Heat

Some great quotes from George Monbiot, the author of Heat: How to stop the planet from burning.
"at the moment, the entire global economy seems to be built on the model of digging things up from one hole in the ground on one side of the earth, transporting them around the world, using them for a few days, and sticking them in a hole in the ground on the other side of the world"
 “Progress is measured by the speed at which we destroy the conditions that sustain life.”
“Deregulation is a transfer of power from the trodden to the treading. It is unsurprising that all conservative parties claim to hate big government.” 
 We are no longer discussing whether or not climate change is real but rather how real it is. We are going to have to make significant changes but it doesn't have to be a negative thing. However, the pink elephant in the room has to be addressed; population growth. Likewise, our economic system is under all criticism. We are a very clever species making some very stupid decisions...
Climate Change involves Human Rights as well....
