Quotes
- "You see that pale, blue dot? That's us. Everything that has ever happened in all of human history, has happened on that pixel. All the triumphs and all the tragedies, all the wars all the famines, all the major advances... it's our only home. And that is what is at stake, our ability to live on planet Earth, to have a future as a civilization. I believe this is a moral issue, it is your time to cease this issue, it is our time to rise again to secure our future."
- "Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced."

Just watched "An Inconvenient Truth". Now am "cooking" chips, garlic bread and pizza; all prepacked, in non-recycled packaging. Fail.

I'm finally getting around to watching An Inconvenient Truth. It's making me hate Bush Jr more for ducking Al Gore over

Spilled a can of formula at our mall which no longer has a CVS. That, my friend, is an inconvenient truth.
