Epistemology 101: How do we know what we know? Sometimes it’s easy: Any sixth-grade science student can tell you that Building 7 and the Twin Towers were destroyed by controlled demolitions, since office fires don’t make buildings disappear symmetrically at free-fall acceleration through the path of most resistance. But what about global warming or climate change? Is it, like 9/11 or Iranian nukes, a “manufactured crisis“? Or, as David Ray Griffin argues, is it an unprecedented emergency? (Read Griffin’s Unprecedented: Can Civilization Survive the CO2 Crisis? )

In this interview, Graeme MacQueen, author of The 2001 Anthrax Deception, argues that Griffin is right, global warming is real – and discusses the crisis of confidence in authority that makes it so hard to believe anything emanating from mainstream institutions. He explains why the New World Order will never get off the ground, how the US empire will meet its doom, and why international agreements to intentionally keep carbon in the ground are not such a bad idea.

Graeme MacQueen teaches at McMaster University, where he is the founder of the Centre of Peace Studies in Canada and its War and Health program.
