I keep having to look hard to try to find the current climate/eco threads so thought we could use this, if folks want, as an easy one-thread-title covers all, for such discusions?
anyway this article which i saw on the news this morning seems a good place to start:
It seems unlikely that we can avoid many of the issues it talks about, and should we worry about a few less krill in the sea or no more turtles anyway?
I of course think yes, i would have liked to have been able to show my children the things that i enjoyed in the natural world when i was growing up - chances are for many of our children they will have to get such experiences from dvd+zoos.
Progress of the human species? or maybe just greed fueled short-sightedness?
History will give us its mark.
