Protect The Planet, and Hurry

I thought I'd link you to an article entitled "Protect The Planet, and Hurry". Here's part of what it says:

Eleven of the 12 highest annual global temperatures ever recorded have occurred since 1995, convincing many of the world's leading scientists and environmentalists that global warming has begun in earnest.

There are, of course, skeptics: among them, equally qualified experts who remain unconvinced of the existence of incontrovertible meteorological evidence that the foreseeable future will bring an overheated planet with catastrophic flooding, health epidemics and wildlife extinction.
...
Despite increasingly louder pleas for thwarting global warming, including calls for taxes on all carbon emissions from the largest factories down to individual households and automobiles, chances are there will be either no legislative action or, at best, token efforts that will accomplish little or nothing. Moreover, even if Congress does enact strong anti-carbon emission legislation, it remains doubtful that the necessary two-thirds majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives could be mustered to override a probable presidential veto.

Depressing, isn't it?
