Description:

“If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will grow and gather to itself such explosive power that, the day it bursts through, it will blow up everything in its way.” -- Emile Zola “The IPCC understates a key risk: that self-reinforcing feedback loops could push the climate system into chaos before we have time to tame our energy system.” – Mario Molina, winner of 1995 Nobel Prize for chemistry “Climate change is an issue determining our destiny as mankind – it will determine the wellbeing of all of us.” -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel addressing the UN climate conference in Bonn, Nov. 2017 "History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awaken." -- Stephen Daedalus, Ulysses by James Joyce "The earth is speaking now, but man won't listen."-- Darryl "Grey Eagle" Brown, a spiritual leader of the Choctaw tribe, June 12, 2016 "Like any grandfather, I want my grandchildren to enjoy the beauty and bounty of a healthy planet. And like any human being, it grieves me to see that floods, droughts and fires are getting worse, that island nations will disappear and uncounted species will become extinct."-- U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Nov. 26, 2015"God always forgives, but the earth does not. Take care of the earth so it does not respond with destruction," -- Pope Francis, at a UN conference in Rome, Nov. 19, 2014"The melt-off from the world's ice sheets, ice caps and glaciers over eight years of the past decade would have been enough to cover the United States in about 18 inches of water, according to new data" from Nasa Satellites. -- The Christian Science Monitor, Feb. 8, 2012 The Climate Movement and the Liabilities of Hope * Greenland ice sheet passes point of no return (Aug. 2020) * The global thaw is releasing ancient viruses and bacteria (April, 2020) * 2010-2019 is the hottest decade in recorded history (Aug. 2020) climate change is not just another issue in this complicated world of proliferating issues.

This site, based on the book The Heat Is On, by Ross Gelbspan, (Perseus Books,1997): · Lays bare the central drama: the ability of this planet to sustain civilization vs. the survival of the fossil fuel industry (a 6,000-word text overview); · Catalogues the last four years of increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather events all over the world; · Provides a digest of the major scientific findings about global warming; · Documents a pervasive and very successful industry campaign of deception and disinformation (and details the U.S. politics of climate change at the beginning of 1999); · Outlines a global solution which could begin to stabilize our inflamed climate while, at the same time, triggering an unprecedented gain in the overall equity and wealth of the global economy.
