of Arizona, has spent countless hours pouring over the scientific literature, and connected numerous dots. Dr. Mcpherson is in full agreement with the scientific concensus around anthropogenic (human-generated) climate change. Further, he concludes that global warming has passed a “tipping point” and that habitat loss associated with the warming of the planet will condemn the human species to extinction within 20 years. Unlike other prominent scientists and activists, Mcpherson concludes that there is really nothing the human species can do to prevent or mitigate this catastrophe. Dr. McPherson has given many lectures to public audiences across Canada and the United States and has now done multiple media interviews. His February 6 speech in Winnipeg laid out the evidence in detail. Winnipeg audience members had a chance to direct questions to the American speaker afterward. The talk was introduced by his host, Gerry Kopelow of the Dharma Centre of Winnipeg. Guy McPherson is the author of Going Dark. His blog, Nature Bats Last, can be found atwww.guymcpherson.com.

On April 13, 2014, Michael Ruppert had just completed his final broadcast of his weekly radio show The Lifeboat Hour, which he has helmed since September 12, 2010. He went to an outdoor meditation spot on the property at which he had been residing. When he was found, he had apparently shot himself in the head with a Glock 30 .45 caliber pistol.  He was 63. Mike Ruppert had become one of the most outspoken and compelling voices in the realm of independent journalism and analysis. He brought to the table a stupendous command of economic, historical and political issues. Ruppert represented a convergence of valuable traits which included an academic's restless intellect, a cop's eye for detail, a heart-felt passion for justice, and the street-level experience of a whistleblower who broke ranks with the people he trusted in the name of an all too uncommon ethical code that he lived by. He was able to bring to the table the critical arguments challenging official government narratives about the global economy, the 9/11 attacks, the fratricidal death of Pat Tillman, CIA drug dealing in Black communities throughout the US, peak oil as a causative factor underlying US foreign policy, and many, many other stories. This week, the Global Research News Hour pays tribute to Mr. Ruppert on the occasion of his recent tragic death. The podcast contains audio from past speeches and a previously recorded conversation with him, as well as post-mortem conversations with five individuals who knew and worked with Mike Ruppert over the years. Carolyn Baker is a long-time acquaintance of Mike Ruppert's. She was an adjunct professor of history and psychology for 11 years and a psychotherapist in private practice for 17 years. She authored several books related to the concept of societal collapse. She contributed to Ruppert's on-line newsletter From The Wilderness, and co-hosted his final radio broadcast before he died. Kellia Ramares-Watson is an Oakland-based independent journalist and broadcaster. She was Bonnie Faulkner's co-host on the very first broadcast of Guns and Butter for radio station KPFA back on October 12, 2001. This debut episode featured none other than Mike Ruppert with his initial impressions of the 9/11 attacks and the US role in failing to prevent the attacks. The transcript of that interview is available on the Global Research website. Wesley Miller was Mike Ruppert's attorney, executor and personal friend. He replaced Ruppert as CEO and President of COLLAPSENET, the on-line community portal for individuals and communities seeking to transition away from a dependence on fossil fuels and industrial civilization. Barrie Zwicker is a long-time independent journalist and media critic. He became one of the first people in the world to publicly critique the official story of 9/11 on a national television broadcast. Barrie was largely for getting RUppert's analysis of 9/11 aired on Canadian television and paid tribute to him in his 2006 book Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-up of 9/11. Guy McPherson is Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. He has appeared on Ruppert's radio show a number of times pioneering his research pointing to the prospects for the Near Term Extinction of the human species due to climate change. Ruppert's work has appeared often over the years on the Global Research website. A link to some of those stories can be found here.

Tonight Guy McPherson, Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona joins us to talk about Climate Change and Near Term Extinction. Despite the media black out, and misinformation campaign by the minions of the Ruling Class, this brave man dares to join the few scientists addressing reality - we are truly and well on our way to an uninhabitable planet. Our goal is to offer user friendly explanations of what feed back loops are, what a 2 degree Celsius rise means, and how quickly that will turn into a 6 degree rise that will ultimately mean the death of the planet. Depressing, to be sure... but if I found I had terminal cancer, I would fight with every fiber of my being to live... so lets arm ourselves with the facts, and fight on....
