Even for Americans -- who are constitutionally convinced that there will always be a second act, and a third, and a do-over after that, and, if necessary, a little public repentance and forgiveness and a Brand New Start -- even for us

“In an age when man has forgotten
his origins and is blind even to his most
essential needs for survival,
water along with other resources has
become the victim of his indifference”
Rachael Carson

“Under the philosophy that now seems
to guide our destinies,
nothing must get in the way of the man
with the spray gun.”
Rachael Carson

"Tipping point" is a term from nuclear physics...it is an inappropriate term to use for biological systems.

The attempt to produce terror in you by telling you the situation is worsening in spite of the recent agreement that the warming stopped in 1998 at its peak. Temperatures have been cooling since 2001 and will continue to decrease until at least 2015. ....and CO2 NEVER had anything to do with it.

CO2 is an EFFECT of warming...not its cause. Warming oceans give off CO2, cooling ones absorb it. It is a feedback system and has nothing to do with "tipping points".

You are being scammed.
