Yes, the same Guy McPherson who went to live in the desert (I guess he doesn't need water) in 2005 because he thought peak oil had hit. He predicted that by 2008 we would be feeling severe societal collapse, by 2013 we would have no cars on the road, by 2018 we will be in the stone age, and by 2030 we will be completely extinct. I agree with him that we're in deep trouble, but I don't take his science seriously nor his choice of cronies (e.g., Carolyn Baker, New Age peddler and member of a UFO/ET Facebook group).
