Thank-you Dr. David Suzuki, for speaking the truth.....it is unfortunate that our own Conservative Govt under Stephen Harper still doesnt "get it".....but thats what happens when you are beholden to the fundamentalist Christian right, and his cronies in the Alberta oil patch....

The biosphere will not die within 100 years, but it will in time. As it should, over the coming centuries the old world will fade away and be replaced by one designed by and for mankind. With nuclear breeder reactors, photoelectric cells, and geothermal turbine generators we will have more than enough energy to complete our redesign of this world. Abandon the weak flesh, rejoice in the freedom and purity of steel. There is no certainty in flesh, but death. Ave Machina

You heard that wrong, he did not say that catastrophic event would occur in 10 years, he the chance to AVOID catastrophic events in the future would be lost in 10 years...meaning that we are currently waiting for an environmental catastrophe.

@Dointhupidthings Why are you so against what DZ has too say? I mean what really bothers you about a guy trying to help the planet?

[toddghall]

Humanities impact is all around you. Deforestation, polluted oceans, polluted fresh water, which is only 2% of the water on the planet and is detrimental to life, industrialized food systems, inhumane feed lots, accelerating loss of diversity, and the list could go on and on. You have had the wool pulled over your eyes in the name of profits. How ignorant do you have to be to convince yourself that Suzuki is a lying thief? If you had half his education you would only begin to see the light.

[amaroq69]

David stated that in 1990 the leading scientists issued a dire warning, & that within 10 years or so catestrophic events would occur & that 16 years later, he didn't state which catestrophic events occured or not...odd...

Ice caps melted before man existed. Temperatures rose before man existed. We have proof what happened in the past, but no proof of what will happen in the future. Just the alarmists....that's all we have. And the alarmists like Suzuki have been living high off the hog and stinking the planet up, and now they want us to change the world AND pay them for this advice...:). In the 70's, all the mentors of the present day thieves were saying there was an impending ice age...DUHHH
