(via DemocracyNow) A new study by the League of Conservation Voters found that the five major Sunday morning political shows asked the presidential candidates well over 2,000 two thousand seventy questions in 2007. Just three of the questions mentioned global warming. Another 22 questions were related to global warming. The League of Conservation Voters has launched a website around this.

Via my father I came across this anonymously authored modern day parable, which I think is a good analogue for the economic growth vs sustainability argument: An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied "only a little while". The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish. The Mexican said he had…

"After eleven days of negotiations, governments have come up with a compromise deal that could ... even lead to emission increases. ... The highly compromised political deal ... is largely attributable to the position of the United States which was heavily influenced by fossil fuel and automobile industry interests. The failure to reach agreement led to the talks spilling over into an all night session ..." This is a quote from a George Monbiot article for the Guardian. Is he talking about Bali? No, this was a Friends of the Earth Press release from 1997. These are extracts from a press…
