My Climate Change “Action Plan”

By Theresa • Nov 19th, 2009

Since it is becoming increasingly obvious that there will be no binding agreement in Copenhagen next month about how to achieve necessary greenhouse gas emission reductions, I thought I would propose my own binding climate change mitigation strategy. …



Resurfacing

We’ve had a run-in with the flu here (unusual for us), but everyone seems to be on the mend.
I’m still shaking my head at the hype about all this. So far this has got to be the mildest flu season as far as deaths in history (perhaps 4000 overall so far compared to the “normal” […]

Plan B 4.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization by Lester R. Brown
