I ditched the article after the writer failed to understand the rationale behind the naming of the common scientific behavior known as "positive feedback." Clearly alarmist BS.
I missed that on my first read-through. Yes, that's truly terrible.
But if you stopped after that you missed the bit about how great life was in Britain in the period 1938-1944, when we apparently were using less resources, but were happier, and how we need to get that feeling back.
update: Also, the article promises that if you want more then there's information available on their website. Unfortunately I can't find anything on their website except two copies of an enormous counter (yup, still 100) and an invitation to spam your friends with their monthly newsletter. Can anyone find it?
and it's pretty useless. Lots of talk of parts-per-million, but absolutely no justification of the most important danger-world-in-crisis idea: that there will be a tipping point beyond which change is "irreversible".
In summary, I suggest ignoring this article, and the people who wrote it, entirely.
He's referring to government rationing and fold-up houses while being bombed by the Axis forces? Yea, people were just loving life back then. I wonder what England's energy expenditures were to drive the military.
