Here’s Some “Food for Thought” on climate change and our energy future:

• If the earth typically goes through periods of warming and cooling, why should we be concerned about global warming now?
• Is the mainstream media paying enough attention to the impacts of climate change on poor countries?
• In view of the opposition by some countries, do targeted emissions reductions make sense? If not, what are the alternatives?
• What do you think about voluntary vs. regulatory approaches to combating carbon emissions?
• How realistic is it to lessen a global addiction to fossil fuels? Or, what needs to happen to lower our reliance on these energy sources?
• Europe is far ahead of the U.S. on supporting renewables. Will these differing approaches hurt the U.S. over the longer term, or not make any difference?
• Do you think that local and regional initiatives supporting clean energy will have a significant impact on national policies?
• Are populations in industrialized countries serious enough about adopting sustainable lifestyles? How “just” are such lifestyles in a global context?
