Subject: QLN: Interesting website
Here's a website which shows where all the environmental indicators are
going, in particular resource depletion: http://www.dieoff.com . It starts
with detailed timeline for the previous and next few decades. Very sobering
stuff. Is it unduly pessimistic? It seems to be well-documented.
It's also about philosophy, politics, discussion of what felled past
civilizations. The description of capitalism is brief and uncompromising.
I
find it all very profound. There's a bit on what motivates activists as
well. Food for thought as we debate globalization, y2k, sustainability...
Best wishes,
Terry
