Four faculty at Georgia Tech participated in a debate focusing on the theses of the newly published textbook (Climate Change and Global Energy Security) coauthored by Marilyn Brown (Georgia Tech) and Benjamin Sovacool (Vermont Law School). The book submits that our world already has most of the sustainable energy technologies it needs to do this, but it faces a system of reinforcing barriers that support incumbent technologies, handicap innovation, and prevent change.

It has been argued in this journal (Callicott, et.al., 2009) that the evidence
advanced that Aldo Leopold was influenced by American Pragmatism is "imaginary,"
and that apparent textual evidence that Leopold learned key ideas from A.T. Hadley,
President of Yale University and a self-avowed Pragmatist, can be explained away. It is shown that Callicott, et. al. misunderstand pragmatism, misunderstand what
environmental pragmatists have attributed to Leopold, fail to understand either the
context or the internal argument of Leopold’s "Conservation as a Moral Issue."
Consequently, they miss important contributions that Leopold made to the philosophy of conservation.
