'Rewiring'
The World's Energy (Boston Globe)
CLIMATE CHANGE isn't just another
issue in this complicated world of proliferating
issues. It's the issue that -- unchecked -- will
swamp all others. Unfortunately, the urgency of
the climate crisis is overwhelmed by competition
from other major problems. We are under attack
from terrorists. We are apprehensive about the
aftermath of the Iraq war. Our trick-or-treat
economy is as unnerving to investors as it is
cruel to workers. These diverse challenges may
be susceptible to a common solution -- a rapid
worldwide transition to clean energy. |

Nothing
Virtual About Global Warming (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
The overwhelming scientific
consensus is that global warming is real, it's
serious, it's caused mostly by humans and it is
to some extent correctable. But due to the intransigence
of the Bush administration and comrades, virtually
nothing has been done to correct it. |

Earth
Warming at Faster Pace, Say Top Science Group's
Leaders (San Francisco Chronicle)
Statement
by American Geophysical Union's council warns
temperature change is real and human-caused.
"It is scientifically inconceivable that
after changing forests into cities, turning
millions of acres into farmland, putting massive
quantities of soot and dust into the atmosphere
and sending quantities of greenhouse gases into
the air, that the natural course of climate
change hasn't been increased in the past century.'' |

Global
Trade = Global Warming (Salon.com)
Just one early impact
of increasing long-distance trade is the emerging
issue of "food miles." The fossil-fuel
energy spent to transport food products often
exceeds the energy contained in the foods themselves.
To add insult to injury, transportation is a major
source of carbon-dioxide emissions. |

Doubts Global Warming Is Real, U.S. Experts Say
(Reuters)
"There is no doubt

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's
National Climatic Data Center, and Kevin Trenberth,
head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National

Sumatra
illegal loggers slammed (BBC)
The Indonesian Environment
Minister has called illegal loggers "terrorists"
- after a flash flood on the island of Sumatra
killed at least 80 people. Another
100 people are missing after the disaster, which
is thought to have been made worse by extensive
logging removing cover that once retained rain.

the consequences of economic policies that leave
people with no other option than logging to

entire watersheds, enabling conditions for massive

Do
We Value Commonwealth? (Cape Cod Times)
"If you drop a frog in a

try to clamber out. But if you place it gently
in a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low,
it will float there quite placidly. As the water
gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a
tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in a hot
bath, and before long, with a smile on its face,
it will unresistingly allow itself to be boiled
to death." |

opened up for mining, drilling, logging and road

we massively change our behavior, and reduce

of sustaining the sort of lives that we know,
the sort of lives which are in any way decent

Even the repayment of debt, the pre-requisite
of capitalism, is mathematically possible only
in the short-term. As Heinrich Haussmann has shown,
a single pfennig invested at 5% compounded interest
in the year AD 0 would, by 1990, have reaped a
volume of gold 134bn times the weight of the planet.

Planet
of the Fakes, by George Monbiot (Guardian)
There are two planet
earths. One of them is the complex, morally challenging
world in which we live, threatened by ecological
collapse. The other is the one we see on the wildlife
programmes. |

Over
the Last 24 Months Hoped For Caspian Oil Bonanza
Has Vanished With Each New Well Drilled -- Global
Implications Are Frightening.
The "war which will not end in our lifetimes"
is proving itself to be a sequential war to
control the last remaining oil reserves on the
planet, especially those which have not yet
peaked. |

In
the Crocodile's Mouth, by George Monbiot (Guardian)
The world's oil reserves,
the depletion analysis centre claims, appear to
be declining almost as swiftly as the North Sea's.
Conventional oil supplies, it suggests, will peak
within five or ten years, and decline by around
two million barrels per day every year from then
on. |

Expert on Oil and the Oil Business Confirms
the Ever More Apparent Reality of the Post-9-11
World
FTW: What will be the likely
effects of hitting the downslope of production?
Campbell:
Big question. Simply stated: war, starvation,
economic recession, possibly even the extinction
of homo sapiens, insofar as the evolution of
life on earth has always been accomplished by
the extinction of over-adapted species (when
their environmental niche changed for geologic
or climatic reasons) leaving simpler forms to
continue, and eventually giving rise new more
adapted species. If Homo sapiens figures out
how to move back to simplicity, he will be the
first to do so. |
