The Earth Centre closes its doors
The Guardian has a Special Report on climate change this week. The interactive guide on the Antarctic ice shelf collapse is worth a look, and so is Mark Townsend's article, Flood, sweat and tears. The Townsend piece is a tad on the depressing side, and provides some pretty graphic examples (not of all of which are strictly to do with climate change) as to why time is running out for people in seats of power to start taking sustainable development seriously. The stimulus for his story is the closure of the Earth Centre near Conisborough in South Yorkshire, seemingly unable to withstand the pressures of the market economy.
