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!
