If the prophet from episode 76 <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=89d30017a0&e=229f6020b9> has his way, humanity might even beat that three-year pace (double yikes!). I’m well aware that Asher, Jason, and I can strike a doomer chord from time to time, but we’re not in the same league as these two world-class SUPER-DOOMERS! There’s a fun upside to these apocalyptic prophets: they make Crazy Townies seem like happy-go-lucky, wide-eyed optimists. But the real upside comes when we take a few deep breaths, debunk their prophecies, and figure out how to deal with environmental and social crises in our communities.
