A conversation with Laura Ortiz Montemayor, Chief Purpose Officer and co-founder of SVX Mexico, and managing partner at Regenera Ventures Fund, covering the global nature of regeneration exploring what has been happening in Mexico and the rest of the Spanish-speaking countries in LATAM. They hold the key to many of our biodiversity challenges, and many tropical or subtropical commodities are farmed there. What has Laura learnt since the last time we spoke three years ago? Why did she decide to start a $20 million fund focused on rural Mexico and the regenerative transition?Inspired by thinkers like John Fullerton and Carol Sanford, Laura champions soil health and living systems thinking, reframing biodiversity as a critical asset rather than a charity case and critiques profit-driven economic models that overlook natural and social resources, advocating for a shift towards valuing ecosystems' inherent richness. Highlighting Latin America's role in climate resilience, we discuss indigenous wisdom, regional nuances, and innovative finance strategies blending social justice with ecology. As plans emerge for a second fund in Mexico and Colombia, Laura calls for bold investment in nature-based solutions to rejuvenate food systems and biodiversity.---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/laura-ortiz-montemayor.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

(Conversation recorded on October 10th, 2024)    Our modern economic system is designed to maximize financial capital, viewing money as though it were wealth itself. But what would happen if we viewed wealth more holistically, taking into account our natural, social, cultural, and human capital, too?   In this conversation, Nate is joined by unconventional economist John Fullerton to discuss the principles of regenerative economics and the need for shifts in our economic paradigms from reductionist thinking to holistic thinking. Fullerton emphasizes the importance of understanding economies as living systems, advocating for financial and monetary systems that align with the patterns of life.  If regenerative economics represents a societal shift towards sustainability, how does our modern financial system act as a barrier to that shift? If the ‘myth of separation' contributes to our current economic problems, what types of radical change are needed to reconcile our values dissonance as our crises deepen and accelerate? Finally, how can we teach ourselves to differentiate between the real economy and the financial economy – and to value the things that genuinely add to human and planetary well-being?   About John Fullerton:  John Fullerton is an unconventional economist, impact investor, writer, and some have said philosopher. Building on and integrating the work of many in the field of ecological economics, he is the architect of Regenerative Economics, first conceived in his 2015 booklet, “Regenerative Capitalism: How Universal Patterns and Principles Will Shape the New Economy.” After a successful 20-year career on Wall Street where he was a Managing Director of what he calls “the old JPMorgan,” John listened to a persistent inner voice and walked away in 2001 with no plan but many questions. He went on to create The Capital Institute in 2010, which is dedicated to the bold reimagination of economics and finance in service to life. John is also the Chairman of New Day Enterprises, PBC, the co-founder of Grasslands, LLC, and a board member of both the Savory Institute and Stone Acres Farm.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   ---   Support The Institute for the Study of Energy and Our Future Join our Substack newsletter Join our Discord channel and connect with other listeners

In our sixth episode, Charly Kleissner shares his investment philosophy, which he calls “deep impact investing”. Charly came into wealth as a technologist building several very successful companies in Silicon Valley. He developed the basis for what later became Apple's OS with Steve Jobs at Next, but considers the B2B eCommerce company Ariba his masterpiece. Since selling his Ariba stock, Charly has devoted himself to impact investing to give meaning to his wealth. He co-founded Toniic, a network for likeminded impact investors, to share knowledge and deal flow. Under the umbrella of Toniic, he also launched the 100% Network, a group of more than 160 asset owners committed to investing all their wealth towards positive impact. With portfolio sizes ranging from more than 1 million to more than 500 million, they have jointly committed 6 billion USD, with more than half currently deployed. Some of these portfolios are the basis for the T100 project, a longitudinal study of investments fully oriented towards impact. We discuss the role of research to analyze risk-return-impact profiles. Charly reflects on his role shaping the impact investing ecosystem and shares his thinking around systemic change as opposed to incremental progress. He also shares why he is opposed to cryptocurrency speculation but believes blockchain technology and tokenization hold promise for the future of impact investing. Links Charly co-founded the Toniic network, a global community of asset owners seeking deeper positive net impact through their investments. The 100% Network is a subgroup of members committed to direct all their investable wealth towards impact. Otto Scharmer's book Theory U influenced Charly's approach to building trust in networks. Toniic has initiated the T100 Project, a longitudinal study of investment portfolios 100% activated towards deeper positive net impact in every asset class. In addition to producing practitioner reports, it works with the Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth (CSP) under the leadership of Dr. Falko Paetzold to publish academic research. Arne Naess' work around deep ecology (a term coined in a 1973 article) led Charly to come up with the concept of “deep impact”. To analyze whether investments are systemic in nature, Charly points to John Fullerton's principles of a regenerative economy and Kate Raworth's Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries. Charly recently wrote his personal reflections and call to action on Humanity and Impact Investing at the Crossroad.   Timestamps On some podcast players, you should be able to jump to the section by clicking: (01:57) – Charly's background and motivation for impact investing (07:12) – The process for sourcing an impact investment (07:26) – The Toniic network (09:01) – The investors aligning 100 % of their portfolio towards impact (11:28) – How to establish trust in networks (15:48) – Research on the impact-risk-return correlation and the aspiration to develop a post modern portfolio theory (19:41) The value of data vs. the value of insights (22:32) The ESG movement (27:25) System change (28:45) Social impact bonds (32:34) The need for public-private collaboration to make progress on the SDGs (37:30) Blended capital to finance social entrepreneurship (42:49) On market rate returns as a benchmark (48:51) Tokenization (01:00:17) Consciousness and deep impact   Contact For feedback on the show, or to suggest guests for future episodes, contact us at scifi@esmt.org

The climate pact achieved at COP26 was woefully inadequate. We could be in for over four degrees Fahrenheit of warming this century over pre-industrial temperatures, and some scenarios would put us closer to eight degrees. In this episode, Paul Sutton shares his observations from Glasgow, and we get assessments from a few other noted experts. Policymakers are not willing to embrace any climate actions that give up economic growth, but economic growth virtually guarantees climate disaster. The bottom line: only drastic policy and behavior changes will avoid a very bleak future. Sutton is a Professor in the Department of Geography & the Environment at the University of Denver.

Cecilia is the Sustainability Strategy Director at Electrolux in Sweden. Her role includes supporting the continued development of the company's sustainability strategy. She is responsible for implementing the strategy in the various Electrolux organizations, including defining ways of working and establishing relationships. Cecilia is also responsible for governance development and coordination, coordinating development of KPIs and other activities, as well as continuous improvement, assessment and development of the scope of the sustainability framework. Cecilia Joins Sustainable Nation To Discuss: Empowering customers to lead better and more sustainable lives through offering the right products Integrating a sustainability strategy to the point it becomes the strategy Electrolux's approach to circular design: closing the loop in materials, product as a service Electrolux's climate-neutral value chain goal The 50 Liter home Advice and recommendations for sustainability leaders Cecilia's Final Five Question Responses What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? For a younger person, I would say that an important thing is not to lock on having a career in sustainability, but really to decide what field you want to be active in. Get a good degree in the field that you're interested in and then combine it with sustainability. I think the era of sustainability generalists might be coming to an end. I think the future will need more really good experts in the different fields. We need good industrial engineers to set super energy efficient operations. We need great designers to design products for refurbishment and recycling and for this new circular society we're working in. We need financial experts to work on sustainable finance. Make that combination; that will give you a faster career and I think stronger results in your work. For a person that's sort of come a little further in their career, I think be really true to the materiality analysis that you've done in your company. Even if things are hard or seem hard to solve or will take a long time. There is no way around really focusing on what makes most sense and what is needed to be addressed from a sustainability perspective. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? After 25 years in this business, I'm really excited; it really seems to be crunch time right now. I see it in my own company. We were the geeks, trying to knock on doors and bring our message to everyone. But now everyone's talking sustainability and we're struggling to keep up with everything with all the activities that are going on and all the interest. I hear the same things from my friends working in sustainability and from other companies. I see it in the news, I hear from my neighbors, and in policymaking. Above all I see it in the financial world, which is the real game changer. Just take an example: Electrolux this year is renewing its long-term incentive program. For the first time, the top two, three hundred managers and key people within Electrolux will be incentivized based on our SBT roadmap. There will not be a full long-term incentive payout for our top management unless we fulfill our science-based targets. That will be a game changer. What is one book you would recommend sustainability professionals read? I'm reading two books in parallel. Right now we're realizing that we won't just have to change our products and tweak our business. We're going to have to rethink our whole society. There is a book by Kate Raworth called Doughnut Economics, and another book called A Finer Future by among others Hunter Lovens and Stuart Wallace and John Fullerton. They're both talking about a new economic concept: the way we value materials, the way we value work. We will have to make new economic models, we'll have to rethink our business models and how we calculate investments. We'll have to redo it all. I think these two books give me a lot of happy thoughts that actually it's going to be possible before we run out of time. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work? By now you've understood that I I'm a stickler for science, so I tend to go to the sources. We have a lot of good resources in Scandinavia; Stockholm Environments Institute, Stockholm International Water Institutes, the Stockholm Resilience Center. They publish a lot of stuff that is really good and front edge thinking. I read a lot of IPPC stuff, WWF stuff and from the Potsdam Institute as well. The other is creativity and turning it into what fits your business, but you really have to stick with the science. Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work being done at Electrolux? You'll just have to go to our webpage www.electroluxgroup.com/sustainability. We'll be launching a new sustainability report in just a few weeks covering the 2020 work that we've done, so look out for that. For the Better Living Program: www.betterlivingprogram.com.

John Fullerton is the founder and president of Capital Institute, a collaborative working to illuminate how our economy and financial system can operate to promote a more just, regenerative, and thus sustainable way of living on this earth. He is the author of “Regenerative Capitalism: How Universal Principles and Patterns Will Shape the New Economy.” Through the work of Capital Institute, regular public speaking engagements, and university lectures, John has become a recognized thought leader, exploring the future of Capitalism.

Hunter Lovins has been a highly influential figure for many decades in the regenerative economies movement. She is another guest that I struggle to describe in a brief intro. To give you a little idea, she's a best-selling author, including of the seminal Natural Capitalism, with Paul Hawken and Amory Lovins. She's also founder and President of Natural Capitalism Solutions, founding Professor of Sustainable Management at the Bard MBA, a pioneering rancher, and Chief of Impact at Change Finance. Hunter consults for companies and countries around the world, has been named Millennium TIME Magazine Hero of the Planet, and was awarded the 2008 Sustainability Pioneer Prize by the European financial community for her decades of pioneering work. I could go on. Oh, she also recently took out the Humungous Fungus Award – and we will talk about that! I heard Hunter say not long ago, before the pandemic, that her research suggests the regenerative economy is already bigger than the extractive one in her home state of Colorado. But that nobody knows! So I asked Hunter if she'd join me to talk about it, along with how things are changing right now, and of course some of her brilliant life story. Like my other extensive conversations with legendary figures in this space, like Hazel Henderson and Paul Hawken, this one drifted into ever more meaningful and heart felt exchanges as we went. I hope you enjoy this journey through Hunter's life, these transforming times, and where we can go from here. Our conversation includes why she ditched being a lawyer and accidentally became a regenerative rancher, her retrospective view on change and approaches to it over the decades (spoiler alert – where were the stories?), and the growing number of calls she's receiving asking how to build a regenerative economy out of the COVID collapse. So much of her thinking, she says, has changed in just the last couple of months - from what's needed to transition towards renewable energy, regenerative agriculture, and the finance to back it in, to how she goes about her own life and work. Hunter's is a trans-partisan vision where we're all in for societies that are better for people and planet – genuine prosperity. She's helped set up so much of the world's work to this end – including more recently the Wellbeing Economy Alliance and the Regenerative Communities Network. Dana Meadows' famous leverage points piece – Places to Intervene in a System – was seeded on Hunter's whiteboard. This prompts a moving conclusion to our conversation reflecting on some of Dana's profound insight. We're up against it, but we can still make something good of this situation, Hunter believes. Tectonic shifts are upon us. So where and how do we go from here? This episode was recorded online on 7 May 2020.

And she's decidedly positive about it, pointing out that projections of the future too often exclude the understanding that people constitute the systems and stories we live by. We are the systems. And we have the ability to transform ourselves (read, not others) – deliberately, consciously, deeply. And in everyday life, wherever we are. Karen wrote an article a few years ago titled ‘Is it time for a quantum leap?', on the emerging field of quantum social theory. And she sees her work on the ground with cCHANGE and cCHALLENGE bearing out the potential for just that. So how does conscious social transformation happen? How do we engage the highest leverage points? How do we take care of each other in the process? And can this really enable us to achieve the 1.5 degree Paris Agreement target?

Welcome to episode 35 of this podcast, the first since we changed name from Rescope Radio to The RegenNarration. We're launching with this special conversation featuring Stephen Jenkinson, an internationally distinguished culture activist, teacher, ceremonialist, author and farmer. He's currently touring with his new book 'Come of Age: The Case for Elderhood in a Time of Trouble'. Eldership is such a vital part of human life – of human cultures – and lost to our peril. It's been a recurring theme on this podcast, since the very first episode with John Fullerton. 'Come of Age' is said to make the case that we must birth a new generation of elders, one poised and willing to be true stewards of the planet and its species. Stephen shares a range of beautiful and powerfully eloquent insights here, on what this might mean for both the older folk among us, and the young. Where do we find wisdom, a joy that isn't sought as distraction, and an embrace of limits as inherent to our humanness? The conversation explores a number of particularly moving encounters in Stephen's life, and what they taught him about such ‘humanness', particularly in the context of artificial intelligence, death-defying potions, and anxiety and despair about the world and what we're doing in it. It all culminates with an extended music production from the last time Stephen was in Australia. Joining Anthony online from his farm in the Ottawa Valley, with the river ice thawing, here's Stephen Jenkinson. Music: Mother Canoe, by Stephen Jenkinson & Gregory Hoskins, from the Nights of Grief & Mystery album The acoustic tune accompanying this episode is by Jeremiah Johnson Get more: https://orphanwisdom.com/events/ - features more on Stephen, including the full range of upcoming events, starting Friday 26 April 2019 at The School of Life in Melbourne.

We've been on the road for a bit, speaking to people around the country on our way to and from the National New Economy Conference in Brisbane recently. We're looking forward to sharing many of those conversations with you here, starting with this one. Robert Costanza is one of the world's most accomplished and decorated systems thinkers & ‘ecological economists'. Having moved to Australia five years ago, he's now a Professor and Vice Chancellor's Chair at the Australian National University's Crawford School of Public Policy. So it was great to have an opportunity to meet Bob in person and hear some of his fascinating story, recent work, sense of hope, and what he thinks we still need to do to set ourselves towards a sustainable and desirable future. Bob has an extraordinary back-story, list of credentials, and the company he has kept over the years reads like a who's who of the systems thinking and ecological economics fields. This is a guy who has given his all to this work over several decades. And when Anthony spoke with the first guest on this podcast, former Wall Street executive John Fullerton, Bob was the first name he mentioned when talking about the work being done in Australia to regenerate the systems and stories we live by. This is a powerfully concise explainer of where our economy and related systems and cultural narratives need to go – along with the why and how. We spoke about public surveys that consistently affirm most people would prefer to live in sustainable and equitable societies, as well as genuine progress indicators that show the last ‘genuine progress' in countries like Australia occurred decades ago. We also talk about the Sustainable Development Goals, the need for more systems-based education, and to recreate language as we ultimately develop a more inter-connected and holistic worldview. Putting on a fine cup of tea at his ANU office in Canberra, here's Bob Costanza.

Meet Trevor Meier, award-winning documentary film-maker, photographer, and story-teller. His latest film, ‘A New Economy', has been a popular feature on the global festival circuit, including nationally in Australia as part of the Transitions Film Festival. It's a terrific documentary - much-needed, beautifully produced, and featuring a range of insightful people and projects to fire our imaginations, open our view of the world, and sure up our courage to experiment with new ways of doing things. As Trevor explains, this isn't a movie about the economic crisis we're in – it's about going beyond the crisis. It's about what comes next, or perhaps better said, what is currently coming next. Our first guest on this podcast, Capital Institute founder John Fullerton, features in the film. And like John, Trevor has observed hundreds of projects happening on the ground to build a new economy – they considered 600 for this film alone! His observations of these projects, and of the influential people featured in the movie, are as insightful as his films. He reserves particular mention for John Fullerton, which echoes the reasons we were so pleased to launch the podcast with him. But it's his comment on his biggest regret of the film that is just as important in this light, raising probing insights into the nature of diversity and power in this space. He also talks tellingly about the sense of privilege he feels, and accompanying responsibility, to do what he does with his contribution to the world. And tellingly, again echoing John Fullerton, he talks of the liberating nature of living in this way, with this purpose, this sense of being alive, and connecting with the best of what makes us human – notwithstanding, or even because of, the challenges involved. “I don't see it as a fight”, he says, “I see it as life, this process of creation.” Music is central to ‘A New Economy', and to Trevor's background, and in many ways his choice of music to end the podcast, and how he describes what it means to him, says everything you need to know about him, and the potential of the new economy we might create together. Speaking with Trevor affirms a sense of possibility in the world, one grounded in the reality we might not commonly see unfolding on daily media, but we can see it in his films, and hear it in this conversation. Trevor joins Anthony online from his home in Vancouver.

Welcome to our first episode, featuring an extensive, personal and inspiring conversation between host Anthony James and John Fullerton, the former Wall Street executive who became the founding President of The Capital Institute, a non-profit organisation working to change our 'broken' economic and financial systems. John's a former Managing Director of 'the old' JP Morgan, as he puts it, and now founding President of the Capital Institute, a non-profit organisation in the US dedicated to bringing about new, regenerative economic and financial systems. Given these systems are fundamental to the civilisational crisis we find ourselves in, and therefore how we need to deal with it, this is vital work, and a revealing conversation. John's work draws deeply on systems thinking, a broad range of other contemporary and ancient schools of thought, and a range of ‘real world' case studies, impact investing and other experiments on the ground.

When the UN's climate chief told a meeting of coal executives this month that most of the world's coal reserves will have to stay in the ground if we want to perpetuate life on the planet, we should have heard a shudder on Wall St. But we didn't. Investors keep on trading in fossil fuel as if there‘s no tomorrow but there will be for carbon, if the governments of world ever get serious about capping emissions. It may not have happened at this month's stymied climate talks in Warsaw, but when they walked out of those talks, civil society groups pledged to get a whole lot less civil, and sooner or later governments are going to be forced to pass new regulations. The world is simply running out of the amount of greenhouse gas we can emit before we warm the climate beyond the point of no return. We may well be there already. The same UN Climate Chief who polarized with activists, was pretty plain spoken with the coal companies. Christiana Figueres urged the energy execs to “honestly assess the financial risks of business as usual.” Not morality, not weather, not refugees or wars, Figueres was talking about finances here, because if you're a coal company your finances are tied up those fossil fuel reserves. They're the core asset on your balance sheet, but only if you can burn them. If you have to leave what Figueres says needs to be about 75 percent of that coal in the ground to prevent the world from overheating that means lopping that same amount off the value of your company. Al Gore got grief when he wrote about this in the Wall Street Journal. He's not an economist the critics said. Figueres isn't a banker either, but on GRITtv, on the eve of the UN's climate talks, we talked to a man who is. John Fullerton began his career as an oil and gas banker before rising to manage global capital markets at JP Morgan. If we're serious about not trashing the planet, energy companies need to agree to take a write-off of $20 trillion dollars, said Fullerton. That makes the $2 trillion sub-prime mortgage melt-down seem trivial. World markets went into a near global depression when a whole lot of mortgage backed derivatives turned out to be junk. Imagine what will happen to pension funds when BP and Exxon stocks shrink by three quarters. The only way out is a massive shift by companies, governments and investors. We're facing what Fullerton calls a "big choice" between a climate catastrophe or a financial one. What's needed, said Figueres, is a “deep, deep transformation”. Do you think we should leave that in the hands of the same people who've failed to take action so far? It's just another reason not to let our governments continue to be led around by corporations. Those civil society groups better be very serious about becoming less civil. You can find a teaser of my conversation with Fullerton on YouTube.

John Seager is the President of Population Connection, formerly Zero Population Growth. Since its founding in 1968, Population Connection has been America's largest grassroots organization dedicated to the question of overpopulation. Prior to his work at Population Connection, John worked for the EPA and in congressional politics. Population has been a regular theme in The Conversation but has not been well developed in previous episodes. John remedies that. He also argues that overpopulation results primarily from gender inequality and a lack of access to affordable contraception—education and affluence matter, but they are secondary to equality. Combatting overpopulation is often thought of in centralized and draconian terms, but John feels that population levels will naturally plateau if individuals are allowed to freely choose the size of their families. Does this make you think of the Constitutional questions discussed in Roberta Francis' episode? Early in The Conversation, Alexander Rose mentioned his concern that a declining population could threaten our economic system. That question surfaced again, albeit in a slightly different guise, when I spoke to John Fullerton about the challenge of decelerating the economy—though we did not talk about population decline, it's worth asking if our appraisals of corporate value assume a growing population.  Seager also gives us another perspective on the ideological purity and social pragmatism discussion that Neil and I had at the end of Gary Francione's episode. Like Francione, Seager is a moral realist in certain areas—gender equality being one—but he also embraces incremental change and makes a case for the word "opportunism." Are purity and pragmatism a false binary? Are they equally effective (or ineffective) modes of achieving social goals? Micah, Neil and I will talk about this more at the end of the episode. One last connection to leave you with: Robert Zubrin. Zubrin claims that overpopulation is a false concept and that, with sufficient freedom and creativity, we can support ever greater populations. Does this make him at odds with Seager? Or does Seager's emphasis on individual freedom and choice make his ideas compatible with Zubrin's? We don't know.

John Seager is the President of Population Connection, formerly Zero Population Growth. Since its founding in 1968, Population Connection has been America's largest grassroots organization dedicated to the question of overpopulation. Prior to his work at Population Connection, John worked for the EPA and in congressional politics. Population has been a regular theme in The Conversation but has not been well developed in previous episodes. John remedies that. He also argues that overpopulation results primarily from gender inequality and a lack of access to affordable contraception—education and affluence matter, but they are secondary to equality. Combatting overpopulation is often thought of in centralized and draconian terms, but John feels that population levels will naturally plateau if individuals are allowed to freely choose the size of their families. Does this make you think of the Constitutional questions discussed in Roberta Francis' episode? Early in The Conversation, Alexander Rose mentioned his concern that a declining population could threaten our economic system. That question surfaced again, albeit in a slightly different guise, when I spoke to John Fullerton about the challenge of decelerating the economy—though we did not talk about population decline, it's worth asking if our appraisals of corporate value assume a growing population.  Seager also gives us another perspective on the ideological purity and social pragmatism discussion that Neil and I had at the end of Gary Francione's episode. Like Francione, Seager is a moral realist in certain areas—gender equality being one—but he also embraces incremental change and makes a case for the word "opportunism." Are purity and pragmatism a false binary? Are they equally effective (or ineffective) modes of achieving social goals? Micah, Neil and I will talk about this more at the end of the episode. One last connection to leave you with: Robert Zubrin. Zubrin claims that overpopulation is a false concept and that, with sufficient freedom and creativity, we can support ever greater populations. Does this make him at odds with Seager? Or does Seager's emphasis on individual freedom and choice make his ideas compatible with Zubrin's? We don't know.

John Fullerton is the founder of the Capital Institute, a group dedicated to the modest task of rethinking the future of finance. Prior to his work at the Capital Institute, he was the Managing Director of JPMorgan. If there is a moment that encapsulates my conversation with John, it is when he suggests we need a new word to express the interconnected environmental/economic system. Applying an investor's sense of risk management to climate change, John sees our economic status quo as reckless and self-destructive. If we remain transfixed by our model of infinite growth in a finite system, John warns, we are likely to destabilize the natural capital underpinning our economy. If you're hoping John will swoop in with an easy solution here, you're wrong. Transitioning away from an economy based on infinite growth is immensely risky in its own right. Efforts to stabilize the climate would come at the cost of leaving immensely valuable natural resources in the ground, devaluing many of our most important companies, and causing economic havoc. This yields a choice which, John concludes, isn't a choice at all: economic turbulence with a radically altered climate or economic turbulence without a radically altered climate. As The Conversation grows larger and connections multiply, it is becoming harder for me to choose which connections to highlight. Here are a few that I haven't linked back to recently: John is skeptical of the technological/market optimism voiced (however cautiously) by Colin Camerer. At the same time, his association of life with goodness takes us back to Chris McKay. Without any prompting by me, he cites the precautionary principle in a way that supports Carolyn Raffensperger and questions Max More.
