Do we possess sufficient courage...?

"Do we posses sufficient courage, compassion, and creativity to stave off chaos in defense of a just, sustainable society?"

These are not my words--this is the final question posed by Guy McPherson, School of Natural Resources and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona, and Jake F. Weltzin, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee. These guys have degrees, but we don't need degrees to understand what they are saying here. Please google their article,

Implications of Peak Oil for Industrialized Society in the Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society. June 2008.
