What I'm Reading

I wanted to learn more about global warming, and this book was highly recommended. Tim Flannery paints a scary picture, showing how humans have upset the balance of carbon and other important gases in our atmosphere, and disrupted the environment which can have wide ranging results through our climate and thus into every part of our lives.

As a result, many animal species are threatened with extinction, through the cascade of effects from the simple rise of carbon dioxide by what seems to be small amounts. Will humankind follow to extinction as the earth attempts to right the balance in itself?

At some point, we're going to need to switch from carbon based fuels to something else. We're harming the earth faster than it can repair itself. And we may be the victims of our own actions.
