Don't curse the darkness, light a candle.

New thinking on the climate crisis

The link below is Al Gore's new presentation

given for the 1st time, as he says, at the TED Monterey Conference this Spring.

Very informative and I recommend watching it. 

Can also be downloaded as MP4 or Podcast

 And, this is Dr. James Hansen's June 23rd, 2008 address to the US Senate
Energy Committee, on the 20th Anniversary of his 1988 address to
Congress on Climate Change & Global Warming.  James Hansen has been the
director of NASA's GISS (Goddard Inst. for Space Studies) for over 20
yrs. now.

In short, he says we have already passed an acceptable level of CO2 in
the atmosphere and now must address the issue of reaching the tipping
point (of no return, ie runaway climate change).
