Global Warming

"It's got to be the earth which dictates our politics rather than our politics which dictate what we do to the earth." -Mark Lynas, author of Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet in AfterWords conversation with Gene Karpinski 2/5/08

Some books to read about Global Warming are here:
