Which part, deforestation, soil erosion, over-fishing, pollution, species extinction, habit loss, loss of biodiversity, etc..etc..etc

Google it, you'd be surprised. Here's a start: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article....RTICLE_ID=58513

I agree, I don

It has nothing directly to do with climate change. However, the same blowhards, Limbaugh, Senator James Inhofe, etc, that spend hours discussing and legislating the absurdity of human influenced climate change, the year 1998, etc - are the same blowhards who will, two seconds later, remind you that same sex marriage is and should remain illegal because their religion tells them so

And that

I'm being sincere here and have no desire to push an agenda. It's a fair question given that much of the skepticism and resistance to taking steps to offset our negative impact on the environment stems from the right, specifically, the religious right. It appears rather disingenuous, to me, to nit-pick the science behind climate change to death, pounce on every flaw, while at the same time, trying to push a religious agenda through abortion, same sex marriage, the teaching of intelligent design, etc. As if climate change in its entirety has been debunked because we haven't witnessed a me

Why must the two be mutually exclusive? The climate and the environment share a symbiotic relationship - are part of the same system - effect one, and you effect the other.

If we're going to start weighing the size of the "for" and "against" crowd in relation to climate change, the "against" side of the scale is going to start looking rather anemic. I'm well aware I'm about to open Pandora's Box here, but what I have a hard time understanding, is how the right, many of whom are firm religious believers, can, without any apparent sense of irony, completely overlook the fact that everything in the bible has, for the most part, been disproved by science. Which is to say, believe in something whose existence really does not exist outside the realm of faith, would

Of course the large swathes of North and South American forests that have been denuded, the mountain tops literally leveled, the entire ecosystems destroyed could never be attributed to the arrival and hubris of man....the fact that tomorrow, through the use of nuclear weapons, the entire planet could be rendered lifeless, by man no less, should be overlooked as well.... Silly us, as if anything we do could have dire results for everything else sharing the planet with us....

I think you'll have fun with it, it's a great read - a near perfect blend of sadness, joy, perseverance and straight-up comedy.

I think that has more to do with the fact that the term "global warming" is sort of a misnomer, as warming will not necessarily occur across the board - and, because deniers like to point out "cold" spots as proof the entire issue is a bust, a hoax. Climate change, a much broader term, is more representative of what is actually occurring. I consider global warming to be one component of climate change, along with habitat loss, deforestation and the resulting soil erosion, species decline, etc.

Waking Life

Soap Opera Woman: Hey. Could we do that again? I know we haven't met, but I don't want to be an ant. You know? I mean, it's like we go through life with our antennas bouncing off one another, continously on ant autopilot, with nothing really human required of us. Stop. Go. Walk here. Drive there. All action basically for survival. All communication simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along in an efficient, polite manner. "Here's your change." "Paper or plastic?' "Credit or debit?" "You want ketchup with that?" I don't want a straw. I want real human moments. I want to see you. I want you to

Our 20 month old Lily loves, Elizabeth Mitchell (of Ida) - You Are My Little Bird - is full of sweet, mellow folk tunes. http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-My-Little-Bi...5374&sr=8-1 Mom and dad like it just fine too.

So what you're honoring here, I think, is Mr. Heston's life-likeness?

Yeah, thanks for the post

FYI - from Pitchfork: Videos: Neutral Milk Hotel: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (Tomatoes & RadioWire Tribute) If you read Pitchfork regularly you probably know that this year was the tenth anniversary of the release of Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. We marked the event with Jeff Mangum interview materials provided by Pitchfork's Mike McGonigal, as well as by having some musicians talk about how this wonderful and one-of-a-kind record inspired them. There were many other tributes. In February of this year, an event called Tomatoes & RadioWire took place in Br

Excellent point
