Mayan Meditation 2012

For more than 40 years, Earth has been sending out distress signals. At first they were subtle, like the thin shells of the American bald-eagle that cracked because they were laced with DDT. Then the signs were unmistakable, dissapearing coral reefs, collapsing fisheries, killed lakes, poisoned rivers, migration of nonnative species, soil depletion, desertification, buildup of carbon dioxide, accelerated north pole meltdown, polar bears extinction, climate change, and finally global warming. How did we let things get to this point? Storms have become more intense and weather patterns more erratic and will probably get worse. The past decade has been by far the hottest on record; and the rise in temperature has been the greatest in polar regions and around cities. This video clip explores these issues and the mission improbable to save our planet's living ecosystems from an impending global catastrophe beyond 2012. It's our Mayan meditation.
We congratulate Vice President Al Gore for receiving the Nobel Peace Price on October 12, 2007 for his warnings about planetary emergency and awareness about global warming.
