Greenhouse gases mean we need a new economy

The Tyndale centre says we have 4 years to cut co2 by 60%, the permafrost is melting releasing tons of methane (a much more potent climate change chemical than co2).

No doubt by putting up solar panels we can have a real effect, environmental problems such as the greenhouse effect show that the economy cannot grow for ever.

I live in Berkshire, down the road is the Ascot race course, rebuilt, reopened...it is trying to get more people to come to the races, consuming more resources...in our economy if we sell more stuff we obviously prosper....we need to move to an economy where we share more, where we have libraries for all sorts of things, where goods last longer, where repairing goods makes sense.

Constantly increasing GDP can be based on cleaner technology but lets get our prosperity without throwing away more and more and rushing around in ever faster circles.
