FWIW, John Mackey has a pretty warped view on the environment, so I have a hard time lending him credibility regarding his opinions on the topic.
"We’ve been in a gradual warming trend since the ending of the “Little Ice Age” in about 1870, and climate change is perfectly natural and not necessarily bad. In general, most of humanity tends to flourish more when global temperatures are in a warming trend and I believe we will be able to successfully adapt to gradually rising temperatures."

- tmountain 7y agoWhen I hear the phrase, "climate change is perfectly natural and not necessarily bad", it comes across a denial that human beings are the cause of climate change. Rhetoric that dilutes the message that we're facing the biggest existential threat in the history of humankind is universally harmful.
