[...] We pollute the air, land and water while changing the climate in ways that we can barely grasp, much less understand. The world is falling apart around us. [...]

I think if this situation is a real threat then goverments should show some balls and do something for real instaed of just making a show and then taking a cut. For example they say that cars etc are one of the things that cause global warming then why don’t they ban them. Okay maybe thats a bit drastic but they could ban cars over a certain size but then most of them drive around in big cars don’t they, also they make loads in taxes on big cars. Maybe they should ban all present days cars then it will perhaps get someone focused on making something thats okay with the environment. You might find this all stupid but I know people who just see high fuel taxes etc as a way for the govenment to make cash so won’t take anything about the global situation seriously. Well thats what I think.

For myself, I’ve read Geo-4’s Foreword, Preface and Reader’s Guide, skimmed the sections on Land and Interlinkages, and read the summarised Main Messages in all the other sections. I don’t know how I’m going to do it, but I intend reading the whole thing over the coming weeks.

But for now, I need some sleep.

Bloggers have been only a little better at mentioning Geo-4, but most have failed to engage with what the report is saying and merely quote from sections of it. And there are almost no posts tagged "Geo4" or "Geo-4" - a handful on WordPress, none on Technorati and two on Icerocket.

It's surprisingly difficult to find much coverage of the Geo-4 report in the mainstream media, but for further reading try: Natural decline hurting lives Environmental failures put humanity at risk Survival of man rests on climate change action 20 years on, world in dire straits, UN says
