Part Two: Climate change is just a symptom of a wider problem: the era of cheap fossil energy.

The Illusion of Safety

posted by Bill Sharon on December 21, 2009

There is an assumption that one of the fundamental purposes of government is to provide for the safety of its citizens. One could argue that Americans enjoy that safety. There have been no terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11 and the crime rates in most cities have been declining for years. Although the world seems to be as uncertain a place as we have ever known in this generation we all operate as though we can get through our lives relatively unscathed. Yet we have more people in prison than any other country in the world and we manage to shoot and kill each other at rates that dwarf those in any other developed nation. Safety, it would seem, depends on your perspective.

We live in a world where the means of exchange (money) has become vastly more important than what we exchange (goods and services). We have moved from a time when money or profit was one of several metrics by which a company could be judged to the only metric and more recently in many cases, to becoming the product of a company – buy our stock because we make money. How did we get here?

TLC needed for TGE! Come to Ecotopia to discuss ...

posted by Tony Manwaring on November 8, 2009

Tomorrow's Green Economy requires a revolution in energy efficiency and energy infrastructure - so I was taken by Deutsche Bank's upcoming analysis that it is TLC that is a pre-condition for this revolution: transparency, longevity and certainty in policy regimes to enable capital to be invested with certainty, and at scale, reported in today's Observer. Come to our Tomorrow's Company event with Cineforum on 4th December, 'Climate Change: the Road to Ecotopia' - where with wonderful speakers and audience we will be exploring these issues and many more in great depth. An event where TLC in many and myriad ways will be alive and well in Central London!
