One more reason we need to rapidly pass strong laws to severely reduce our carbon output. Letting our economy bring unprecedented wealth to more people is imperiling our children’s future. Scientists have voted and have formed a consensus on the veracity of global warming. It’s beyond debate.

Update: Mankind could do with a little more perspective:

Gazing out at the Grand Canyon from the North Rim, you can’t help but feel that Al Gore’s hand-wringing over climate change is a little silly. The Grand Canyon took a billion or more years to build up, and scientists say it took a mere 750,000 or so years for the river to carve the canyon. In geologic terms, that’s a flash flood. From our perspective now, the Grand Canyon is a national treasure, but it’s really a poster child for nature’s poor land-use practices. How’s that for an inconvenient truth?
