End of the world, if we do not react now! / Good industries
It is common to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
I think we now know enough about the dangers of staying on the course. We need to change, for I think the human civilization is just way too precious for committing a deliberate suicide. Even if we do not care about the rest of animals and plants, we should care for ourselves, our children and our future. We need to change! I think most of us would (and will, if given the opportunity) prefer survival over continuing current habits.
Please, leave comments and propose something. Let's get together and save our asses!

End of the world, if we do not react now!
According to Jim Hansen's newest research, one degree and we're done for."Further global warming of 1C defines a critical threshold. Beyond that we will likely see changes that make Earth a different planet than the one we know."What can we do? Individually, each of us can cut down CO2-emissions by e.g. cutting down personal energy consumption by, say, 50%, which is quite easy. But actions of some enlightened individuals do not change the world. How could we raise this issue so that our government, even in Finland, would start to push for changes?
" Earth is already as warm as at any time in the last 10,000 years, and is within 1C of being its hottest for a million years, says Hansen's team. Another decade of business-as-usual carbon emissions will probably make it too late to prevent the ecosystems of the north from triggering runaway climate change. "
