http://westcoastclimateequity.org Climate science and climate change information - West Coast Climate Equity is dedicated to providing facts about the causes of climate change and the evidence for global warming. We report the latest climate science news, information, research and studies to educate about the true impact of dangerous climate change on our world.

After a century of profligate use of this energy-dense resource, he contends that we are within a decade of experiencing an oil shortage: for transportation, industry, heating, plastics, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals and all the countless products essential to our modern lives. In other words, our energy-devouring civilization has been accelerating entropy.

We need an energy plan that adds up. It is not going to be easy, but it is possible.

Eliminate them quickly and entirely. To do so we will need to push back against those forces which obstruct or delay the green economy whether those forces be foot-dragging politicians, Exxon muddying the science or “environmentalists” opposing wind farms. To be successful at pointing the way forward, we will need to vigorously support companies and governments doing the right thing even in halting and partial steps.
