I started this blog when I realized that the economy we have won't work if we hope to live sustainability in this biosphere. I was disturbed that nobody was reporting on the climate change effects that I was seeing. It was the bark beetle that did it. Years later and the effects are huge! Why aren't people urging action out of fear for their lives? I'm mystified.

Well into the show the discussion turns to a sucky collapse. This is what is happening I believe... and I don't think we'll have a Lucifer's Hammer type collapse until governments stop being able to help us. Think Sandy, Katrina, Haiti, Japan.
