illconsidered | July 8, 2010Many readers have likely noted the phrase "Logging the Onset of the Bottleneck Years" prefacing many editions of the "Another Week of Global Warming News" series.
A recent commenter asked what this means. I forwarded the question to het. I think his reply makes an interesting post.
The term 'bottleneck' refers to the ecological crisis humans are experiencing as resource limits, climate change, species extinction and environmental degradation, exacerbated by population pressure, make daily life more difficult for increasingly large numbers of people.
The term 'bottleneck' has been in the air…

Sandbag Central
(source: Boston.com)
When I see scenes like the 'sandbag central' Fargo stadium --- thousands of people shovelling sand, making and piling sandbags, fighting together for their city --- my heart swells. It is the community of shared adversity.
CBC-TV had a camera crew wandering around the stadium interviewing people and they zeroed in on one little blonde haired girl of 7 or 8 years. "Why are you doing this?" asked the interviewer. "For my city, for my family," said the little girl. But the thing…

My brother David lives 50 feet from the Red River north
of Winnipeg about half way between Lockport and the perimeter
highway. You may have heard about the flooding across
the river at St. Andrews. Below I have copied an email received
from him last night.

The Ecological Crunch and the Dyer Scale
When I saw the headline, "50 percent of all species disappearing"[2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] my first thought was of the Dyer scale. In his 2004 book, Future Tense, Gwynne Dyer defines a logarithmic scale of disasters in order to get a sense of proportion about terrorism. The idea can be applied more generally.Here is how he defines it:"If we are ever to get some sense of proportion back about terrorism, we…

Prospects for Change in Canadian Climate Policy
In short, the prospects are bleak and are likely to be driven from the United States. Let me explain.

The New AgeAn Argument for Geo-engineeringIf you study civilizations of the past which have collapsed [1, 2, 3, 4], a curious fact emerges. Look at Rome, Sumeria, the old kingdom of Egypt, the lowland classic Maya, the Olmec, the Huari Empire of the central Andes, the Chacoan and Hohokam of southwestern America, the Minoans, the Harrapans of the Indus valley, Easter Island. These cultures all had different religions, different economic…
