Rodale Institute Read #Newsweek's review of "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve #Climate Crisis"

Al Gore's Climate-Change Evolution | Newsweek Environment | Newsweek.com

Al Gore's views on climate change are advancing as rapidly as the phenomenon itself.

Gore advocates paying farmers for carbon they can sequester in the soil. Thats great. But Gore's exhaustive research is after all of the type we need at the presidential level, which the country gave us in 2000, but which Bush and the Bush court took away.

Nancy Rutman Anyone hear this Saturday's "On the Media" program on NPR? They interviewed an author who accused organic advocates of condemning millions of people to starvation. This report needs serious debunking! To listen, go to http://www.onthemedia.org/episodes/2009/10/30/segments/143501.

Is there any way to bring this series to the Emmaus Theatre? You would get a better turnout, and the carbon footprint would be a bit smaller.
