Planning book to help save the world. Got ideas?

Lately, I was reading "Eaarth" by Bill McKibben, the founder of 350.org, and enjoyed it a lot. It accurately describes our predicament, as a society that has breached the safe limits of carbon in our atmosphere.

The Decade of Inertia

Obama was perhaps catapulted into power by nifty social media outreach and a moderately credible promise of change we can believe in.

Very Bad vs Downright Catastrophic Climate Change
