I was recently pointed toward The Way Things Break, a weblog which seems to be grappling with how to educate the public about climate change, eco-disaster and related topics.What struck me was how devoid of historical context some of these Young Turks appear to be, acting as if they are the first generation with such insights. Hasn’t anyone ever heard of The Limits to Growth? or, as a matter of fact, Thomas Malthus?
