The Peak Oil Message—Overcoming Belief-System Barriers —
03 Jan 2013 —
Chris Martenson explains how we are surrounded by exponential curves that all point in the wrong direction.

For old-time peak oilers, what's new here is that Martenson discusses the psychological barriers that most people have to absorbing the information, and he offers framing techniques for overcoming the problem. He also discusses creative ways people can change their investment patterns to improve return and be more resilient at the same time.

Richard Heinberg: Life After Growth —
14 Jan 2014 —
Richard Heinberg says our energy policy has changed little since 1960—it was and is all about the fossil fuels. But in the relentless quest to increase the supply of diminishing resources, we are inexorably destroying the last remaining wild places on the planet and polluting every single part of the planet. He reviews the "Limits to Growth" trends, explaining why the data say we have been on a path of exponential growth that is now failing. In the future, we will find ourselves needing to live more locally, with less mobility—and sustainably. But we can be smart about it, if we step up to the challenge.

Peak Oil—Reframing the Sucky Collapse —
09 Jan 2013—
It's an odd thing—people are fascinated by predictions of spectacular societal collapse. But if you try to talk to them about the non-Hollywood, non-apocalyptic type of collapse—such as that associated with peak oil, unsustainable debt, and other norm-killing threats—they aren't interested or can't cope with the idea that an insidious resource problem will combine with a leadership problem to continually eat away at their prosperity until it's gone. "Peak shrink" Kathy McMahon discusses the psychology of collapse predictions and the reality of our ongoing "slow collapse."

More Floods—Climate-Driven? —
10 Jan 2013—
Is climate change causing increases in serious flood events? The evidence does not suggest that, says hydrologist Robert M. Hirsch. But it does clearly show that land-use issues like suburban sprawl, flood plain loss, and agricultural drainage exacerbate floods.

E-Waste—2.5 Million Tons/Year in the US Alone —
11 Jan 2013 —
With only one in ten cell phones being recycled—and cell phones are just one of the many categories of e-waste—discarded electronics are a serious problem. Old batteries and circuit boards cause water pollution, and valuable resources are not being recaptured. Why is our culture still so throw-away oriented?

Is Modern Wheat Making Us Sick? —
15 Jan 2013 —
Some sources say that wheat bread can spike blood sugar levels even more than consuming a candy bar. The argument is that today's wheat has been modified to a point where the body does not recognize it as something natural and so it goes into a fat-storing panic mode. Is this true? Are wheat alternatives like spelt better?
