Hi, if you are here trolling, take a hike, there are better views from a mountaintop. Otherwise, enjoy every moment of your life while the day is young, don't forget to tell people you love them. Don't forget to say sorry. Don't be an asshole. Be a good person. Don't break other people's stuff.

Below is my first LPB page's iteration and it has undergone many edits, good and bad. Big thanks to the skilled editors on this site who try to keep it civil and objective. Despite my COI I have remained objective in my edits. The objectivity and civility by others in editing don't always stick. This is why we turn to the Volunteer Response Team and the oversight-en-wp@wikipedia.org PESchneider (talk) 13:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

In May 2009 he began the ongoing process of "walking away from empire" and he then created an off-grid homestead in southern New Mexico. His first memoir, Walking Away From Empire, is a series of essays describing his intellectual, emotional and philosophical journey that led to his departure from his tenured position as full professor at the University of Arizona.

Dr McPherson runs a blog at GuyMcPherson.com, called Nature Bats Last, that focuses on global climate change, energy decline and the very real possibility of imminent human extinction due to greenhouse gases. Specific topics range, and include philosophy, evolution, economics, humanity, politics, current events, and many aspects of the human condition, but always in relation to Near Term Human Extinction. It receives more than 2000 hits a day and has a large community of regular readers and essay contributors. The articles are updated every few days and all points of view are welcome, as long as the general idea relates somehow to Near Term Human Extinction.

He regularly updates a section of the blog called Climate-change Summary and Update, where he collects and analyzes the latest peer reviewed data on climate change.

Dr McPherson travels and lectures on climate change and Near Term Human Extinction as a result of the combined crises of Climate Change, Ecosystem Deterioration, and Economic Collapse. His lectures are free.

November 1st, 2015, Dr. McPherson will be featured on the National Geographic show, Explorer premier, with host Bill Nye.
