Too Little, Too Late? Part 2 of 8 - Precis of Views

The 2008 Wildscreen Festival, as ever, had a great line up of speakers, sessions, film screenings, workshops and networking events. Highlights included the gargantuan 'Too Little, Too Late?' event, which brought together Sir David Attenborough, Dr James Lovelock, John Hanke (Google Earth), and HRH Prince Carlos - an environmentalist from The Netherlands and grandson of WWF founder, Prince Bernhard. These four great minds discussed at length the most pressing environmental issues that the world now faces.

humanity needs an enema

[smacdon]

that's scary:

The number of people breathing on the earth is 4 times the amount put into the atmosphere as all the aircraft.

Adding people, pets and livestock contributes to 23% of the total CO2 input.

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings.

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Percy Shelley

[phiAndpi]

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

Humanity needs a change of heart!

Check out William Tarkovsky's youtube eco-video The Book of New Creation...

I wish all the unemployed sceptics and teens with only one hand on the keyboard would keep their opinions to themselves. Opinions are like arseholes, everone has one and they all stink! You know you are doing your cause damage with such careless words.

The Bilderberg Group will stop at nothing it seems

in there quest to regain there lost power....

Population 2150? Try 50,000,000,000 no problem at all.........
