Worldchanging: Bright Green: November 1941 and the Turning of the Tide
The war metaphor has been explore before but after hearing James Hansen speak the other night and mention that we are yet to find our Winston Churchill i thought it worth returning too. Steffen does a good job of framing the darkest hour of the battle against fascism.
I wonder (as James did) whether we need our Pearl Harbour though. Katrina wasn’t it unfortunately (though perhaps if it happened now under Obama’s watch it oculd have been) and i fear that if the analogy holds true the moment it occurs is the moment we re already too far down the track of locked in climate change. Enough pessimism! A hopeful and inspiring blog post at any rate!
