The Age, Australia - Aug
24, 2004
Many people spent Labor Day weekend camping,
hiking or climbing in America's great national parks and forests. But the peace,
quiet and environmental health of these natural places is threatened by the
buzzing and polluting of off-road vehicles. As a recipient of Animals and
Environment Alerts from Care2, I know you care about protecting our forests, so
please take a moment to submit your public comment in support of forest
protection: http://www.care2.com/go/z/16835

| The U.S. Forest Service is poised to radically alter
forest management regulations, yet refuses to seek counsel from an
independent panel of scientists. The decision to avoid scientific
input, and the planned policy changes, are overwhelmingly
opposed by the public and scientific community. Urge your

How Global Warming May Cause the Next Ice Age
New research on the Great
ocean conveyor belt and climatology show How
Global Warming May Cause the Next Ice Age. A report
in The Independent claims new research also suggests Britain is likely to
be plunged into an ice age within our lifetime by global warming. Some reports
claim Climate
Collapse is The Pentagon's Weather Nightmare.
Current models of climate change assume a gradual process, but
some geoscientists say Sudden
Climate Change is the historical norm. While there is a vigorous
debate in scientific circles over whether global warming matters, Tony
Blair's chief scientist has launched a withering
attack on President George Bush for failing to tackle climate change, which
he says is more serious than terrorism. While Bush dithers on climate change for
the benefit of corporations, New
England states confront Bush with climate change plans.
The World Health Organization recently said 150,000
people died due to global warming in 2000, and the death toll could double
again in the next 30 years if current trends are not reversed. Another
scientific paper predicted Global
Warming to Kill Off 10 per cent of Species by 2050. Global Warming is likely
to trigger a potential
water crisis globally, and Hotter
summers, fewer frosts for Australia.
Debates
and Actions around and outside the Climate Conference in Milan in December
2003 highlighted the root cause of climate change, the fossil
fuel economy. According to a recent report to US Dept. of Energy on Peak
Oil, "Peaking
will be catastrophic". The lack of action by the United Nations, should
make people around the world aware not to depend on states and corporations, but
instead to create social-ecological alternatives
in our daily lives. Or maybe its time to start preparing for Life
after the Oil Crash.

The World's Worst Industrial Disaster
Dubbed the "Hiroshima of the Chemical
Industry" the 1984 gas leak at the Union Carbide pesticide factory in
Bhopal released forty tons of poisonous methyl isocyanate (MIC) gasses into a
residential community of over half a million. An estimated eight thousand
people died within the first week of the disaster. For years residents
continued to die from injuries at a rate of one per day and Bhopal activists
say the death toll has risen to 20,000. An additional 120,000 survivors live
with chronic and debilitating, multi-systemic gas related ailments.
Bee lost nine members of her family to the
gases and suffers from semi-blindness, breathing difficulties and a gas
related psychiatric condition for which she has to take constant medication.
Shukla lost her health and her husband. Both women have grandchildren born
with deformities, a condition common to babies born to gas-affected parents. read
