This author is a perennial quack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_McPherson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_McPherson : > He has made a number of future predictions that he thought were likely to occur. In 2007, he predicted that due to peak oil there would be permanent blackouts in cities starting in 2012. In 2012, he predicted the "likely" extinction of humanity by 2030 due to climate-change, and mass die-off by 2020 "for those living in the interior of a large continent". In 2018, he was quoted as saying "Specifically, I predict that there will be no humans on Earth by 2026", which he based on "projections" of climate-change and species loss. Real, systemic change will be needed to fight climate change. It does no good to hype up idiots like this guy.
