The era known as the Industrial Revolution and the changes that occurred during this period were between 1760 – 1850. While the first industrial revolution was centered on iron, steam technologies and textile production, the second industrial revolution called “The Age of Synergy” in which most of the great innovations were developed, happened between the period of 1867 – 1914. It revolved around steel, railroads, electricity, and chemicals. We are, in all probability, in a repetitive cycle of such motions. It doesn’t happen in one day, one year or even ten years. That’s why they are described as an era or an age. It just doesn’t happen overnight.

Post Revolution: After all of this there are also the effects of post revolution. Also known as cleanup.

The Board of Public Works votes unanimously to urge the mayor and city council to adopt a citywide ordinance banning single-use carryout bags. Story continues:

Battery life and driving range are two sticky phrases in discussions about why EVs have yet to hit mainstream use. Drivers still feel skittish about the idea of setting out on longer trips on batteries lasting too few miles and then losing time seeking a recharge. New developments in battery research may brighten the picture somewhat. Read More:

In a paper published in Science, the research team identifies the genetic signature in the common European plant Arabidopsis thaliana that governs the plant’s fitness — its ability to survive and reproduce — in different climates. The researchers further find that climate in large measure influences the suite of genes passed on to Arabidopsis to optimize its survival and reproduction. The set of genes determining fitness varies, the team reports, depending on the climate conditions in the plant’s region — cold, warm, dry, wet, or otherwise. Read more:

With political action on curbing greenhouse gases stalled, a bipartisan panel of scientists, former government officials and national security experts is recommending that the government begin researching a radical fix: directly manipulating the Earth’s climate to lower the temperature.

In order for climate solutions to work, president Bill Clinton says it’s imperative they capture “the imaginations of ordinary people.” The Clinton Global Initiative 2011 is underway in New York City, and the international elite has once again gathered in Midtown Manhattan to forge new commitments that attempt to tackle the planet’s most pressing problems.

Climate change realigned in a way that broadens economic growth and prosperity:

Until now, scientists were uncertain about how much and where in the world terrestrial carbon is being stored. In the July 14 issue of Science Express, scientists report that, between 1990 and 2007, the world’s forests stored about 2.4 gigatons of carbon per year. Story continues

The so-called “debate” on climate change has been over for decades in the peer-reviewed literature. It is time to accept the scientific consensus and move on, and to stop giving air-time to the cranks.

It is time for accountability.
