Important Notice  [February 2006]
 
Unless the global energy consumption is reduced rapidly—by no later than June 2006—to about 60 exajoules (6E+19 joules), or less, each year (this level is about 12.4 percent of total global energy consumed in 2005) our studies show that the runaway positive feedback loops that are destroying Earth's ecosystems (ozone holes, global heating, extreme climatic events, toxic pollution, resources depletion, war, unethical behavior, and disease pandemics) would reach "the point of no return" and overwhelm our life support systems rendering most of our cities uninhabitable by as early as 2015, possibly earlier.  

Failure to rein back the global energy consumption to the levels below 60 exajoules annually by June 2006 would render the concept of sustainable management redundant (it seems highly unlikely that post industrial civilization would voluntarily sacrifice its perceived privileges and values in favor of sustaining life on Earth - see Stop Burning Earth). MSRB is replacing its current program with a disaster rescue operation.
