Greenpeace chief warns Erdoğan over climate change, price hikes
Greenpeace International Executive Director Kumi Naidoo has written a letter to Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, urging the leader to increase the Turkish public’s awareness of the dangers of climate change and cautioning that its repercussions may soon be severely felt.

“Death, resource scarcity, increased food prices, unstable weather conditions, further global instability [resource wars] and international migrations [resulting from floods, drought and the like] will touch your country -- and all of us,” Naidoo’s letter read.
theblogprof: Awesome: LA school built on toxic soil named after Al Gore
It's not so much an irony as it is appropriate for the global warming huckster that flies around the planet on private jets and lives in a home that consumes 45 times the energy of the average American home while warning us of our energy usage and its ill effect on our planet for a school named after him to be built on a toxic dump. The school is devoted to environmental themes. It's not irony - it's poetic justice.
