Metastable systems

I'll regurgitate my comment:

Good article, and it's a good start, but we have a long, long way to go to sustainability, and peak oil and a shift in geopolitical dominance from the US to China are going to complicate things further.

There is a strong likelihood that in some ways it's too late, that a century and a half of large-scale, world-wide anthropogenic change has already set things in motion that will take a century or more to arrest, let alone reverse.

I hope I'm wrong.


In completely unrelated news, I get my first Moleskine today: w00t!

Now all I need is that 17" MacBook Pro and, um, a job, and I'm set!
