Evolution is a tightly coupled dance, with life and the material environment as partners. From the dance emerges the entity Gaia.

If we gave up eating beef we would have roughly 20 to 30 times more land for food than we have now.

Geological change usually takes thousands of years to happen but we are seeing the climate changing not just in our lifetimes but also year by year.

Florida will be gone altogether, the whole damned place, in not too long.

By 2040, the Sahara will be moving into Europe and Berlin will be as hot as Baghdad. Atlanta will end up a kudzu jungle. Phoenix will become uninhabitable, as will parts of Beijing (desert), Miami (rising seas) and London (floods). Food shortages will drive millions of people north, raising political tensions.

I have heard that the Saudi Arabians are paying Greenpeace to campaign against Nuclear Power. It wouldn't surprise me at all.
