"The company's coal-burning power plants at Four Corners Generating Station at Fruitland, New Mexico, and its Mohave Generating Station in Laughlin, Nevada, contribute to global warming. Indeed, coal is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gases. (Interestingly, although nuclear power presents environmental problems due to toxic waste?" - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the global warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "All of these carbon-based gases are either directly alleged to be or are the end products of processes connected to global warming. There are many sources of VOCs in your home, but certainly the products you bring into your home—from air fresheners and hairsprays to tile cleaners and paints—are a major source. In addition, VOCs are released from carpets, new furniture, and cabinetry with urea-formaldehyde resins in the wood, as well as all sorts of plastics. I remember buying the kids some rubber chicken toys the other day." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the global warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "We can address the war on terrorism and global warming at the same time. We have to. As a publisher, I have learned that many different kinds of good people hunger to express their patriotism during these times and to do good things for their country. They really care and want to be leaders. But how do people become leaders when so much of the time they are feeling powerless? It's a question I've been asking and why I went on this trip. I needed to undergo a change in consciousness and live the change. I didn't want to be politically impotent in my personal life any longer." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the global warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Also, increasingly scientific evidence is mounting that must be taken seriously: manufacturing and processing of petroleum and fossil fuels and petrochemicals is not only a great source of industrial might, they are also alleged to be linked with global warming. These selfsame chemicals are also clearly causing long-term, multigenerational damaging effects on our reproductive health—this unbridled dependency on fossil fuels almost exclusively places a great nation in a vulnerable position." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the global warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Taking on global warming Addressing the challenge of infectious diseases also means taking action against global warming. Elevated temperatures may increase the number and distribution of insects such as mosquitoes that carry diseases like malaria; may promote bacterial growth leading to greater risk of food poisoning and diarrheal disease; and may warm waters and promote flooding, amplifying the risk of waterborne infections such as cholera." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Under her leadership, NRDC has launched major initiatives on global warming, oil dependence, reviving the oceans, saving wild places, stemming the tide of toxic chemicals, and the greening of China. Ms. Beinecke has worked with NRDC for more than thirty years. Prior to becoming president in 2006, she was the organization's executive director for eight years, during which time NRDC's membership doubled and the staff grew to over 300. Ms." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"As Al Gore and others have taught us, we can all make small changes in our lives to combat global warming by: ?Recycling ?Driving less and walking more ?Carpooling or taking public transportation ?Flying less ?Reducing our reliance on air-conditioning and heating •Using energy-efficient products ?Choosing green energy for our homes ?Supporting public efforts to pursue alternative sources of energy ?" - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Choose behaviors that protect against global warming. EPILOGUE Thinking Like a Mountain: The Future of Aging The world revolves, not around the creators of new noises, but the creators of new values. ?Friedrich Nietzsche One of my favorite things to do is to hike in the mountains, which have long served as a source of inspiration to mankind. While visiting Oslo, Norway, in 2006,1 sought out a ninety-year-old philosopher named Arne Naess, a colorful character who lived part of the year in a shack nestled in the mountains." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"It is this shadow of the Culture of Death in which diabetes is a pandemic symptom and our primary challenge here. global warming is a similar symptom out of the shadow of the Culture of Death. The very life of the planet is at stake, but the world has been in denial and now, even admitting the problem, the world refuses to change its high C02-producing lifestyle while giving lip service to how important it is to do so." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"A cultural shift in the last few years alone has brought the topic of toxins to the forefront of the general public's attention, right alongside the issue of global warming. The two do, after all, go hand in hand in a lot of ways. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the onslaught of stories relating the insidious, long-lasting effects toxins can have on our bodies, on our planet, and the future of both. People increasingly seek the knowledge and secrets to leading healthy, robust lives. Who doesn't want to participate in life to the fullest, with abundant energy?" - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"If our environment is neglected and toxic, watch out, our perimenopause or menopausal years will be tumultuous, sort of like a sudden global warming. 13 We women are hormonally diverse creatures. Most women in their forties don't think that they are candidates for using hormones. Sure, thirty- or forty-something women are thinking about exercise and vitamins, but not hormones. And who can blame them? Hormones have taken on a scary aura in the press. Athletes are disgraced for using them. We are frightened by reports of cancer and strokes." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"An ironist can therefore take some intellectual pleasure in the notion that the origins of twenty-first-century global warming may be traced back to the dust-veil caused global cooling of the mid-sixth. troops needed to be fed, and the grain tax imposed by the Romans in order to do so provided the impetus for a substantial grain trade that would, in the course of time, provide a dangerous lure for infectious disease." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"The militarization problem, the developmental problem, the ecological problem, the population problem, and the many problems of energy and raw materials will not be overcome merely by reducing the number of already useless nuclear warheads nor by signing politically softened treaties on world trade, global warming, biological diversity, and sustainable development. More is required today than piecemeal action and short-term problem solving." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "Bali—acknowledged that evidence for global warming is "unequivocal" and that delays in reducing greenhouse gas emissions increase the risk of "severe climate change impacts." Although the U.S. continued to show reluctance to accept the economic costs and consequences of cutting emissions, no country in the world could contest any longer that ominous changes in the climate are actually taking place and that coping with them calls for urgent internationally orchestrated action." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "This would double atmospheric levels of the gas, leading to a 10 percent to 25 percent increase in global warming. Changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere trigger alterations in the climate. Climate change has already reached the danger point. Temperatures in the western Arctic are at a 400-year high, and in September of 2005 satellite pictures testified that the extent of the Arctic ice cap is 20 percent below the long-term average for the month of September. If this trend continues the Arctic Ocean will be completely ice free before the end of the century and perhaps before." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"He joined Exxon two days after resigning from his post (following a media scandal about his rewording of documents on global warming). It's not surprising that commercial logging occurs in national forests and parks given the fact that, from 1998 to 2002, the head of the Forest Service was Mark Rey a former timber-industry lobbyist. The director of the USDA's Food Marketing and Inspection Service was also the president of the National Cattleman's Association. The secretary of agriculture had also been the president of the American Meat Packers Association." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"I sometimes tell my friends at the NIH that global warming is a bigger threat than Alzheimer's disease and joke that when the ocean levels rise and flood Washington and the NIH headquarters in Maryland, the "march to progress" against AD will look pretty inconsequential. It's a sardonic joke, of course, but the point about broadening and realigning our priorities is often well taken. alzheimer's goes to washington In 1979 the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association was created in Washington, D.C." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"They are especially interested in the reaction of marine plants to global warming, as these plants are the primary shock absorbers of excess carbon dioxide. Algae provide oxygen and other benefits to plant and animal marine life. Algae offer a little wall of protection to the creatures of the sea from the worse excesses of man. I reconsidered my resistance to Acetabularia as a test subject. Algae might be critical to our survival. The health of most life in the seas depends on these lowly, single-celled creatures, and the seas, like the rain forests, represent the lungs of the Earth." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"Older varieties will be used to breed crops that can keep up with global warming, mutating pests and other threats. As Jack Harlan, a plant hunter who collected more than twelve thousand varieties in over forty-five countries, once wrote, "These resources stand between us and catastrophic starvation on a scale we cannot imagine. In a very real sense, the future of the human race rides on these materials." The worldwide network of botanical gardens is humanity's effort to preserve our plant heritage. Because many of them are in politically unstable regions, their genetic material is in danger." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Being able to show that mass intention could rescue a sample of algae might demonstrate that our thoughts could combat something as potentially devastating as global warming. On March 1, 2006,1 traveled to Germany to meet Popp and his colleagues at the IIB laboratory on Museum Island in Hombroich, west of Diissel-dorf. The "island's" innovative architecture had first been built to serve the eccentric needs of a millionaire art collector turned Buddhist, Karl Hein-rich Miiller, who had nowhere to house his vast collection of painting and sculpture." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "If we were successful, the implications would be enormous: collective thoughts might be able to help cure global warming. But when we began investigating a possible study design, we discovered that an ecosphere would have to be entirely enclosed in order to control moisture and temperature. Unless we had one specially built, the scientists would have a near impossible problem: the equipment they had available to take measurements of any changes would introduce outside influences (such as air temperature) into the hermetic environment and skew our results." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"This year it is fifty degrees in February and no snow, how odd, but not surprising given the changing weather patterns across the planet due to global warming. I place my hand in the track, cupping it sideways to make a moon shape. My hand fits so nicely in the grooved-out spot, made by a big fellow or maybe a gal. Where do these wanderings lead? Probably to the striped maple also known as moosewood—a favorite delicacy at this time of year. I stop at a striped maple and nibble a twig, very astringent, but there, on the back of my tongue, almost sweet." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Others argue for the impact of global warming and hotter weather on growing rates of infectious diseases. In Al Gore's 2006 movie An Inconvenient Truth, a disturbing chart cites rising rates of illnesses, among them SARS, malaria, Ebola virus, and avian flu. The documentary's accompanying Web site states that with continued warming, deaths from climate-related illness are expected to rise sharply over the next two decades, according to projections by the World Health Organization." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "These pages lay bare this "inconvenient truth"— one as disturbing to today's top scientists as global warming. My hope is that the chapters you are about to read will awaken a deep understanding about how the environmental changes of the industrial age and our twenty-first-century lifestyles are wreaking havoc with the immune cells of our own bodies. We are our environment. What we put into it, we also put into ourselves. What we do to it, we also do to ourselves." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "The Autoimmune Epidemic is every bit as compelling as Upton Sinclair's groundbreaking novel The Jungle and every bit as necessary as An Inconvenient Truth, the startling movie featuring Al Gore and directed by Davis Guggenheim, that shows us that global warming is upon us and may at some point in the near future be irreversible. You will leave this book with no reservations about the veracity of the conclusions: put simply, there is no doubt that autoimmune diseases are on the rise and our increasing environmental exposure to toxins and chemicals is fueling this rise. The research is sound." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Had we applied the precautionary principle to global warming, whole pieces of the polar ice caps would not now be crashing into the Arctic Sea. Although the European Union is moving toward requiring companies to register thousands of chemicals with a new regulatory agency that places the burden on industry to prove that chemicals are safe, rather than on scientists to prove that they are unsafe, that is quite the opposite of the way we do business in the United States." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Being integrative means that a doctor should see the patient in a broader scope—as a person with a medical problem living in a community that produces both stress and pleasure, as a person living in an environment that could be pleasant or horrible, and as a person living in a world filled with challenges ranging from terrorism to global warming. Most of us don't think about these global problems every minute of every day, yet we hear about them every time we turn on the evening news or pick up a newspaper." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Other signs of these conditions might include bloating, weight loss, SIGNIFICANT FACT Burping and farting are no laughing matters when it comes to global warming.The gas expelled by cows and other livestock is responsible for nearly 20% of methane emissions worldwide. Nitrogen-rich manure also adds to the problem.The situation is even worse in New Zealand, where a whopping 60% of greenhouse gas emissions come from livestock. vomiting blood, and bloody stools. (See The Scoop on Poop, below.) Finally, excessive burping with severe nausea or vomiting may be danger signs of a heart attack." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.)

"Other places are predicted to become wetter as global warming leads to a more vigorous hydrological cycle. More frequent high-intensity rainfall events are predicted to substantially increase rainfall erosivity in New England, the mid-Atlantic states, and the Southeast. Models of soil erosion predict from 20 percent to almost 300 percenr increases—depending upon how farmers respond to changing rainfall patterns. Global warming and accelerated erosion are not the only problems facing agricultural land." - David R. Montgomery, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"The cause of asthma's continued rise over the years has researchers scratching their heads and looking at a wide spectrum of possible causes, including pollution, global warming, food additives, genetics, toxins, and allergens. Recently it has been discovered that large increases in the number of asthma sufferers in the American Southwest, the Caribbean, and Central American regions seem to have been brought on by drought-caused sub-Saharan dust and mold spores being swept across the Atlantic by prevailing winds—winds that have recently changed due to the effects of global warming." - Phyllis A.
