The Guardian's inestimable Jonathan Watts has an insightful retrospective out today:
An excerpt:
"I had come to fear that China may be where the 200-odd-year-old
carbon-fuelled capital-driven model of economic development runs into an
ecological wall. Britain, where it started, and China may be bookends
on a period of global expansion that has never been seen before and may
never be repeated again."

I'm sorry to have to say that the number of spam comment postings has required that we turn off anonymous comment posting. There's been a massive boom in what seems like computer-automated spam comments with links to web pages that advertise cheap, nasty, bad-for-you products, mostly cigarettes.
