A former schoolmate of mine, Hudson Spivey, has started an interesting new blog entitled, “Confronting Scarcity.”  As the title suggests, Hudson’s site is more focused on the causes and solutions to issues such as over-population and dwindling global food and water supplies rather than the more media saturated theme of global warming and carbon emissions.

Hudson “confronts” this challenging subject with a blend of historical perspective, agricultural insight, nightmare visions, and an appetite for grand themes and radical changes.  A sort of Chuck Palahniuk for the ecologically minded.
