If you want to go fast, walk alone. If you want to go far, go together.
Whilst, like you, I’ve read many a tale of imminent ecological collapse, impending disaster, and fervent fear mongering within the pages of some of our more dubious dailies, I could never say I’d been “shaken to [...] Read more »

This is a very long, but brilliantly well researched essay by Peter Salonius, taken from The Oil Drum.
