Radio Curious continues its series on near term human extinction in a conversation about applying hospice treatment towards the dying planet and human species with Carolyn Baker, co-author of âExtinction Dialogues: Â How to Live With Death in Mindâ.
Barry Vogel, Attorney and Counselor, is the Host and Producer of Radio Curious. Christina Aanestad is the Assistant Producer.
This is third conversation in our series on near term human extinction, the most disturbing group of interviews in the twenty-five year history of Radio Curious. In this program, faced with a grim future of the human species on earth, we consider the role of hospice for all of us and for our planet.
Our guest is Carolyn Baker, Ph.D., co author with Dr. Guy McPherson of âExtinction Dialogues: Â How to Live With Death in Mind.â She is also the author of âLove in the Age of Ecological Apocalypse: Cultivating the Relationships We Need to Thrive.â As an author and psychotherapist, Carolyn Baker discusses the importance of emotional and spiritual preparedness for the cataclysmic changes that abrupt climate change will bring.
âExtinction Dialoguesâ presents credible scientific evidence that global warming is pushing our planet to a swift apocalyptic end, more rapidly that we comprehend. This includes the extinction of the human species. In the second half of their book, Baker encourages and recommends a hospice approach.
When Carolyn Baker and I spoke on September 20, 2015 from her home in Boulder, Colorado, we discussed ways to practice hospice as the earthâs temperature increases to a point at which humans cannot endure. We began our conversation when I asked her how hospice treatment can be applied to the dying planet.
The book Carolyn Baker recommends is âDie Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul,â by Stephen Jenkinson. Â Â Carolyn Baker's website is: http://www.carolynbaker.net/.
Parts one and two of this seriesâa conversation with co-author of âExtinction Dialoguesâ Dr. Guy McPhersonâis on the Radio Curious website: www.radiocurious.org.
