First of his two part interview on the big picture. Click to listen now.

 Editor's note: Albert Bates' ongoing research and networking around the world have resulted in an optimistic message. He agrees there's no way that collapse of suburbia and business-as-usual can be avoided. But with ecovillages, permaculture, biochar and all manner of caring for the Earth, he knows we can do a lot better than to wait for the results of more fossil foolery and an attempted technofix to maintain the global corporate economy.

Editor's commentary: The above headline and first sentences of a recent report from CommodityOnline.com grab one's attention: "The world faces 'mass starvation' following North America's next major crop failure. And it could even happen before year's end."
World leaders and the corporate media don't appreciate the role of petroleum in food production and distribution. On top of that typical error in the report, several other contradictions make for a jaw-dropping reading experience. |

In Bolivia, ancient farming methods in the Amazon rainforest are being revisited. As Charles Mann demonstrated in his book 1491, the Amazon "jungle" was actually a managed food forest -- still there, although degraded. Terra preta, or biochar, worked for centuries and still has promise. The BBC reports that people are relearning to embrace the annual floods by using a centuries-old irrigation system for their crops. |

In this report we look at recent news on global warming, the positioning of denialists (the bad cop) and the more insidious "limited-measure-ists" (the good cop), and lastly the direct action approach. The news on global climate change does not get better, but patterns are emerging right now that may help us cut through the obstacles to acting forthrightly.

 Echoes In Time: A glimpse of the future?
Dale Coleman is a burly, bearded mountain man with buckskin shorts and a knife at his hip. His earlobes are pierced with spikes from a deer antler. Coleman, who prefers the moniker Blond Bear, could make it just fine in a peak oil situation. |
