What’s happened to the forests of the former Roman Empire? This and other mysteries are probed in Quandaries of Forest Area, Volume, Biomass, and Carbon Explored with the Forest Identity, a sequel by Paul Waggoner and Jesse Ausubel to our 2006 PNAS paper Returning Forests Analyzed with the Forest Identity.

This a talk given by Jesse at the PowerSouth Energy Cooperative in Sandestin Florida on 22 January 2008 explaining why methane is green and destiny, and why renewables are neither green nor destiny.

Our paper “Towards Green Mobility” was discussed recently in the New York Time’s Dot Earth blog.
