Undaunted courage: Warmist Paul Kingsnorth thinks that unchecked CO2 emissions will be "the end of the world"

‘I withdraw’: A talk with climate defeatist Paul Kingsnorth | Grist

An English writer and erstwhile green activist, he spent two decades (he’ll turn 40 this year) in the environmental movement, and he’s done with all that. And not only environmentalism — he’s done with “hope.” He’s moved beyond it. He’s not out to “save the planet.” He’s had it with the dream of “sustainability.” He’s looked into the abyss of planetary collapse, and he’s more or less fine with it: Collapse? Sure. Bring it on...

Kingsnorth:

“Unless we find ways to stop pumping carbon into the atmosphere, it will be the end of the world (or of humanity), full stop.”
