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.

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/.
