Should Whole Foods John Mackey Stop talking about Global Warming Until He Gets his Facts Right?

Does John Mackey the head of Whole Foods really not understand the consequences of global warming and climate destabilization? Should he stick to being just a grocer and not try to take public positions on global warming until he at least has done his research homework?

On January 22 nd at 10 am on KQED public radio in San Francisco John Mackey head of Whole Foods gave an interview in which he expressed the following opinions about global warming and its consequent climate destabilization.

We are being effected too much by the fear being generated by global warming alarmists. We will adapt to it! And, the poor will be hurt too much by efforts to clamp down too hard on carbon pollution.

Our organization invites John Mackey to study the fee and dividend carbon reduction program created by James Hansen the world most prestigious climate scientist that would not hurt the poor as we reduce carbon pollution.

We also invite John Mackey to read Six Degrees by Mark Lynas and then re-evaluate if fear is completely appropriate to the magnitude of the real threat that all of humanity faces concerning its future.  We also invite John Mackey after reading this book to reconsider his position that "we will adapt" to global warming in light of what will happen to the planet and the 8 billion members of humanity as we reach temperature increases of 4-6 degrees Celsius. (If we reach 4-6 degree Celsius temperature increases, there will be a whole lot less Whole Foods customers on this planet and the ones that remain would be living lives little like their lives now.)

John Mackey's statements to KQED public radio today on global warming were an easily avoidable embarrassment to Whole Foods customers, to Whole Foods and to the other great work in other areas John Mackey has done. They were so bad and harmful to those individuals and organizations working to reverse global warming and climate destabilization that a public apology by John Mackey is absolutely required.
