I was interested to read your blog. 20 years ago I had a book published on different economic concepts to point the way to a sustainable world economy. Someone who liked the book recently contacted me to suggest that I update and re-publish it as a blog. She set up the blog, and the book is now complete on the blog in a series of postings. In addition there is now a piece on Global Warming. Here is the link:

With all good wishes,

I too was interested to read your blog. The new administration will finally take a leadership role in addressing this critical issue after what has been almost a decade of denial. It is good to see some lively discussion going on. People like Charles Pierce and I have taken time to write to alert others. www.strategicbookpublishing.com/ZEROGreenhouseEmissions.html
We now need every mother and father whose children we have put in harms way, to be the parade of concern that our Global Politicians will wish to walk in front of.
