By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian, 24th March 2009

Whenever you hear the word miracle, you know there's trouble just around 
the corner. But however many times they lead to disappointment or 
disaster, the newspapers never tire of promoting miracle cures, miracle 
crops, miracle fuels and miracle financial instruments. We have a 
bottomless ability to disregard the laws of economics, biology and 
thermodynamics when we encounter a simple solution to complex problems. 
So welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the new miracle. It's a low-carbon 
regime for the planet which makes the Atkins Diet look healthy: 
woodchips with everything......
