"The Bill"

Climate Change

I’ve written about the need we have on this small planet for convergence, including in this post, “Galloping Consumption,” from just about three years back now.  The following is a great little movie, succinctly illustrating the situation.  Thanks to Germanwatch for this and for all the excellent work that they do.

P.S.  Further to this, there is a characteristically arresting article at NGM this month by the unsinkable Betsy Kolbert:  Enter the Anthropocene—Age of Man.  The article includes this interactive graphic – The World of Seven Billion – Where and How We Live.
