"Longtime outspoken critic of globalism and what he calls the "rationalist elite," John Ralston Saul argues it's time for a big shift in our political and corporate thinking. Despite the promise of a shiny new world order of globalism for the past forty years, he argues, 19th century European ideas of progress borne out in the industrial revolution continue to dominate the direction of the world.

To a packed house at Melbourne's RMIT, Ralston Saul argues that the worldwide reliance on and faith in globalism has led to war, financial meltdown and a failure to find solutions to important challenges such as climate change."

Saul Griffith: Climate Change Recalculated

Engineer, environmentalist, and entrepreneur Saul Griffith examines the numerical reality of the fight against climate change.

Griffith connects personal actions and global climate change by analyzing his own carbon consumption.

Offshore Oil Panel - Commonwealth Club

"Both sides of the political aisle agree: Dependence on foreign oil has become a dangerous game. They say energy independence is a must, but the best way to get there remains a big question. There has been much speculation about the effects offshore oil drilling will have on our economy and our environment. Will drilling off the U.S. coastline lower prices at the pump in the immediate future? What will the environmental impact be? Join a panel of experts to discuss both the short-term and long-term advantages and disadvantages of offshore oil drilling"  - The Commonwealth Club of California
