EB Comments Community

EB invites you to take part in our discussion. It is our hope that opening up the site to comments via Disqus social networking will help to build a more connected community of readers who are actively engaged with solution-oriented responses to the triple challenges of peak oil, climate change and economic contraction.

Commenting guidelines

In order to ensure a constructive debate EB editors retain the right to delete comments in order to maintain the integrity of the site. Here are some guidelines for commentators.

• Treat members of the community with civility and respect. In the event that you see disrespectful behavior please report it to the editors rather than further inflaming the situation.
• Personal attacks are not acceptable. Let's stick to a discussion of the issues.
• Keep your comments on topic and relevant to the article.
• Do not copy and paste complete copyrighted articles without permission from the copyright holder. Limited copying under the doctrine of "fair use" is OK.
• Using comments to promote products and services for sale is prohibited.
• The issue of whether climate change exists is NOT open for discussion.

Notes

We would like to keep the debate focused, so for this reason threads will be kept open for two weeks after publication of the article.
