Climate Wars

Climate Wars: A Must for Everyone

The CBC �Ideas� series has been presenting Gwynne Dyer�s �Climate Wars.� http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/features/climate-wars/index.html and it is an absolute must for every thinking adult.

This series (and the book) is an honest and unflinching look at the real magnitude of the consequences of climate change, and how fast they are coming. He discusses how the real effect of climate change is the collapse of the food system, and the inevitable result of that will be war.

�Global warming is moving much more quickly than scientists thought it would. Even if the biggest current and prospective emitters - the United States, China and India - were to slam on the brakes today, the earth would continue to heat up for decades.

cbc.ca � At best, we may be able to slow things down and deal with the consequences, without social and political breakdown. Gwynne Dyer examines several radical short- and medium-term measures now being considered - all of them controversial. Climate Wars - January 14, 21, 28, 2009

Unfortunately they have already aired, but it still available by podcast. http://www.cbc.ca/ideas/podcast.html

Even if you do not have time to listen to them now, download them soon as Part One will be expiring in two weeks, and Parts Two and Three in each subsequent week.

I do not think it can be put anymore clearly why climate change is a crisis relevant to everyone alive, and why we must act now to work for the environment and peace.
