Truthout contributor Bill Henderson writes: "Humanity today, collectively, must face the uncomfortable fact that industrial civilization itself has become the principal driver of global climate. If we stay our present course, using fossil fuels to feed a growing appetite for energy-intensive lifestyles, we will soon leave the climate of the Holocene, the world of human history. The eventual response to doubling preindustrial atmospheric CO2 likely would be a nearly ice-free planet."

Study Finds Climate Target Is Not Radical Enough

Ed Pilkington, reporting for The Guardian UK, writes: "One of the world's leading climate scientists warns today that the EU and its international partners must urgently rethink targets for cutting carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because of fears they have grossly underestimated the scale of the problem. In a startling reappraisal of the threat, James Hansen, head of the Nasa Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, calls for a sharp reduction in CO2 limits."

Wenn ein Bauer einen Hektar Raps anbaut, kann er pro Jahr etwa 16.000 Kilowattstunden Energie ernten. Wenn er auf derselben Fläche eine Photovoltaik-Anlage errichtet, kann er 60.000 KWh Solarstrom produzieren. Wenn er aber auf seinem Acker ein Windrad installiert, erntet er sechs Millionen KWh Windstrom.

According to Jayalakshmi K. in The Deccan Herald, "Ocean deserts, which are non-productive areas, have increased by 15 percent in the period 1998-2007, according to a study done by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US and the University of Hawaii. This translates into a total of 6.6 million square kilometers. On the whole, there are 51 million square kilometers of such desert zones."
