Global warming: 'We told you so'
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change of the United Nations asserts with near certainty - more than 90 percent confidence - that carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases from human activities have been the main causes of warming since 1950.

"Climate change is not only about exhausts and smokestacks, but also intrinsically connected with our mass interference with the earth’s biological processes through deforestation and agricultural malpractice." Craig Mackintosh

Fruit Flies in a Bottle
by Earnist Partridge, Ph.D.
Place a few fruit flies in a bottle with a layer of honey at the bottom, and they will quickly multiply to an enormous number, and then, just as quickly, die off to the very last, poisoned by their wastes. Similarly, add a few yeast cells to grape juice, seal the bottle, and the cells will consume the sugar and turn it into alcohol. When the alcohol rises to 12.5% it will kill off all the yeast, and the wine will be ready for the table.

Fruit flies and yeast in a bottle are embarked upon suicidal endeavors. They can’t help it. They don’t know any better, lacking the cognitive equipment to “know” anything at all.

Human beings, we are told, are different. Humans can utilize their accumulated knowledge, evaluate evidence and apply reason, and with these skills and accomplishments they can imagine alternative futures and choose among them to their advantage.

Human beings have these capacities. But history teaches us that all too often, human beings simply refuse to apply them and, like the mindless fruit flies, march blindly into oblivion. For example: >>>more

As a field zoologist, Tim Flannery has discovered and named more than thirty new species of mammals. His pioneering work in New Guinea prompted Sir David Attenborough put him in the league of the world’s great explorers and the writer Redmond O’Hanlon to remark, “He’s discovered more new species than Charles Darwin.">>>more

George Monbiot's List
Taken from his book 'Heat: How to Stop the Planet Burning'
www.monbiot.com
George Monbiot, science columnist for the Guardian (UK), has become a voice of reason regarding climate change, which he calls "not just a moral question: it is the moral question of the 21st century." Following reports that preventing climate change will be much cheaper than dealing with symptoms of climate change, Monbiot has come up with a ten-point plan to reduce greenhouse gas production by 90 percent by 2030 - with most of the reductions taking place early rather than late. >>>more
