Climate Change Recalculated

Saul Griffith is a very interesting speaker about the numbers behind climate change. What does our average consumption look like? Where could this energy come from? Is it industrially doable? Is it politically doable? What would need to happen next to avert a climate crisis?

Very interesting questions answered in a long-ish talk, but you can easily navigate to the various chapters of the video. I think Saul draws the right conclusion in saying the biggest contribution to a more sustainable future lies in the reduction of our endless consumption. Think "2,400 Watts per person per year"...



Thanks for Mike Frandsen for providing the link...
