A world looks ahead to a world that will look behind to try to mitigate the decisions that we make today

Peak oil is a public discussion that lacks clarity, the economist gives a short explanation of the economics of oil reserves.

To advance our "sustainable" economy we need hardworking, educated, intelligent people and in the USA we have the institutionally and educationally laziest kids in the developed world.

The "Green Economy" is looking better than other types of job sectors in this recession. I could not find a deffinition for "green jobs" in this article, maybe you can find it.

Water, another resource that we abuse. The positive feedback loops for our resource use is picking up speed and people are beginning to feel the effects of the overuse of water.

Indigenous tribes are usually the recipients of the negative effects of resource exploration and Peru is receiving the current round of indigenous-energy-exploration drama.

Bjorn Lomborg is a climate change skeptic that still cares about humans and the environment, and while sometimes I disagree with him sometimes this article is a great piece on the climate change exaggeration that prevents intelligent public debate.

The US is drafting its first climate change bill and it is not even close to ideal, but it is at least doing something.
