The Climate Change Challenge -- Can we turn the Titanic before it's too late?
Topic: Environmental, Emissions & Carbon Management Article Viewed 2935 Times;
27 comments We've seen the movie and we know the outcome. The unsinkable Titanic hits the iceberg and two-thirds of the ships passengers and crew were lost. What if the captain had ample warning of the danger that lay ahead? The history of that fateful event would be altered forever. Today the ship is much bigger -- what visionary designer Buckminster Fuller called Spaceship Earth with the rider that "we are all crewmembers, not just passengers."

No cure for a sick world?
Topic: Environmental, Emissions & Carbon Management Article Viewed 363 Times;
6 comments Ten years ago, the largest-ever gathering of world leaders met in Rio de Janeiro for the Earth Summit. They pledged to take better care of our planet; reducing pollution, protecting biodiversity and saving rainforests. In almost every category, any objective reporter would give
us a failing grade. Now the United Nations has convened the
Johannesburg Summit on Sustainable Development to assess our collective
progress. A headline virtually screamed, "World leaders say Earth is
sick, but fail to agree on a cure."
