six degrees

Link
While we're on the subject of this unusually warm weather, I've been reading a book by Mark Lynas entitled Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet. Sobering stuff...

And then the latest issue of National Geographic fell into my lap (thanks, Lily) with a great article by Peter Miller. Check it out. Perfect timing as we embark on our energy unit.

All this has me thinking of an even greater challenge post-BMT: a zero-emissions summer. Zero is a near impossibility, but how close can we get?

And of course this rules out some traveling that would otherwise be very appealing.
