One could say that since The Club of Rome tried to wake us up in 1972 things have moved slowly, too slow; fine, but then speed is a result of acceleration.

With Hopenhagen on I would like to refer to a report that NEW SCIENTIST published more than a year ago: “How our economy is killing the Earth.”

The quintessence is to not reduce the impact discussion to headlines like “CO2″, “Global Warming”, “Climate Change” or “Copenhagen”. You will find the report
here (http://pierrejoris.com/blog/?p=653)
or just inhale the charts
here (http://efficiencymeetssustainability.blogspot.com/2009/12/dont-reduce-human-impact-to-global.html)

There is much, much more to sustainability than reducing GHGs; and for the sceptics: if a problem is man made, man can reverse it; if it is not man made, man ought to take the necessary precautions; common sense dictates that; it includes scepticism, but more so discussion, passion and the common sense that does see seven billion humans having an impact.
