Fuel to burn, roads to drive

When it comes to the Earth and the care of the environment, I find myself agreeing with George Carlin. The Earth is fine. Nothing that we do to it will harm it in the long run. It'll shake off the plauge that is man like a Labrador Retriever shakes off pond water.

Now, mankind? The report says that we are pretty much fucking things up as badly and as quickly as we possilby can:

"The human race is living beyond its means. A report backed by 1,360 scientists from 95 countries - some of them world leaders in their fields - today warns that the almost two-thirds of the natural machinery that supports life on Earth is being degraded by human pressure".

Now, I know that the current junta doesnt like the science types that inhabit the reality-based community, but I'd be interested to know what they'll have to say about the report. Of course, they wont be asked by our "liberal media" because they've got more important matters to cover (like Jacko's trial).
