"if geo-engineering studies focus too heavily on warming, critical risks associated with such possible "cures" will not be evaluated appropriately"
-
climate change is about much more than changes in temperature. So using temperature alone to monitor the effects of geo-engineering could be dangerous.
-
current climate models tend to underestimate the effects on precipitation of both greenhouse gases and of volcanic eruptions

Steady Doubling of Sales While Economy Suffers We have seen steady growth in INTK. In mid June INTK announced sales in June of 2009 were $100,552.85, more than double the revenues of June of 2008, a year when annual revenues were $1,424,036.00 US. Industrial Nanotech, Inc. intends to meet or exceed their uninterrupted five year track record of approximately doubling revenues every year. I want to put this in perspective. The economy is terrible. Sacred cow companies are losing ground. Utilities have always been super steady but they are having trouble --- and yet ---- INTK keeps on doubling sales year over year.

these underlying environmental factors that inevitably prompted societal collapse
-
societal collapse is often avoidable – a message that is painfully pertinent given the ecologically unsustainable nature of many modern societies
-
there are many reasons why societies make disastrous decisions, including a lack of foresight; poor governance that ensures people can get away with doing things that are in their personal interest but not in the interest of the society; a lack of flexibility that leaves societies that no longer work in a changing environment; and perhaps most importantly a refusal to acknowledge a problem even exists

Learning From Past Civilizations : TreeHugger - 0 views

our early twenty-first century civilization is not the first to face the prospect of environmentally induced economic decline. The question is how we will respond.
-
Today, our successes and problems flow from the extraordinary growth in the world economy over the last century.
-
While the economy is growing exponentially, the earth’s natural capacities, such as its ability to supply fresh water, forest products, and seafood, have not increased. Humanity’s collective demands first surpassed the earth’s regenerative capacity around 1980. Today, global demands on natural systems exceed their sustainable yield capacity by nearly 30 percent. We are meeting current demands by consuming the earth’s natural assets, setting the stage for decline and collapse.
