[Again, this isn't really about CO2, is it?]: Time to Act in Defense of the Planet

Global warming and climate change is perhaps the most threatening specter we face today. Yet even if global warming were not happening, our industrial culture would still be killing the planet. The extinction of various species at a scale never before seen would still be occurring. With most of the large fish removed from the planet’s oceans and 95 percent of the world’s original forests clear-cut, sustainability of the planet’s diversity is a moot point. With rivers, streams and brooks in the continental U.S. contaminated with carcinogenic material, potable water is pushed further away from our lips. And even if we could take carbon, sulfur dioxide, and mercury from coal to burn it "cleanly" it will never be clean: mountains still have to be torn apart by excavators and ammonium nitrate to access seams of coal. Dams are killing salmon and their young. Cell-phone towers are disrupting the flight paths of migratory birds. Dioxins taint the breast milk of mothers. Uranium is handing out death sentences to the indigenous that have been forced onto lands being mined. All of this is exacerbated by global warming.

What global warming and all of these conditions have in common is they are all the results of industrial production.
