Professor Garrett makes the controversial point that carbon dioxide emissions, which are a major cause of runaway climate change, can only be stabilized by a complete collapse of the global industrial economy or society builds the equivalent of one nuclear reactor per day.
"Stabilization of carbon dioxide emissions at current rates will require approximately 300 gigawatts of new non-carbon-dioxide-emitting power production capacity annually - approximately one new nuclear power plant (or equivalent) per day," Garrett says. "Physically, there are no other options without killing the economy."
Every week new scientific reports are published that note how industrial civilization is driving us towards catastrophic climate change. Last week the the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, announced that March was the first month to surpass global carbon dioxide levels of 400 parts per million since measurements began. This is driving us towards the 2 degree rise in temperature that is seen by many as the upper limit for the planet. In the same week a new study was published in Nature Climate Change which reveals that sea level rise rates are speeding up. This poses a threat to the one billion people who live along shore lines around the world.

I’ll bet the professor is a registered Democrat.
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?
Your not going to get very good odds. Statistics say that approximately 90+% of college professors in America are registered Democrats.
“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.
Here in Kalifornia they are paying folks to eliminate their grass, grass eats co2 and produces o2 whats up with that?
How stupid are the ‘professors’ in our nation? Are they all as stupid as McPherson?
Idiots breathing oxygen threatens all life on the planet....
We need to pass a law or something.
Apparently, with so much time passing since that prediction in both frequency and severity of hurricanes and there being no hurricanes, some climate change believer on this video said that well, maybe the frequency part is no accurate, but the severity part is. So the next hurricanes to hit will be gigantic.
Gee, how convenient. Their predictions didn't work out so well, so they change the rules to the card game in the middle of the hand they've already dealt.
And hey, Al Bore, why isn't New York City under water yet? Al, please pick up the white courtesy phone. Al? Are you out there, Al?
The socialist paradises of the former Soviet Union, China and Cuba have abysmal environmental records far worse than any capitalist society.
If you want to look for his books, look for them in fiction.
The Professor should be in north Korea...
He got his degree from a box of Cracker Jacks..
He reads it for the comedic laughs from libs...
No... A Communist.
And the Chicomms send him free bikes, too.
The Aral Sea is more than half the size it was in 1950...
