Our poor world :(

Yeah I couldn't believe it when father of the green movement was stating nuclear power is the only way to save the planet. that really scared me. The first episode is repeated Tomorrow morning at 02:30 if you want to catch it.

It was really scary to realise that we could be wiped out in a matter of years, rather than decades if we don't do anything now. The sad fact is, nothing will change, or at least, not enough will change, and in 10 - 20 years time there will be no going back. Damage will have been done, and it will be too late.

Losing humans from this planet will certainly be no great loss, after all, we caused this mess. But other species of plant and animal that is lost will be a loss to this once beautiful planet.

Did you find out when the repeats were on? Might be worth posting another post giving times incase anyone wants to watch them. If they repeat the second one as well as the first that would be good.

There is another documentary on BBC2 on Thursday night at 20:00 detailing that the amount of light from the sun has dimmed in the last 30 years which could be masking even worse climate change still to come.

Scary stuff.

Note to self buy a house a long way above sea level!

Yeah! I felt sorry for the owners of the 200,000 or so homes that the insurance companies will no longer insure due to the increase risk of flooding. Their house value has dropped like a stone. I see its the same story again this week in Carlisle.

Apparantly the Tsunami earthquake knocked the earth's axis out by an inch. Gaia fighting back?

Yeah thats amazing isn't it? I don't think it'll make much of a difference though.
