No need to be rude. You can say whatever you want to say to Kali without saying things like "you're a nobody". Just not necessary.

I believe that there have been plans for making protected areas interconnected. The Nature Conservancy tries to buy up corridors that links protected areas. But efforts will probably have to be increased 10-fold or some things could just go extinct. In mountainous areas, things can simply move up--except creatures and plants already at the top. Pikas in Colorado, for instance, will be in trouble as their alpine tundra homes shrink.

No thanks to purgatory for me. I basically agree with James Hansen and Bill McKibben. We have unforgivably squandered 20 years on this, things are very likely to get rather bad eventually, and we need to prepare for that AND finally start to take REAL action to minimize the risk of things getting much worse. I just want to say though: I don't think even one genuine scientist in a thousand denies the reality and seriously negative consequences of global warming, but neither does one in a thousand predict that it will wipe out the human species entirely.

I'd have to agree that it is too little too late, but that doesn't mean they couldn't do things that matter because they can. The problem is that doing anything that makes a real difference is going to cut into some rich people's profits and that means you have to have a leader with some balls to push it through anyway. Sad to say, we don't have that.

Ummmm. NO one mentioned the Cap and Trade bill, and I know little about it. Do any of you have an opinion?

Many thanks for the kind

Yeah, you're really putting your life on the line by posting on the Internet.

I don't care what you've done. You're a nobody and it doesn't change anything I've said about organic farming.

Attacking organic farming

Attacking organic farming with such attitude is an attack on some of the only people who have fought for environmentalism, many putting their lives on the line. Even the rednecks out here respect us and buy our food to supplement their forest-fed deer and elk. It's people like you that give corporations the OK to pollute millions of wheat land with pesticides and then pass on the poisons to real people who get sick from it. Choke on your lilly-white wonder bread.
