PROF. DR. GUY R. MCPHERSON

Beginn 18.00 - 21.30 Uhr

Vortrag in englischer Sprache

Im Anschluss Empfang mit Tapas und Networking

Wie lange wird die Erde unserer permanenten Ausbeutung noch standhalten können?
Was bringt ein abrupter Klimawandel für Veränderungen mit sich?
Und sind wir eigentlich mutig genug, uns mit diesen Themen auseinanderzusetzen?

Im Rahmen der Europatour von Prof. Dr. Guy McPherson freuen wir uns, auch für Berlin eine Vortrags-Veranstaltung zu organisieren, um Antworten auf diese und viele weitere elementare Fragen zu finden.

Prof. Dr. Guy R. McPherson ist emeritierter Professor für die Fachbereiche Ökologie, Evolutionsbiologie und Natürliche Ressourcen. Er lehrte 20 Jahre lang an der Universität von Arizona, bevor er im Mai 2009 aus ethischen Gründen seine sichere Stellung kündigte. McPherson hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, sein beeindruckendes Wissen zum Thema „Abrupter Klimawandel und dessen Folgen“ weltweit weiterzugeben. Seine Erkenntnisse basieren auf fundierten wissenschaftlichen Studien und der Sammlung und Auswertung relevanter Daten verschiedener Klimaforscher.

Nähere Informationen über McPherson und seine Arbeit erhaltet ihr unter www.guymcpherson.net.

McPherson verzichtet auf eine Vergütung seiner Vorträge und folgt der Philosophie der Schenkökonomie. Die komplette Tour wird von Freiwilligen organisiert und durchgeführt. Die Reisekosten konnten beinah vollständig über eine Crowdfunding-Kampagne finanziert werden. Wir freuen uns dennoch über eine kleine finanzielle Unterstützung am Ende der Veranstaltung, um die noch offenen Ausgaben decken zu können.

Info in English:

Guy McPherson is an energetic speaker and talented moderator. He has appeared before countless 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 such as universities, associations, nonprofits, and numerous educational and scientific symposia and conferences.

Selected presentations are available at McPherson’s YouTube channel or, more recently,
Nature Bats Last’s YouTube channel, but each presentation is uniquely prepared for the specific audience.

Guy is professor emeritus of natural resources and the environment at the University of Arizona, where he taught and conducted research for twenty award-winning years. His scholarly work, which has for many years focused on conservation of biological diversity, has produced
11 books and more than 100 articles. 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.

Guy developed a comprehensive set of durable living arrangements in response to the ongoing collapse of the industrial economy and global climate change. He shares property in a rural area developed specifically to provide abundant supplies of food and water as well as maintaining comfortable body temperature in the absence of fossil fuels. He is available for consultation if you are serious about doing the same.

Because the topics of his presentations often induce despair and grief, Guy became a certified grief-recovery specialist in January 2014. The certification came from The Grief Recovery Institute.
