Very chilling. The inaction of the G8 leaders is so very frustrating.
It was only last year that the then Australian Prime Minister- Howard
- denied that there was such a thing as global warming.

The term Ecology was just coming into its own in 1967 in my first year
at university as a Zoology student. Rachel Carson's book "Silent
Spring' made a huge impact on people's concepts of pollution and the
interdependence of biosystems and living things. The sad thing is that
until very recently anyone espousing the science on global warming,
depleting resources, the environment and pollution was held in
ridicule by most people. They are not laughing now. I am not normally
Malthusian but I do worry for my children and my children's children.
