I Wonder What Galileo Is Doing Tonight...
I find it irresistible not to at least take a moment to wonder aloud what Galileo is doing tonight. My hope would be that the great man is resting in peace and that his head is NOT spinning in his grave. How, now, can Galileo possibly find peace when so few top-rank scientists -- all NOT members of the IPCC -- refuse to speak out clearly regarding whatsoever they believe to be true about the distinctly human predicament presented to humanity in our time by certain unbridled over growth activities of the human species that loom ominously and threaten to engulf the planetary home God has blessed us to inhabit?
Where are more leaders like Al Gore who are willing to support the good science of climate change that is being presented in the solid scientific observations and consensually validated empirical data from Dr. R.K. Pachauri and the IPCC?
Perhaps there is something in the great work of Al Gore and the 2000 scientists in the IPCC that will give Galileo a moment of peace.
What would the world we inhabit look like if scientists like Galileo adopted a code of silence, speaking only about scientific evidence which was politically convenient, religiously tolerated, economically expedient, and socially correct?
Sincerely,

Our world will be a world of
Our world will be a world of unhappiness and unpredictable situation in terms of climatic changes and wheather patterns which will eventually affact the lives of thousands and millions of people now and in future.
We all have to do what we can do in our societies and communities using the resoures we have to promote the safe and better environmental practises.
Al Gore is an exemplar of the
Al Gore is an exemplar of the kind of political leader the human community requires in Century XXI.
Rajendra Pachauri is an example of the great scientists who are following in the footsteps of Galileo.
Now, if only other political leaders like Al will speak out loudly and clearly in support of the great work of Rajendra and the IPCC scientists.
All we need is one million brave political leaders and valiant scientists among us to join humanity's newest Nobel Peace Prize Laureates.
Then the world will surely change.
Then a good enough future for children and future generations can be assured.
Then the environment will not be irreversibly degraded; the limited resources not recklessly dissipated; and the integrity of Earth will be preserved for generations to come.

wow! this is like a dream
wow! this is like a dream come through for this organisation successfully involving good and understanding, caring leaders to meet this objective. congratulations once again
Dear Colleagues of the
Dear Colleagues of the Scientific Consensus on Climate Change and Delegates to the Bali Meeting,
Thanks to you for rational proposals in a currently unreal world order dominated by unbridled, soon to be patently unsustainable economic globalization.
I like everything about what you are thinking, proposing and doing. Let me add here that your views and plans for action appear to be ones that many people will soon come to understand and appreciate.
What worries me is how much time it takes for people to share long-range views like yours and to adopt farsighted proposals like the ones you are putting forward because the necessary changes that are in store for "the masters of the universe" -- the leaders who rule the global political economy in its current, patently unsustainable form -- will find such changes categorically unacceptable. The masters of the universe among us have made it quite clear through their primary positive regard and relentless protection of unbridled global economic growth, now rampantly overspreading the surface of Earth, that they would rather see life as we know it obliterated than limit, as well as share with others, their wealth, power and privileges, I suppose.
Always,
Steve
