Margaret Meade was right - both in relation to little groups not to be daunted, as well as big groups are useless at leadership. As MM put it ‘it’s only little groups that have EVER changed the world’. And we are supposed to think these guys will achieve anything. I went to a real big sustainability conference in Newcastle in 1997 - now we are looking down the barrel. Then there was Rio 1992, Bali late 2007. Politicians are playing us all for fools for sure.
