James K. Boyce of the Political Economy Research Institute says we must develop new economics to serve human and environmental needs. We need to think deeply about these ethical foundations, says Boyce, as he discusses his latest book, Economics for People and the Planet: Inequality in the Era of Climate Change

I sincerely echo the previous comment, with emphasis! A clear presentation of relevant and important ideas. I'll go listen/read more by Boyce. I do wish I could afford to support your work more generously, but we all can do only what we can.
We live in a three-class society. With my slow of thought laboring-class being the lower-half of society and known as the 50% working poor. With the genus rich being the 25% ruling-class. With the 25% intelligent middle-class being the over-bearing supervisors, the killer-cops and all of the other slave-drivers of society.
For since the beginning of civilization, the more intelligent upper-half of society has hoarded all of the land, wealth and political power. The fake morality being that we have a right to be enriched upon the misery of those who have less education, less wealth or less whiteness of skin.
For wealth is the property we own above what is needed to have a comfortable life, a luxury that no one among the 50% working poor has ever experienced.
And so, to overcome global warming we need to give everyone a desire to enjoy life without wealth, a desire to not hoard wealth, but to keep wealth flowing in the economy and used only to improve the health and wellbeing of society and planet earth.
James is right we should not be focused on monetary related growth. Now all he needs to do is the magic economist math to figure out how change that and grow without using more fossil fuel energy. Because so far there is no "future energy" that can replace it. Next he needs to figure out the needed investments he talks about will not be made because we are too busy going broke making profits fro the few through wars. Finally he needs the figure out that making life blood fuel more expensive will only cause more of the inequality he is so worried about.
But he does seem to understand current weather and "climate science" very well. Can't blame the guy though, after all he is an economist.
Murder the greed pardigm from the species or accept that the extinction event we are the cause of will include us.
Hydrino is a paradigm changer. It will blow your socks off. That is, if there any socks left next year considering the pivotal points made by Dane Wigington and by The HAARP Report, Ocean Iron Fertilization.
Records are being broken and there is no other context to take them in, certainly, not this 'ought to' truck for the immediacy of equality, first, absolutely. Brett Holverstott summarizes hydrino and the suppression of such fundamentally basic truth, such as 137 states for hydrino, the remainder of the periodic chart of the elements, dark matter. This is a water planet and a hydrogen universe. We have to figure this out now.
I absolutely agree, and I don't just agree I've figure out how to do this. It has to do with convergence of synergistic opportunities rather than working in isolation. I use a difference optical all together.
11:50 a smart grid? hell no, are you blind?
Guys talking through his arse. First thing a man has to talk about is growing and irrigating.
