POPSClimate change: a common human interest Climate has fluctuated through the eons with glacial and interglacial periods. The strong link between CO2 rises and the rate at which temperature rise and changes in sea levels are occurring is undeniable and exceeds 'natural' fluctuations. Can society cope with the rate of change? We don't have unlimited resources and time while producing excess CO2 or any other kind of pollution through fossil fuel subsidised technology. Western lifestyles overemphasize consumption at the expense of reusing and recycling. People's habits will not change through mere will power but rather government enforced programs to develop sustainable markets that can salvage our economical structures as much as humanly possible,. Cocentrate on preserving what is still good on Earth!! If we do nor unite as a planet the fall of capitalism is not far away, much like the Roman Empire rose and fell....

POPSLogging, politics and climate change Clearly, conservation groups have criticised Labour's policy and in the upcoming election Greens preferences are likely to move to the Liberals. The policy may be a vote winner for many Tasmanians whose jobs are dependent on the timber interest but Labour may be accused of "selling out" on the Greens. Rudd has not stood up to the unions which effectively dictate policy. Will John Howard continue to attract the Green vote with his strong stand against unions and new policy addressing global warming? And what can be done to stop these illegal imports? Surely existing forestry practices within Australia can fill the void!
