Things change... I don't think we should regard change as a disaster.

There is no question that climate change is happening; the only arguable point is what part humans are playing in it.

We really need to kick the carbon habit and stop making our energy from burning things. Climate change is also really important. You can wreck one rainforest then move, drain one area of resources and move onto another, but climate change is global.

Many individuals are doing what they can. But real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics and in our politics.

It's coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It's not just climate change; it's sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now.

Firefighters are about saving lives. When you have a disaster or collapse you have to be prepared. That's what we're all about.
