Book: 'UNPRECEDENTED: Can Civilization Survive the CO2Crisis

2015 by David Ray Griffin Clarity Press

This guy must be Graeme. How these quotes:

"The fossil-fuel industry has products that, if it is allowed to continue producing them, will destroy civilization"

"Not only should we have no regrets about abolishing fossil-fuel energy, we are
morally required to do so"

The chapter 'The Transition to Clean Energy' is funny. He goes on to say the doomers were right about solar not doing the job until like 2014...

"Not long ago, this threefold argument would have been correct. But it no
longer is, for several reasons."

And those three reasons are Improved Photovoltaics: Oxford PV's perovskite solar cell, Improved Storage: Flow Batteries, Nanotechnology: Nanoflowers

Then he goes on with the usual bs of everything (Tidal, geothermal, biomass, biofuels) else is making huge strides...

In the final chapter, he throws in the towel and says you are all pathetic:

"If we do not decisively take acton to prevent a hellish climate, our children, grandchildren,
and great-grandchildren will rightly refer to us as the pathetc generaton.
Given our refusal to cut emissions over the past 30 years, it is
already too late to save the kind of world that has been hospitable to human
beings since the rise of civilizaton. "
Outcast_Searcher is a fraud.
