Check out Nature Bats Last. Prof. Guy McPherson (Conservation Biologist) frequently quotes your guests among many others. His story is amazing in how his life's educational journey impacted his educational impartation to his students until his choice to dissociate from his position of privilege in order to set an example for others to follow. Only to find out it was too late to make the needed difference. I warn you to not get caught up so much in what he wants humanity to learn about where the world is concerning climate change as much as how he wants humanity to learn how to live their best lives in light of what they need to understand concerning where the world is as it relates to climate change and how that will impact us all. Listen to what he is saying, not just what he is teaching.
Wow kudos on scoring these interviews for such a young growing channel. Gotta love Paul for telling it like it is. Looking forward to watching your interview with Bill Rees too despite knowing pretty much what he's going to say. I'm always shocked at how few views this subject matter gets despite literally being about life and death for billions of people, not to mention countless other life forms on this planet…it is beyond alarming and does not bode well. Regardless keep up the good work and know it's appreciated by your viewers. PS….and I subscribed 😊
Thank you for the interview, it is rare to find such interesting channels and you have such amazing guests. I am a maths student in my final year of my masters degree and am trying to somehow get into environmental science after graduating. I only really found out about our ecological predicament right after starting uni and feel like in the fields of maths, computer science and engineering it is not only rare to talk about those pressing issues even though we study how to model real world problems, but they are downright shunned (probably since there is no money to be made or we'd have to accept that simply switching to renewable energy is not the solution either). It was devastating at first getting to know how we screw up our planet, but it helped me to live a little bit more sustainable and peaceful life (i.e. going vegan and making music in my own taste as a creative outlet).
These two guys……..amazing amount of experience, wisdom, right on point. What we ALL need is what they KNOW, alas we are too lazy, spoiled and just plain dumb. I'm glad I KNOW THEM.
Most of us still have the mentality of cave people, doing what the hell our impulses tell us, regarding the natural world. All 8 billion + I've been on the lookout for another video, to include Paul Ehrlich. He pulls no punches. Gerardo Ceballos is in the same camp. Also very grateful to the superb job you do as host, Jesse Damiani. Glad to hear you emphasize the moral bankruptcy of the commonly cavalier, heartless rationalization, that refers to mass extinctions as being part of a normal cycle….as in, life will rebound anyway…. the show must go on…..not that big a deal in the scheme of things.

Exactly so. Humans have been busy destroying our own support system – biodiversity/plant and animal systems/regional landscapes and ecologies
An extinction is the only way the earth can recover from the damage we’ve done but it might take several million years.😢
Great job 👏🏻
