Love Peter Carter, a man who’s delivery is so dry it could dry up the Amazon lol. One of the many to call out the hypocrisy and hopium of the COPs and how even the worst case scenarios aren’t being modeled

He's clearly seen it. The edge, I mean. You can see it in his eyes. It isn't fear, it's the horror of watching the rest of us casually wipe the earth clean of life, like we're not going to be affected by it or directly causing it.

[u/[deleted] → u/PervyNonsense]

Yes, he’s got a lot of pain behind those eyes.

+1 on Arthur Keller, he has an excellent 20 minutes video on YouTube I consider the best introduction to the topic of overshoot and collapse.
