Ascendant authoritarian fascists seeking to oppress others and obstruct responses to scientific truths with hate speech and alternative facts must be resisted and eliminated from public discourse and power. “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” – Thomas Jefferson “Hate speech and…

Global Biosphere Collapse, the End of Being, Upon Us

October 23, 2016August 25, 2021 Dr. Glen Barry 18 Comments

Miraculous nature is being murdered. Everywhere we look inequitable over-consumption is devastating the natural ecosystems that sustain a living Earth. Together we yield to ecological truth – personally embracing a global ecology ethic, and demanding others do so as well – or we all needlessly die at each others’ throats as the global ecological system…

Declaring Climate Peace in an Age of Ecological Restoration

September 11, 2016August 25, 2021 Dr. Glen Barry 15 Comments

Bill McKibben’s Ecology-Free Declaration of War on Climate is Dangerous and Wrong

August 28, 2016August 25, 2021 Dr. Glen Barry 49 Comments

Why does Bill McKibben’s recent sensationalistic appeal for a “War on Climate” make no mention, not even one, of ecology or ecosystems?

An important scientific journal article published today finds that 66% of Earth’s land area must be maintained as natural and agro-ecological ecosystems to sustain a livable environment.

Excerpt of manuscript accepted for publication mid-2014 by Management of Environmental Quality Abstract Planetary boundary science defines key thresholds in the Earth System’s biogeochemical conditions that precede ecosystem collapse and threaten human well-being.

God Pollution: Nature Is My Religion, Earth Is My Temple

March 18, 2014August 25, 2021 Dr. Glen Barry 4 Comments

On a small planet plagued by a myriad of life-threatening problems, it’s time to choose between truth and myth, superstition and wisdom, life and death. Either you believe in truth, justice, and knowledge, or you let ghosts, spirits, and superstition guide you. Observable truths are the only basis for the necessary social change to bring…
