Apocalypse In Progress

For the entry #1 of the EthicL blog, we introduce the idea that social ethics, green-ness and wellness are moving targets and are certainly not black and white. The world is complicated and while many of us like to think of our values and beliefs as "fixed", things change very quickly, so I am often reminded of being open to opinions and ideas, to keep thinking.

Mike Davis writes a fantastic article at Salon which comprehensively goes through issues of how global warming is not only changing the earth's environmental condition, but also the human condition. Raises issues about the concentration of wealth in the middle east, the realities of treaties and the complexities and contradictions brought about with many seemingly positive eco-initiatives like biofuels and carbon offsets.
