I have to admit, this was the most disappointing issue of the The Architecture Journal ever because it presents Global Warming and Climate Change as fact when there is still a political debate going on.

Also, I have to question the timeliness as well. In the midst of an economic crisis I do not see many businesses wanting to sacrifice costs and time only for the result of being able to say they are 'green'.

I appreciate your opinion Shaun. Not sure if I agree completely with your vision

You say "it's a matter of debate" and that's true but governments thru legislations are already fostering a move to the green way (prizes and penalties depending on energy consumption, tax back for Energy Star compliance acquisitions, governmental co-paid long-lasting low consuming valves, etc

In that sense, the magazine is aligned with a trend already being seen

I also disagree, must admit, with your opinion that in these uncertain times going green is just a frivolity. It has a lot to do with consume reduction and efficiency (take a look to the article on Project Genome, about cooling a data center more or less depending on temperature of its different sectors). All that will led to expense reduction, one of the forced consequences of this midst crisis. Don't you agree?
