" What's the biggest story of the last several weeks? Rick Perry’s moment of silence, all 53 seconds' worth? The Penn State riots after revered coach JoePa went down in a child sex abuse scandal? The Kardashian wedding/divorce? The European debt crisis that could throw the world economy into a tailspin? The Cain sexual harassment charges? The trial of Michael Jackson’s doctor?

In fact, the piece of the week, month, and arguably year should have been one that slipped by so quietly, so off front-pages nationwide and out of news leads everywhere that you undoubtedly didn’t even notice. "

This problem needs to be dealt with direct action.

There is no other way.

The climate continues to change, no matter what we do or don't do.

One word for you to think about: Earthquakes. Why are they becoming more frequent? Why are they becoming violent?

did you see last week the black rhinoceros was declared officially extinct? I hope these greedy f*ckers enjoy counting their billions in a toxic environment .

It is estimated that there are between 1.5 and 10 million animal species on Earth. It is also estimated that 99% of all the species to appear on earth are now extinct. So using these two estimates that puts the number of extinct animals between 150 million and 1 billion species.

Has nothing to do with anything. Do you understand the term "responsibility?"

Not saying that anthropogenic global warming can't be true but, from what I've seen from both sides, the scientific conclusions aren't definitive, not by a long shot. Global warming science is politicized and lots of $$ at stake (and to be made) on both sides...
