The Debate Is Over: No Serious Scientist Doubts That Humans Are WarmingUp the Planet BILL McKIBBEN / Rolling Stone 3nov2005
http://www.mindfully.org/Air/2005/Warming-Debate-Over3nov05.htm The worst thing about the Oh shit era is we don’t know for sure exactly what will happen. Most of the changes I’ve been listing – nastier storms, rising sea levels – are pretty much linear extrapolations. If you make it hotter, they’ll just keep getting worse.

Mass Extinction Underway | Biodiversity Crisis | Global Species Loss
http://www.well.com/user/davidu/extinction.html I say “I like it” but of course I don’t. Mass extinctions aren’t generally thumbs-up type affairs. Even more reason that people should try to do whatever they can to help out. Bush voters, this applies doubly to you.

http://www.algonquinecolodge.com/phototour.html This is probably the last of the stumbles from me until Sunday. Tomorrow I’m off to the Eco-Lodge in Algonquin Park, to test a new weight-loss method: Letting the midgies suck out a few litres of my blood. (Stupid midgies!)

http://wwf.ca/AboutWWF/WhoWeAre/Default.asp?lang=EN OK, bitches! Money—>where mouth is. I’ve been so obsessed with my whistling whales that I’ve decided to step up and do something about it. Starting next week, I’m a month-over-month charitable contributor to the World Wildlife Fund. Their goals, listed below, are nothing but admirable, and if any charity can accomplish them, it’d be […]
Two-thirds of worlds resources used up | Science | The Guardian
http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/science/story/0,12996,1447921,00.html Depressing as hell, but important to read. If everyone could change just one or two habits with regards to recycling, energy use, carpooling, etc., it would help immensely. I’m always amazed to see how few people can be bothered.
