WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Guy McPherson is an entertaining and thoughtful speaker. I’ve heard him speak on a variety of topics from basic ecology to the links between science and management to the big stuff that really matters and he approaches each with well-researched preparation, captivating delivery, and passion.”
“Guy McPherson has a sharp, witty humor that not only entertains, but challenges one’s imagination and deep held beliefs. If you leave one of his talks and are not thinking deeply about the subject, you were not listening.”
“His approach is disarming and his message is both life-changing and convincingly alarming. A blend of Paul Revere with Rachel Carson, Guy McPherson is a significant voice of rational conscience nudging in the wilderness. Fierce as Ed Abbey, and equally prophetic, Professor McPherson is a modern-day John Muir with a global perspective. Beyond the warnings is a body of thoughtful and pragmatic real world ideas for how best to survive and manage our entry into the coming age.”
“Guy McPherson is a fabulous speaker – earnest and honest, clever and funny, thought provoking and knowledgeable; one of my favorites.”
