Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Richard Heinberg to discuss peak oil, peak everything, the changing face of our world, and the future of agriculture.
It was kinda strange to meet Richard in person since he seems to be everywhere in the media these days, but despite his celebrity status, he was grounded, graceful, and welcoming. It didn't take long before we were down to business filming our conversation and Richard was outlining the challenges to our future, our complete and utter dependency on oil and fossil fuels and his belief that we are about to undergo some major transitional crisis' as a global collective society.
When asked about optimism, Richard spoke to our adaptive nature and how throughout human history we've changed a lot as a species, and we are fully capable of changing some more. The world of the next hundred years is likely to be much different from the world of the last hundred years, and like James Lovelock said in his interview with Rolling Stone, for those who survive, it will be quite exciting.
It does Richard no service for me to speak for him, so go hear his own words online.
Google Richard Heinberg for lots more!
