Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Concerning Humanity’s Future: Interview with Nick Humphrey, Climatologist and Geoscientist

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Concerning Humanity’s Future: Interview with Nick Humphrey, Climatologist and Geoscientist

Click here to access an interview with meteorologist/geoscientist Nick Humphrey conducted by "xraymike79" from his blog Collapse of Industrial Civilization: Finding the Truth behind the American Hologram. (ML is "xraymike79")

I first discovered the writings of meteorologist/geoscientist Nick Humphrey with his brutally honest essay The Conversation No One Knows How To Have and since then have followed his posts and comments. He has been featured or quoted in a number of publications such as Mother Jones, New York Times, Washington Post, and Science Alert. Few scientists will publicly tell you how dire things are, but Nick Humphrey is not one to shy away from the truth. What follows is a Q&A interview I held with him on a variety of questions concerning humanity’s future.
