Incredible Writing on the Coming “Climate Apocalypse”

Incredible Writing on the Coming “Climate Apocalypse”2GreenEnergy supporter Cameron Atwood sent me this masterpiece from Jedediah Purdy (pictured), Professor of Law at Duke Law School, where he teaches constitutional and environmental law; it begins: “In the last week, a group of scientists and a prominent historian each predicted a climate apocalypse.”  Our conversation:

Craig: Holy (cow), that’s amazing.  What an article.

Cameron:  Isn’t it? The last line is especially brilliant:  “That 150 years is also less than a blink in the eye of planetary time. And that eye is now a human one, looking back at us from a future that only we will make.”  It’s so completely necessary that more people think like this.

Craig:  Yes, that line is breath-taking; it is an extraordinary piece of writing from start to finish, really.  And your assessment is spot-on, IMO.  I’ll write a post on it in the hopes that our readers will check it out.
