POPS Meat creates half of all greenhouse gases People are cutting down rain forests to make grazing land for cattle, or to grow soya beans for cattle to eat. Now the numbers of methane emitting livestock are orders of magnitude greater than they were only 50 years ago.

POPS Who says it's green to burn woodchips? Almuth Ernsting from Biofuelwatch said: "It's almost unbelievable that we're creating vast areas of monoculture, mile after mile, just to be cut down as fast as they grow, to be shipped thousands of miles to be burned just for people's electricity. It just doesn't make sense. What about all the habitat that gets destroyed along the way?" Arrrghhh!!!! Please pass on ... retweet ... whatever. Somewhere I line must be drawn. See how woodlands can support multiple livings, and how complex they really are... www.worldwidewood.wordpress.com.

POPSEarth will be OK, but for us it's not so good Now it is the New Scientist saying that the best we can expect is a collapse of civilisation. This model assumes a 4 C increase. Today I clipped the latest predictions indicating a 6.3 C degree increase. See http://openintelligence.amplify.com/2009/10/05/new-analysis-brings-dire-forecast-of-63-degree-temperature-increase/.

POPSMan-made eruptions – 'Plan B' in the battle for the planet - #climate #geo-engineering Giving scientific researchers 10 million to do blue-sky geo-engineering research is not much for a Plan B considering the calamitous concsequences of green house gas emmissions. Plan A to be negotiated at Copenhagen is also totally inadequate because it is predicated on the assumption that people can keep on living as they are: driving, flying, consuming. Too bad that so few of us will even entertain Plan C(onsciousness) which is to change our purpose in life. If everybody's primary purpose in life was nurture and support nature, rather than exploit it for themselves, there might just be a chance. And even if there is no chance, at least we would end up doing the right thing. Virtue is its own reward.

POPSWe were here - #climate #insanity #grief Those humans who can identify themselves with the pain, grief and forboding of 'all our relations' as one by one they face extinction may be able to leave their guilt behind. Then it becomes possible to live for and with the love of nature. Love means giving back to nature more than is received. The choice is personal, anyone can make it.
