Insight and inspiration in turbulent times.
Staff Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have won the Nobel Peace Prize “for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.”
A low-fat vegetarian diet is very efficient in terms of how much land is needed to support it. But adding some dairy products and a limited amount of meat may actually increase this efficiency, Cornell researchers suggest.
Among the many reactions to the news that Al Gore and the IPCC were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, here are those of:
– Alex Steffen (WorldChanging)
– Sharon Astyk (Casaubon’s Book)
– Elisabeth Rosenthal (NY Times)
– David Roberts (Grist)
