I tried listening to Blessed Unrest by Paul Hawken. It was disappointing. I couldn't even discern what the hell the point really was after several hours, so I stopped. I put Al Gore's book on, I'm in the middle of the first chapter. Al is a smart man, and most of what he says in the book so far rings true. In chapter one however, he talks about how fear inhibits reason. But, isn’t this kind of hypocritical? Whether you agree that evidence shows an anthropogenic climate crisis, isn’t it obvious he used fear tactics in his film on global warming?

I posed these questions in the CFI forum, hoping for good discussion. We'll see.

I also put a new link here. It's to a site called Impact, by a nuclear physicist that talks about all kinds of things that impact our planet as a whole. Very interesting stuff. He has written some of the content, but has offered for consumption so much more from other areas of the Internet. At first I thought it was a site of mostly dead links, abandoned. It just had that look about it. There was an email address, so I asked the guy if I could put it up and update it somewhere else. He emailed me back, and said he regularly updated the site, and I was welcome to mirror it. I didn't see a need since he was actively involved with it, and I told him so. The site promises to keep me busy for quite some time.....
