A) Graph of the day: Obama has had the lowest growth in government spending of any President since or including Reagan.
B) The world's poorest 1 billion people are responsible for only 3 percent of global carbon emissions, so focusing on low-carbon emission tech for them is not terribly useful. The rich, if they reduced their emissions by just 8 percent, could achieve more climate mitigation than the poor could achieve by reducing their emissions to zero. The rich could manage this 8 percent reduction by altering their lifestyles in barely noticeable ways.
C) As Frank Rich points out, A good portion of America has been trying to sabotage the government for almost our entire history.
D) Here's something neat - solar panels printed on window glass.
E) In Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series, we get "feral humans" - people who deliberately live on a terraformed Mars with just Stone-Age tech. Here's modern-day Britons living in Britain with Victorian technology. Specifically, they wander Britain via horse-drawn carts.
