The most important challenge humanity faces, how to step off modernity's energy intensive monoculture. It will never live within its "means" because its basic metabolism is to become ever more efficient at depleting and pillaging its surroundings. Its nature is to consume everything. The most efficient carbon capture is the stuff we never drill. Energy intensity is played out in land use, the operation of farms and cities pave over or sterilize regional biomes, which are like sprinkler and air conditioning systems for the planet. Modernity claims and utilizes land by cremating biomes in a pyre of hydrocarbons. Against the assumptions of mainstream economics, agricultural productivity (food per unit land) does not follow economies of scale. Small plot multi-crop farms if cultivated in specific ways produce more food without dependence on fossil fuel. Technological advancements should be devoted to this instead of large mono-crop farms. Every nation's talent should be devoted to improving each communities self-sufficiency; if the basics can be covered locally, each community lives within the environmental constraints of its region. This is the way of nature, the most talented engineer.
Finally saw him on record after reading his articles every sunday in amar ujala since last 5 years.
