...Date: 05-29-12 Host: George Noory Guests: Robert Zubrin, Ptolemy Tompkins In the first half, innovator in the fields of aerospace and energy, Robert Zubrin, discussed the history of the antihumanism movement. He traced the movement to Thomas Malthus' ideas about population in the 18th century, to Paul Ehrlich's dire warnings about population growth in the 20th century (overpopulation is growing like a cancer, and our planet can't sustain it), as well as studies by the Club of Rome, a global think tank. Currently, powerful and unprincipled elites are behind genocidal population-control programs around the world, he contended. "The use of this kind of ideology...says that human beings are destroyers and basically have to be put under control or they're going to wreck everything and therefore, we the wise ones, must be in control," he continued. Zubrin suggested that this kind of control has played out by stopping or discouraging technology that could be of enormous benefit to mankind, such as nuclear power. He further cited the banning of the pesticide DDT which was used to wipe out malaria (now 3 million Africans die each year from it), protests against enriched GMO foods which could save millions who die from vitamin deficiencies, and the reduction of industrialization under the guise of concern about global warming. He argued that environmentalists had been duped into this line of "fashionable" thinking which he compared to eugenics-- considered acceptable by many in the ......

...Writer and thinker Jeremy Rivkin delivers this address to the Royal Society of the Arts (RSA) in London on the critical need to develop our economies into a post carbon Third Industrial Revolution, or else we'll spiral into a "dangerous endgame". Rivkin is the president of the Foundation of Economic Trends and the author of numerous books on the impact of scientific and technological changes in on the economy, the workforce, society and the environment. Rifkin is compelling in addressing the coming convergence of internet technology and digital communications with energy and environmental issues. He has been an advisor to the European Union since 2002 and in that capacity has been the principle architect of the Third Industrial Revolution long term economic sustainability plan addressing the global economic crisis, energy security and climate change. ------------------------------------------ A little heavy on the "hydrogen economy", which many experts believe to be an unrealisable (but awesomely attractive) dream. Still, Jeremy obviously gets "peak oil" and "climate change"! ------------------------------------------ Sourced from the Australian ABC's Big Ideas program as a free MP4 download: www.abc.net.au...

...Bret Weinstein is an evolutionary theorist and member of the faculty at The Evergreen State College. In "Natural Selection and the Evolution of Climate Change" he considers how the choices individuals make trying to do right, can often be ineffective or even harmful. On April 16, 2012, speakers and attendees gathered at TEDxTheEvergreenStateCollege: Hello Climate Change to reflect on the ability -- and responsibility -- of formal and informal education to inspire and empower action in this era of climate change. In thespirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)...
