		<description>Has anyone read Tim Flannery's piece in Quarterly Essay - highly recommended. Says similar things but without the red-wine style semi-hysteria of the above (not that I don't agree with this person but ...). re the Flannery article, I question his view that we can't just get rid of coal, that it's gone too far. Shouldn't we at least plan migration to renewables using the infrastructure? What do others think?

Another question for y'all ... we've done the barracking for Barak (what to make of his Bob the Builder YES WE CAN ??) and change is closer ... but how to keep carbon neutrality top of mind when people are worried about getting food on the table? Can we stop understanding green as a top shelf option? Energy efficiency and refusal to consume gratuitously are not costly are they? Given a long term view. Interest free loans with the energy saved on the new equipment going to payments would be a good start.

Okay - I'm out of steam. So here's a quote from a 12 year old looking over my shoulder: 'Carbon neutrality would have been a simple task if we all hadn't become so dependent on our society to do it for us while we just waste without bothering to remember that carbon neutrality will never be completed if you dont bother about whats going on in your home.'

There's hope growing up around us. See you in Geothermia ...</description>
