About me:
Global warming, peak oil, resource depletion...After hearing the author of The Long Emergency, reading the best-seller "Collapse" by Jared Diamond, and gaining other insights, including from by Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth", my eyes have opened to the unprecedented (in the last 10,000 years) challenges that this century promises.
I have decided to use my skills as a high-end Web developer to create a place for sharing of knowledge and discussion, with the hope of increasing awareness of, and encouraging action related to, our converging crises of global warming, peak oil (energy shortages), and resource depletion.
Also looking for opportunities with well-funded non-profit to grow their following exponentially. David
