"Most of us have heard how global warming could lead to a melting of the polar ice caps and a consequent rise in sea levels, leading to the flooding of lowland areas such as Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and many of the world's coastal cities, with all its ensuing problems and enormous costs. But there are other possible consequences of even greater concern. Vegetation would not be able to "migrate" as fast as the changes in climate occur; many temperate forests would vanish, adding further to climatic instability. Areas that we rely upon for much of our food, such as the grain prairies of the U." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) "During an ice age, more water is frozen in the polar ice caps, and sea levels are much lower. During the last ice age, sea levels would have been 200 to 300 feet lower than they are now. Many of the human settlements of the time would have been in low-lying areas —because it is warmer lower down, it is easier to grow crops in river valleys than on the sides of mountains, and early trade would have led to settlement around river mouths and along coastlines." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (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.)

"It appears our polar ice caps are melting and the water temperature of our seas is rapidly changing. The warm waters to the east of the United States and Mexico are setting the scene for destructive and frequent hurricanes. The cooling of the seas in Northern Europe threaten to divert the warming gulf-stream away, leading to the possibility of a new ice age in that part of the world." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"Global warming has been "tamed" and the Earth's temperature, ozone, and weather have balanced out to ensure adequate polar ice caps and predictable, normalized weather patterns and balanced environments the world over. There is clean air and water everywhere and all sources of toxic waste have been eliminated and residual toxicity cleaned up. Plagues of pests like the bark beetle have been controlled and the Earth is once again a healthy organism. The oceans are no longer polluted, and they support a healthy habitat for sea life and coral." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.) "Global warming has been "tamed" and the Earth's temperature, ozone and weather have balanced out to ensure adequate polar ice caps and predictable, normalized weather patterns and environments supportive of all life on Earth. The ecosystem has returned to balance. Governments, environmentalists and business have found a happy medium that protects animals and the Earth. No longer are any species endangered, and their numbers are regulated by nature. There is clean air and water everywhere and all forms of toxic waste have been cleaned up." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.)

"Now, the experts—and here we mean economists—are often almost as simple-minded as the politicians, but at least they do have some inkling, however dim, that if a moth flutters its wings in Uganda, the polar ice caps might shrink. Stir up a breeze in Moscow and a typhoon could hit the Philippines. Thus, economists who have been around a while have learned to have a skeptical view of policies that tout one-for-one benefits. They know there's something fishy, something amiss in the calculation." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"Evaporation, erosion of land into the water, and climate changes causing large portions of water to be frozen into polar ice caps, have all contributed to the oceans of today being saltier than they used to be when single-celled organisms were evolving. But the original "inner ocean" that multicellular organisms developed is still a part of our physiology today, and still allows each individual cell to gain its nourishment from and excrete its wastes into the fluid around it. It is called the "extracellular fluid" of our bodies. Our cells depend on it to survive." - Tanya Harter Pierce, Outsmart Your Cancer: Alternative Non-Toxic Treatments That Work (Get the book.)

"Although our lead exposure today may be less than it was in previous decades, lead pollution is still present in the atmosphere (it's even been found in the polar ice caps) and also comes from water contaminated by lead piping and from flaking paint and paint dust, pesticides, cosmetics, and industrial exposure. When intakes of the essential minerals calcium, zinc, or iron are low, lead becomes that much more toxic. Given that many people are deficient in all three, it's important to redress the balance through diet and supplements." - Patrick Holford, The New Optimum Nutrition Bible (Get the book.)

"Inhibits cell division by damage to the DNA; the most widespread pollutant, is resistant to high temperatures and corrosive acids; persists for decades from the polar ice caps to 11,000 feet under the ocean. Even low doses cause severe acne, cysts, skin discoloration, abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite, impotence, bloody urine, fatigue, and affects steroids. Take Vitamin A, and Vitamin C. PBPs 8 to 10 million people have polluted Fat tissue (80,000 PBP-tainted cows slaughtered)." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book.)
