At this point, the former for the two is clearly still in place, but it appears I may have been at least partially incorrect about the latter. Check out this article on how Norway is leveraging technology from the traditional energy field into renewables. Impressive.
Here’s a wonderful article on the history of climate change mitigation from the standpoint of science and politics. How were we successful in putting a spear through the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) two decades ago, where we seem to be losing the battle to limit greenhouse gas emissions today? We seem to be doing fairly well at assembling agreements to act, but why is it so difficult to translate these into actual action? (more…)
