• Too much information can lead to worse decisions – Rob May explains representative bias. One of my odd little obsessions – the psychology of decision making.
• TierneyLab: Good Climate Policy, Bad Politics – US presidential candidates ignoring carbon tax as a solution to carbon emissions.
• The benefits of local food: why did we ever leave it? – Stephen lays into India Knight, who is bemoaning the loss of local shops. His ultra free market approach is perhaps a little extreme and assumes everyone shopping in supermarkets has made their choice consciously, instead of drifting there by convenience,
• Woodgas – Good overview of wood gasification plant
