Interesting looking resource:
"The world has 50 months to go before the dice become loaded against us in terms of keeping under a 2C temperature rise. We asked Guardian readers and public figures what they would do to lead us out of this climate predicament. From mass protest to pensions to personal carbon targets, here are their suggestions "

I've read a couple, Rob Hopkins (
Transition Towns Project) is as always sane, balanced and serious. He's a hero - kind of like a Tim Berners-Lee in that he has quietly created a movement/model which can be adopted/adapted golobally. Wouldn't it be great if it caught on like the WWW.
"The question here is "what should we do differently?" The answer is: pretty much just about everything. Nationally and internationally, while the scale and pace of climate change are accelerating, meaningful responses are dwindling. Part of our collective paralysis comes from the fact that we struggle to imagine a world with less energy, less consumerism, less annual GDP growth. What will it look like, sound like, feel like? Does it inevitably mean that you should start seeking out your cave on Dartmoor as we speak, and developing a taste for slugs? Of course not."
