This is a very interesting article that points out the connection between consumption, economic growth, environmental destruction and resource depletion.
I’m very excited about all the talk these days pertaining to the idea of contracting (de-growing) the economy and then reestablishing a steady state economy (no growth).
Most people don’t even know that a continuously expanding economy has only been around for the past seven generations. During the vast majority of the time…

The Global Carbon Project has released its Carbon Budget report for the year 2010 and it’s not good news. Here is one of their findings:
Continue“Fossil fuel CO2 emissions increased by 5.9% in 2010, with a total of 9.1±0.5 PgC emitted to the atmosphere (33.4 Pg of CO2; 1 Pg = 1 billion tons or 1000 x million tons).

I’m glad to see that science writers are starting to point out that so called renewable energy is not renewable after all.

I’m glad to see that NGO’s are placing an emphasis on the growing food crisis and the spread of famine due to a long list of issues that are not being dealt with at a serious level: climate change, over-fishing, ocean acidity, resources shortages (top soil, oil, phosphate, etc.), land grabs, Wall Street trading in food, food diverted to bio-fuel production, global water shortages, population growth and many other issues. Most people don’t have a clue about the level of this growing crisis. …
