Short versus long term thinking
What’s more effective? Thinking short term doom (100 months) or making an investment in long term thinking?
my gut feeling goes with the second - any thoughts? Hat tip to Paul Miller for The Long Now connection. That’s not to discredit the 100 months campaign, I just have reservations with their tone of message. Guess I’m an optimist rather than a pessimist.

100 seems to be the number of the moment. I was at a seminar at Atkins this morning and they have launched a 100 week plan to make 5,000 of their staff “carbon literate” in the next two years.
I would tend to agree - this x-amount of months or years before we all die stuff tends to put people off. You would appear to be a green glass half full type on my new sustainability swingometer - http://zerochampion.building.co.uk/2008/09/17/sustainability-swingometer/
