It's something I'm increasingly worried about recently.

Some articles I read recently:

http://www.monbiot.com/2011/05/05/our-crushing-dilemmas/ http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com/2011/05/downside-of-dependence.html

that seem to relate.

My basic worries:

  • An environmental crisis looks likely
  • Environmentalism is massively internally contradictory, generally doesn't understand numbers, and doesn't appear to offer any solutions.
  • We look likely to end up with the default "solution" of many people dying.
