Talking About Green

[As many of you know John Holdren is Obama’s new national science advisor. This recent talk he gave at the Wild Center is very sober viewing, but I think it emphasizes the urgency of which we must address climate change. Many people still are under the delusion that climate change is a future problem and it can be solved in the same way we addressed acid rain, or CFCs, with little pain or discomfort to ourselves. As John Holdren emphasizes we are facing a future of massive climatic disruption TODAY. To even slow down the rate of climate, which at this point in time is accelerating, will require significant structural and societal changes. –BSA]
