*Earlier in the year I spoke at the [Leading the Way](http://transitionculture.org/?p=295″LTW”) conference at Dartington which was organised by the Totnes Sustainability Group, and which launched DARE’s report on renewable energy for the South Hams. It was well received, and I was recently sent a transcript of some quite detailed notes of my talk taken by Dr. Carol Wellwood. I thought you might find it interesting, so here it is. It begins with the Chairman’s (David Radford) introduction… You can also download the Powerpoint presentation I used [here](http://susweb.net/tc/Climate-Changes-Twin-Sister-by-Rob-Hopkins.ppt”PPT”) and use it to accompany the notes below.*

It has been funny how many people have said “the [ASBO](http://www.crimereduction.gov.uk/asbos9.htm”ASBO”) conference?”, imagining I am off to spend a weekend with lots of teenage reprobates in hoodies hanging around threateningly in a shopping centre in Pisa. This means that there will be no new posts here for the next while, as I am getting back from that and am then away again, so postings over the next 3 weeks or so will be sporadic. I’ll be back with you in full-time blogging mode by **August 14th**, so see you then. Anyway, I determined that I was not going to fly to a peak oil conference, I just couldn’t do it, so I am going by train. In my preparing to do so I have to draw your attention to the great [Man in Seat 61](http://www.seat61.com/”61″).
