Climate
Change Threatens the Future of Humanity, But
We Refuse to Respond Rationally - Interview
with George Monbiot by Amy Goodman (Democracy
Now!)
We’ve got to
get this in our heads, because unless we do,
we are doomed. We have to recognize that unless
we massively change our behavior, and reduce
our consumption of energy to 10 or 20 percent
of what it is at present, then there is no possibility
of sustaining the sort of lives that we know,
the sort of lives which are in any way decent
lives, beyond the next thirty or forty years. |

Deliver
Us From Finity. Capitalism Is Not Even Mathematically
Possible, Let Along Biologically Viable (Guardian)
- We will pay the price
for believing the world has infinite resources.
-
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.

within five or ten years, and decline by around
two million barrels per day every year from then
on. |
