Whenever I read something about global warming, I can't help but think our situation is more dire than people let on. I'm not sure if it's that the endgame is so unsettling people can't confront it, or if there are other reasons for our blue sky analysis.<p>I don't think we can "innovate" our way out of this hole. We can't stand around waiting for a silver bullet. Peoples' lifestyles will need to change <i>dramatically</i>. We can't keep consuming power the way we are now.
