Sorley McCaughey, of Christian Aid, said all of the leaders should stay until they managed to produce a “fair, ambitious and binding (FAB) deal on climate change.” All of this pretending and bickering will continue, IMO, until we hit the first real tipping point. That could be sudden...
Likewise, development project managers and policy decision-makers can use permaculture as a framework to open their thinking, and adopt new models that are needed in the context of current resource constraints and climate change. They should seek and evaluate alternative approaches like permaculture to...
Then, we need a "Manhattan Project" type program for fusion energy; plus solar/wind/geo-thermal and major distribution grid improvements. That and mass transit, nationwide, to replace automobiles as the major transportation paradigm. In short, we have to change the way we live. Unless it is...
From my perspective, I'm beginning to see climate change completely trumping peak oil. We still have half the oil left, at a price. Mitigation efforts and alternative energy schemes (some are just that) are gearing up. The worst seems to be as yet some time in the future. Climate ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has vowed to tackle climate change in his second term, but so far has not acted to strengthen a tool that does not require backing from Congress - the National Environmental Policy Act. NEPA, a statute that dates to the Nixon administration, cal...
The current US political polarization is a direct result of this conflict, as FF interests try to cripple the forces of change. It reminds me of historic transitions, like the industrial Northern US fighting a civil war with the agricultural South. I seem to remember a similar analysis for ...
Yet when one looks at his policy reversals over the last two months, he is not really offering very much substantive, objective change, just as a dinner bell is not really a steak. But change is what we need right now. We do not, I repeat, do not need more drilling off the coasts...
