a big reason for the lack of a <u+201c>conversation<u+201d> is that the mass media are not reporting on global warming<u+2014>and for a reason that violates their responsibility to serve the public interest. a reporter of the weather here in milwaukee has told me that he would like to discuss global warming, but his management forbids him to do so<u+2014>and i suspect that this is true across the board, with <u+201c>our<u+201d> mass media! even <u+201c>progressive<u+201d> sites such as this one<u+2014>with dahr jamail<u+2019>s reports<u+2014>fail to indicate the severity of the crisis we humans now face.




dr. david wasdell ( http://www.apollo-gaia.org/har... , p. 16) wrote last year that he believed that what<u+2019>s in the <u+201c>pipeline<u+201d> at present<u+2014>that is, not counting what we do today, tomorrow, etc.<u+2014>is enough to increase the global mean more than 6<u+00b0> c above the pre-industrial level. that would easily be enough to <u+201c>wipe out<u+201d> our species. (already, 150 <u+2013> 200 species are going extinct each day! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...




dr. wasdell<u+2019>s 6<u+00b0> c number may be too high, but the (apparent) fact that global warming is now <u+201c>feeding on itself<u+201d> ( http://transitionvoice.com/201... should scare the bejesus out of everyone!
