Tragedy is like strong acid – it dissolves away all but the very gold of truth.
– D.H. Lawrence
Abrupt climate change leading to near term human extinction is a tragedy. Let us develop this drama step by step to dis-cover the gold.
Since ancient Greek drama tragedies follow a special plot.
Shakespearean tragedies follow these rules too. I’ll take Macbeth as an example.
Similarity (Mac…) to actual persons is purely coincidental.
What makes a biologist like Guy McPherson suppose, that the climate change leads to the demise of the human species? One of the answers we will hear in this episode is: Habitat, habitat, habitat!

Fakt: Dieser Planet hat bei 3,3 C [Grad Celsius] oder mehr über der Ausgangslinie (d.h., der Beginn der industriellen Revolution) keine Menschen beherbergt. Die Zahl kann auch viel tiefer liegen. Das letzte Wort ist noch nicht gesprochen.
