Are Humans Going Extinct? By Dahr Jamail

Some scientists, Guy McPherson included, fear that climate disruption is already so serious, with so many self-reinforcing feedback loops already in play, that humans are in the process of causing our own extinction.

My friend Andrew Harvey says that the only heart worth having is a broken one.
