13: Virtual Town Hall: A Chat with Presidential Candidate Dave Gardner

Some voters are seriously concerned about our environmental meta-crisis, as we find out in this virtual town hall. Dave isn’t burning gas (and cash) roaming the country to meet with voters, so to have a dialogue he took to Zoom. Much of the conversation focused on answering these key questions:How can we be effective but also quick in alerting the public to the ecological overshoot emergency, and leading the country to action?Is there a role for alarmism, or not? And if facts don’t persuade, what will, and how quickly?Also discussed: How best to educate the public about overpopulation, in the face of growing baby bust alarmism.Thanks to those who joined in this conversation!Recorded May 11, 2024See the video of this town hall: https://youtu.be/iIE7-gEwn0E MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Bright Future Projecthttps://brightfutureproject.com This Sustainable Life – podcast hosted by Joshua Spodek, and morehttps://joshuaspodek.com/ The Limits to Growthhttps://www.clubofrome.org/publication/the-limits-to-growth/ We Asked 380 Top Climate Scientists What They Felt About the FutureThey are terrified, but determined to keep fighting.
