Lyle Lewis- We are a species poised soon to disappear

by



Why should you read Racing to Extinction? “Writers who address the abuse we have inflicted on the planet tend to close on a hopeful note that a few tweaks and some minor lifestyle changes and all will be well. I can’t, in good conscience make those same assurances. This book provides the rationale for resignation and acceptance..we are a species poised soon to disappear, humanity is quite literally, racing to extinction”
Welcome Lyle Lewis.
“I am a former endangered species biologist/supervisor with the Department of Interior in the United States. I was founder of the Western Bat Working Group and Southwestern Carnivore Committee and received awards for bat, carnivore, and natural area conservation. My career and love of the outdoors has taken me to many of the wildest places in North America, having spent several decades in backcountry and wilderness areas.
Growing up on a small ranch in southern Oregon in relative isolation, nature became my best friend. During my professional career, I held diverse and unusual positions including range conservationist, watershed specialist, hydrologist, fisheries biologist, ecologist, wildlife biologist, endangered species branch chief, and endangered species recovery coordinator. More than two decades of my federal career were spent in efforts to conserve imperiled species in the face of livestock grazing, logging, oil and gas development, agricultural development, mining, recreation, highway expansion, construction, rights-of-way, and urban development.”

  4. Thx. I am reminded of the realisation that a large forest in S Africa was not original, having been grid burnt over 100000 years ago. Our configuration means that we would have to have been under strict manners from the start – and some groups did get a handle on it, only to get wiped out by those who did not. It also splintered us into multispecies and brought out the monkey troupe aspect of our simian legacy.. patterns that locked us into a path to oblivion on a finite planet.

  6. I would have liked to know what he thinks the diet of our ancestors was. There is a study published in 2021 saying that humans were primarily carnivores.

    You can search for:

    "Got Beef? Your Ancestors Were Likely VERY into Meat…"

    "Israeli study: Humans were hyper-carnivorous apex predators for 2 million years"

  7. Our current situation is from excess CO2 converts instantly to carbonic_acid at the AirSeaInterface not over land/lg.islands air mixes too fast below Mt.Everest [the greenhouse layer].

    We're dissolving plankton 10-times faster vs PETM'S flood_basalts did in 50,000yrs of eruptions by too much CO2 too fast for marinebiology's calcium_carbonate saturationpoint pH of 8.2 about which pH varies from volcanics over time.

    We're at 8.05pH today this raised freezeup temps above saltwater's-2C so makes weaker seaice and less brine volume.
    &
    The lower pH prevents refreezing seabed methane clathrate deposits now bubble-fields soon to be huge pipes the water_column too warm 4km/13,120ft deep.

    This risks 1,400-Gt of methane deposits with 5-Gt in today's atmosphere the ante on the game.

    There is a feasible strategy to refreeze them using modified existing ground-freezing drilling rigs to standalone submersible operations.

    Unfunded Ind.RnD project suggests this.

    So that's your job, I'm on fixed-income in a tent being a nonfossil industrial designer in a personal financial gulag the CBDC a blanket version.

    So, DIY I can't.
    Thx

  13. Yep, totally agree about plants running the show and how humans are domesticated. I like this guy. He has his head on straight and took the chance at revealing what was behind the curtain. ….. But civilization depends on delusion, yet like all delusions, they intersect reality and poof. No, you are not ready and are not prepared to live without civilization. The other one percent.

  14. Sentience to self-awareness to profound knowledge of mortality to 'fear/terror' of death leads to the invention of reasons to be and place that eventually take form as deities and religion. It's not the size of the brain that matters. It's the density of neural connectivity that distinguishes humans from other lifeforms. This 'quality' enabled humans to become the apex invasive species, to self-designate itself as divinely entitled, and to perpetrate and justify the grossest of inhumanities……all of which sadly supersede the virtuous human capacities for empathy, altruism, and social cooperation which are the very attributes required to combat the existential threat of climate change, biosphere crises and species extinction.

  17. This seems appropriate. I will put the music video up on Discord under, you guessed it, music. Enjoy.

    Lyrics

    Say goodbye to everything you know
    Say hello to what a man can know
    (Monsterman, monsterman)

    This, his one and only dream
    It's all obscene, to monsterman
    (Man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man)
    (Huh, man, huh, huh, huh, huh)

    The man's a monster
    A beast on the run (huh)
    He's a virus you can't stop with a gun (huh)
    Lewd implant from a mind insane
    Now springs from the House of Pain

    There is no, zombie in the closet
    There is no, thing underneath the bed
    There's no alien abduction
    The monster's in your head

    Say what you want, say what you will
    Said and done, the threat is still
    (Monsterman, monsterman)

    They say, beauty's in the eye
    Of the beholder so don't try
    To understand him

    Everyday is Halloween
    It's all obscene, to monsterman
    (Man, man, man, man, man, man, man, man)
    (Huh, huh, huh, huh)

  19. 31:24 Exactly why anyone blaming the 1% or "They" is a CFM…Humans have been on this path of Destruction for thousands of years…Trying to seperate the 1% from the bottom 50% is outrageous, the Alien Cortex has been building the Global Industrial MegaCancer for 300 years…

  22. ACtually China made the first paper money and its value was enforced via the Chinese military collecting taxes as grain from the farmers. So money DOES have value – it's value is the military enforcement of its value. Read PRofessor Jack Weatherford's book "Money: A history" for details.

  28. Thank you Sandy Schoelles, and thank you Environmental Coffehouse, it’s through Lyle Lewis that I’ve come across your site. Believe this is Lyle’s first, and hopefully the start of many future podcasts along with public and private invites. I came across Lyle Lewis by accident whilst conversing an SM site, an SM site that renamed itself following the arrival of a sink (I’ve found if I name this site my comments don’t always appear on here, especially when containing links). I closely follow Nate Hagen of “The Great Simplification’, John Michael Greer, Prof. Eliot Jacobson, to name but a few. If Sandy Schoelles you’ve come across these names you’ll know there’s a close biospherical/environmental link, albeit that they don’t all agree they’ll be human extinction any time soon, maybe just a rapid ecological adjustment. One of my SM followers suggested I might like to read Lewis’s book, so purchased and read it, it’s an easy read, unfortunately for me there was nothing in it that surprised me, but it did reinforced what I’ve learnt at the university of life and so come to believe. Lyle Lewis along with his book “Racing To Extinction” needs as much exposure as possibly to further the debate🤔

  30. Thanks so much for this wonderful intelligent and insightful interview with Lyle, just awesome. Unfortunately our predicament is not so awesome. Shared views on humanity for me, I have come to accept what man is, and it ain't pretty, but there are a few out there who are an exception to the rule. Some youtube channels out there are so wound up with emotional baggage, I like a straight forward, matter of fact, but yet light interview style.
