Letter to the editor in Aftenposten about climate benefits of reduced oil production

Today a letter to the editor written by me was published in the Norwegian daily Aftenposten. Titled, in the printed version, "Oljekutt og regneferdigheter" [Oil cut and numeracy skills], it addresses research carried out by researchers at Statistics Norway and is written as a reply to a comment by undersecretary of Ministry of Finance Kjetil Lund (Labour).

The full text is posted in my Norwegian-language blog Utopisk Realisme.

Lunch at New York Times

The first day in New York last week, Monday June 20th, I had lunch with journalist, scholar and blogger Andrew Revkin plus philosopher-musician David Rothenberg at New York Times. Our primary topic for discussion was long-term environmental and societal scenaries. Revkin has received a couple of my articles and has decided to post on my work in his New York Times blog Dot Earth. A separate point is that I am interested in his prospective conference plans, on the theme "After the peak".
