Getting that rabbit out the hat
How do you know miracles are not possible? If people earthwide undergo a change of heart to become more loving, and we work full force together - including using at times both low tech and the most advanced appropriate technologies - we still have a shot. Life has always been miraculous. At this historic time - of death of the old and birth of the new - the central thing to do is roll with the love...in service of life.

"We're running the risk of unstoppable climate change...the rate of warming will increase, bringing even more severe hurricanes and cyclones, flooding events and so on..."
~Chris Reid, marine scientist

...The oceans have absorbed 30 percent of all human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) since the start of the industrial age. There is now good evidence that the oceans are absorbing less carbon as a result of climate change. The warming of surface waters, glacial and sea ice meltwater, acidification and so on are inhibiting or slowing a number of the oceans’ mechanisms for absorbing carbon from the atmosphere and safely storing them in the deep ocean.
IPS: How will that affect us?
CR: It means the atmospheric concentrations of CO2 will rise much faster than has been previously projected by climate scientists. Human carbon emissions are already on pace for the worst case scenario as envisioned by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). These changes in the oceans means the rate of warming will increase, bringing even more severe hurricanes and cyclones, flooding events and so on.
IPS: Cyclones like the one that recently devastated Burma?
CR: Yes. Research presented at this meeting shows that South Korea and Japan are experiencing more powerful cyclones. While a single event can’t be precisely connected to climate change, the Burma cyclone fits what is expected with climate change....

...MIT luminaries have been working on a project to build a sub-$100, hand-cranked WiFi laptop, with the objective of supplying one apiece to every child in the developing world. They've done lots of cool stuff along the way -- for example, they've remained committed to providing entirely free and open operating systems for the machines, so that their owners can tinker with them, improve on them, and publish their improvements (they turned down an offer from Apple to supply OS X with every machine because it fails this test -- parts of Apple's OS are proprietary and can't lawfully be modified by users).
Now they've actually demoed a working prototype for the Secretary General of the UN, which cost just a hair more than the final price: $110...

High gas prices have driven a farmer in Warren County, Tennessee to hitch a tractor rake to a pair of mules...can be fed cheaper than fuel can be purchased...named Dolly and Molly, are slower but much more personable than the tractor...
