Why ration the future?
We all face a global warming emergency. Climate change science tells us that feedback mechanisms are driving us towards catastrophic climate change, requiring rapid cuts in carbon emissions. The idea of carbon rationing is a better response than carbon taxes, and here's how it will work.

NEW FEBRUARY 2008: NEW REPORT!
CLIMATE CODE RED: The case for a sustainability emergency
Climate policy is characterised by the habituation of low expectations and a culture of failure.  There is an urgent need to understand global warming and the tipping points for dangerous impacts that we have already crossed  as a sustainability emergency, that takes us beyond the politics of failure-inducing compromise. We are now in a race between climate tipping points and political tipping points.
