Folks, consider this a reminder to positively rate these articles (using the icons under the tags in the story title) at reddit, digg, and del.icio.us if you are so inclined.  Also, don't forget to submit them to your favorite link farms, such as metafilter, stumbleupon, slashdot, fark, boingboing, furl, or any of the others.  

This article also illustrates some of the synergies between the environmental movement and the peak oil movement.  Please promote this article through the greensphere too.

These posts are a lot of work, and the authors appreciate your helping them get more readers for their work however you can.

In the reddit system you don't get a lot of blinkenlights and beeps to indicate what your rating was for an article.

Bottom line is, you have to click the little up-arrow, which changes to pink (hot) after you click it. If you click it again it will revert to grey and your positive rating is removed... (after reading the help page, duh, I find that articles I _thought_ I'd up-rated still had 0 points) So leave those little up-arrows in a pink state, please.

Slashdot rejected my submissions (and I thought I had a catchy writeup).

FWIW, Slashdot rejects almost everything (including a lot of really good stuff). However, when they do accept something, the increase in traffic is enormous. I have even see a Wikipedia entry on the "Slashdot Effect."

Hi,

My first post here. Sustainable Ballard is sponsoring the Elizabeth Kolbert event next week, here in Seattle. She is the author of the global warming book, Field Notes from a Catastrophe. I will note this diary and The Oil Drum as we table at the event and talk with attendees.

I've lurked now for about a year and have learned an enormous amount. Thank you :-) I followed Jerome a Paris over from his wonderful energy diaries at Daily Kos.


In addition to Kolbert, the panelists include:

    * Timothy Egan, moderator, winner of a Pulitzer Prize for journalism and author of five books, including The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl, a finalist for the National Book Award.

    * K.C. Golden, policy director for Climate Solutions, director of the Northwest Climate Connections network, and former energy policy director for the State of Washington.

    * Stephen Gardiner, University of Washington professor of philosophy, a specialist in ethics, environmental ethics, and political philosophy.
