"Global Warming is not just a crisis of ecology, it effects our economy and our ability to produce energy", said Carlin. "One hundred years ago the atmosphere was at 275 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide. We are at a decision point right now. We have increased to 387 ppm, and are continuing to increase 2ppm every year. This is beyond what our world can handle.If we continue on the same path, we will soon face a Mad Max world of starvation, wars and environmental die-off on a scale we have not seen. We need to decrease to 350 ppm to be safe. If we want to repair our world with love and reverence, we must make 2009 a year of monumental change. The model we have right now of an economy run by corporations was destined to fail us. Corporations are legally required to place the interests of shareholders ahead of planetary health. We need a broader model of democracy which will allow us to quickly and fairly dial down our consumption while focusing on fulfilling basic human needs."

As an accomplished environmental activist and geographer, Carlin has advocated sustainable development principles for the past 15 years. In 1995, Carlin completed his Ph.D. in Geography from  Clark University.  From 1996 to 2004,  Carlin was Co-Director of Long Island University’s Institute for Sustainable Development.  He also co-directed  Southampton  College’s Greenprint program, which advocated LEED construction standards, environmental literacy, wastewater management, recycling, and renewable energy.Carlin has been an Associate Professor of Geography in the at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University since the fall of 2005. He founded the Long Island Climate Solutions Network (www.licsn.org) in 2007 and he joined the Town of Southampton ’s “Sustainable Southampton” Advisory Committee in 2008. Carlin is a senior editor with ClimateCaucus.Net, (www.climatecaucus.net) an outgrowth of the 2007 United Nations conference, “Climate Change: How It Impacts Us All.” He also serves on the international advisory board for the Graduation Pledge Alliance (www.graduationpledge.org) , which encourages graduating high school and college students to lead lives of social and environmental responsibility. Carlin is currently writing a book examining sustainability issues in suburbia.Babylon Green Party Gatherings are held on the first Wednesday of every month:
