Limit to Growth – Again?

Posted on October 22, 2012 by climatechangefork

The reason that I am writing this series of blogs is to try to do whatever I can to prevent what I previously called a “Self Inflicted Genocide” (April 22); one, which in my opinion, and that of many others, … Continue reading →
