Last week, Dr. Guy McPherson predicted humans will go extinct by 2030. Now science journalist Scott K Johnson and counter-culture podcaster KMO explain why they disagree. It's bad, but not that bad?

There are reports of people becoming despondent, or quitting their jobs and lives, after hearing Professor Emeritus Guy McPherson's claims we will go extinct by 2030. Guy interprets science to say the world will heat so rapidly, as the oceans die, humans will not be able to survive.
Science journalist Scott K. Johnson has investigated some of these claims and finds science does not support McPherson's extreme conclusions. We go through the case against.
Long-time counter-culture podcaster KMO contacted me with his concerns about McPherson and the growing Near-Term Extinction movement. We explore the motives, archetypes, and millenia-long reasons why millions of people long for human life to be over.
KMO has interviewed many doomers over the years, but thinks McPherson goes too far.
I explain why I think the McPherson's early date for our extinction is flawed, based on a source that is not credible. Don't quit your day-job and make that good-bye You tube video just yet...
