http://www.radio4all.net/program/65789Podcast for Program: #256 -- Global Crises and the End of Growth (Part 1)Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:46:46 +0000240http://www.radio4all.net/program/65789In Part 1 of this interesting speech, Heinberg discusses our intersecting global crises. These are the end of cheap energy, runaway global debt, and climate change. Then he identifies an underlying cause of all three crises--an economic system that demands and depends on constant, compounding GROWTH. But such growth cannot continue much longer on a finite planet. . . . (Next week: imagining--and planning for--a low-growth or no-growth future. It might not be so bad, after all.)
