Climate One at The Commonwealth Club presents: Saving Civilization Is Not A Spectator Sport with Lester Brown, President, Earth Policy Institute
Brown sees concern in the merging of world food and energy economies. Putting corn ethanol in gas tanks and grain-intensive food (beef) into more human bellies will drive up commodity prices and exacerbate fresh water scarcity. Though he believes the Earth is under stress, Brown is hopeful, in part because for the first time since the Industrial Revolution we have begun investing in energy sources that can last forever. Brown also will comment on how the melting glaciers of Tibet could affect the price of a bagel in California.
Climate One at The Commonwealth Club is a leadership dialogue on energy, economy and environment. We convene thought leaders to advance discussion of the best path to a prosperous and clean energy future.
