There seems that there are quite a few who have looked at the same issue as JK with very interesting insights. I find JK's writing is hilarious though. Have you ever heard of the Plan B series?:

Yes, I have PB 2.0 in my shelf. I like it in that it presents somewhat realistic plans for solving many large-scale environmental problems, at a quite modest cost, especially comparing the cost of "saving the world" with the mind-boggling amounts the world spends on weaponry is an eye-opener.

OTOH the message of the book is quite depressing; even though the book itself is quite positive you just have to open the telly and look at what our great leaders are saying to realize that very little or none of the proposals in the books will be taken seriously until it's too late.

I was lucky enough to stumbel across Lester Brown's site about the time PB 3.0 was releasing and you could - then - download a pdf copy. Does not seem to be the case now.

I thought a review/post was going to be done on this book here at TOD.

If a TOD contributor/editor needs the pdf for this purpose ONLY then please email me at ptoemmes at bellsouth dot net

Edit: Looks like you can still download it. About 3MB
