The news just today has added excellent support material for the thesis that things are changing rapidly. Oil at record highs, Shell and BP profits down, the dollar at record lows against the Euro, and a dire warning from the UN Climate Program regarding the state of the earth's biosphere.
The need for a global transition to sustainable economy and lifestyle is not academic. It is not a novel economic theory with interesting possibilities. It is not a wish list for the worlds progressive movement, and it is not something that can be implemented in incremental steps to satisfy "bottom line preservation". We are no longer looking at the possibilities of climate change and resource scarcity through the window of a generational time line. Events have overtaken us, and we now stand face to face with mankind's greatest challenge, the outcome of which will determine the fate of our global civilization and thousands of species, including our own. And I mean to be a part of the solution.
