The biggest story this week made it through to some of the general media: the 700 page Stern report to the UK government confirms, with real economic authority and in detail, that in the face of the global warming crisis we can pay a little now, or break the bank later. Much of the other news this week is about energy. That's good because it is important, and though the path is pretty clear, there's a long way to go. Restructuring energy use and production is also not enough - and some of these stories go there, too.
