Carbon Based in the news
June 2010 – I served as a consulting editor to a the New York City Panel on Climate Change final report, published as Climate Change Adaptation in New York City: Building a Risk Management Response through the New York Academy of Sciences. You've seen this report in the news in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
May 2009 – I helped draft the scenarios for Rising Waters, a multistakeholder scenarios effort focused on climate change adaptation in the Hudson Valley. The final report is now completed and available here.

November 19, 2008 – Cut carbon emissions and still save money right away? It can be done if you know where to start, as I explain in a Climate Biz column.
July 31, 2008 – Check out this wide-ranging interview about climate justice, resilience, disasters and more on Cleanskies.tv.
July 2008 – Carbon taxes are so much better than emissions trading for cutting greenhouse gases, and yet politically cap-and trade is the winner. Find out why at Climate Biz.
May 2008 – I reviewed two books on climate and energy in the New Leader magazine: James Gustave Speth's The Bridge at the Edge of the World: Capitalism, the Environment and Crossing from Crisis to Sustainability, plus Robert Bryce's Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of Energy Independence.
January 2008 – A very local paper covers a very global issue.... The Litchfield County Times in northwestern Connectictut ran an article in January 2008 about Carbon-Based.
