For those who don't know Monbiot: he writes for the Guardian in the UK, and publishes the articles on his site. Monbiot writes on many issues, the environment is one of his strong points, but by no means the only one. He is an excellent researcher who time and again manages to come up with sources that others 'ignore'.

On this Sunday, here are some articles he published this month. They cover a broad range: micro-generation, decreasing water supplies, war protesters, carbon offsets, and halting climate change. The material, the content, as well as Monbiot's unique and outspoken views make him highly relevant for everyone at TOD.

Hence this somewhat unusual angle: a TOD post written about what Monbiot writes (even better, in one article, he writes about what Fred Pearce writes). It's hard to summarize his articles, since they are truly 'information-dense', so reading the originals is recommended.
