CCG post 2/11/2009 - responding to Malcolm and RML
Malcolm - “How can we express the climate risk in way the public can understand?”
RML - That is probably the entire point right now. An infinite supply af “facts,” expecting people’s reasoning ability to take over, doesn’t seem to work.

In that spirit, we might show our own ability to reason with simple arithmetic. If you consider a growth system as always starting with a non-renewable seed resource, that is finite, then as the system grows what can you say about the rate of % changes in the balance of the seed resources available? Assuming you get the first part of that right, it’s not so hard, how valuable would it then be to have a way to tell?
