near term extinction

[donquixote99]

I don't say quack, but I do find enough reason to be doubtful, and even more to be uninterested. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but McPherson's position is that nothing can be done, the situation is hopeless, we're all going to die, right? Well, if he's right, his message is therefore of no practical value, is it?

It may be of emotional value, of course. For example, one may take satisfaction is the thought that the rotten, awful human race is going to "get it."
