It is based on what happened at Hvalsey, the colony in the south-west of Greenland, extinguished by climate change in the fifteenth century.

That's why blogging about it is hard. We tend to focus on little issues, here and there. Like Climategate. We fail to set these in the wider context of the environment as a whole, or the carbon cycle as a whole.

How does a piece of local beef compare with some beans air-freighted from Africa? Or a plastic toy from China with the fuel you used to drive to the supermarket? In this blog Peter Sain ley Berry suggests a labelling system that could be applied voluntarily to all products to show their inherent carbon equivalent loads. Greenhouse Gases 2009-11-05T11:55:10+00:00 http://climatechange.thinkaboutit.eu/think2/post/cut_the_cheap_meat_at_copenhagen/ http://climatechange.thinkaboutit.eu/think2/post/cut_the_cheap_meat_at_copenhagen/#When:09:48:57Z The contribution that livestock make to Greenhouse Gas emissions has been significantly underestimated say authors Goodland and Anhang. Reducing the consumption of meat and dairy products offers a way of combating climate change with relatively little impact on energy consumption.

South Wales. Here is a film of the interview and a little bit about the 350.org event during which it took place and the location - the old medieval castle home of Randolph Hearst.

The person chosen as President of the European Council needs to be someone with the global reach to bring the leaders of China, India and the United States to agreement. Tony Blair has the best qualifications for this job and should be supported.

Is this likely to be value for money when the need is for investment in sustainable energy?

Are windmills an answer? Or is it better to switch to a green energy supplier? Alternative Energies 2009-10-01T09:48:08+00:00
