The 800 Pound Gorilla?
By Louise
A study by Britain's Met Office Hadley Center, similar to a U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report last week, said climate changes are now outpacing worst-case scenarios forecast as recently as 2007. Global temperatures may be 4 degrees Celsius hotter by the mid-2050s if current greenhouse gas emissions trends continue, said the study published on Monday. Meanwhile, the oil and coal industries are throwing hundreds of millions of dollars at lobbying congress and campaign contributions, and ramping up huge and expensive television advertising campaigns, which both influence public opinion and also influence the big networks not to do any investigative journalism about the behind-the-scenes influence of these dirty carbon industries on both Congress and the Media.
In strange news....Hey - He's really hairy and huge, his table manners are off the wall, but he'd like to be your friend on Facebook. His name is Muhozi and he's an endangered Ugandan mountain gorilla, who's appearing online as part of a fundraising program for the Ugandan Wildlife Authority to help save the species.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
