My fear is this whole global warming crisis will bring out the worst of us, not the best. Can anyone realistically see humankind working together to kick this thing, or does the crisis have the propensity to bring out the Hitler like traits in us all? Idealistically I would like us all to work this out but realistically I see a horror that I will not spare any words on. May God have mercy on us all. ~ Paul M

Al Gore's Musical Call to Action

At the news conference Thursday announcing this summer's ambitious "Live Earth" concerts -- designed as an exercise in "mass persuasion" about threats of global warming -- Al Gore described his vision: a 24-hour musical extravaganza across seven continents, featuring as many as 150 of the world's top recording artists, introduced by an army of "celebrities and thought leaders" (think: Cameron Diaz and Richard Branson), playing before a total live audience of a million people, and reaching 2 billion more via television, radio and the Internet on July 7.

"We have to break our addiction to fossil fuels," Gov. Tim Pawlenty said in signing the legislation. The new law, which sailed through the Legislature, encourages the use of wind farms, hydroelectric power and solar energy, as well as cleaner-burning fuels.

The Senators' letter to the President

Time to Get Serious, Mr President

President Bush admitted our country has an oil addiction almost a year ago but, so far, he's done nothing. Now that Americans have elected a greener Congress, the President has a clear opportunity to get serious about kicking our oil habit and to take real steps to combat global warming.
