I do not understand what this means. Are you saying changes in solar output are responsible for the current period of mass extinction/evolution? This is not correct. The sun's output will slowly increase over 100s of millions of years, but this will not affect human interests and is of no concern.
"Rising energy costs. Check your utility bills."
We've been in a period of cheap energy for decades. I think it will continue. I say that about almost any commodity or basic material. All the value is in stuff we create. I predict oil will not be a large-scale energy source in 100 years, but its price will be similar to today.
"Technology has nothing to do with the 'globalization that he's speaking of. He's talking about globalized government."
A global gov't and the end of the nation state as we know it is happening now because geographical barriers no longer prevent transfer of value and communication. I think different passports, currencies, and languages will fade away over a few hundred years.
Obviously, I'm no Hari Seldon. These are my best guesses as to how history will unfold.

Seriously... I usually like what I've heard from him.

Any change in the amount of 'stuff' burned in the sun certainly threatens the environment as it is today.
Will absolutely cause any life on the planet to evolve to accommodate the changes in energy received by the planet.

Thanks for finding.
The article talks about hot buttons:
- Condemns NASA
- Condemns specific individuals and politicians.
- Talks about rising energy costs (what?) and denies that burning stuff on a large scale for energy threatens the environment.
- Says the repercussions of globalization are caused by a gang of evil people instead of technology.
It's close to the opposite of the book.
I'll certainly re-read AS the next time with a new point of view.
Excellent and needed posted! Five thumbs
