"Unfortunately, very few people in America know the real name of Hurricane Katrina because the coal and oil industries have spent millions of dollars to keep the public in doubt about the issue.
The reason is simple: To allow the climate to stabilize requires humanity to cut its use of coal and oil by 70 percent. That, of course, threatens the survival of one of the largest commercial enterprises in history." |

Global warming is a controversial issue - how much of it is natural (a part of the world's climate cycle) and how much of it is due to our industrial activities? In any case, reducing greenhouse emissions when possible is a wise thing. |
