The picture at left is not trick photography. You can get the full story here.My wife and I have been breeding turtles for nearly twenty years. It's clear we have a soft spot for them. Both of us had pet turtles before we ever met.
"Mae West" in the photograph was caught in a plastic ring and grew around it. It shows the effect even our garbage has on the real world. If you want to be truly horrified, check out the TED video here.
I get the impression that we think if we correct the CO2 problem, we're home free. Not so. Our footprint on the earth is much, much larger than that. What is required of us is nothing less than rethinking our approach to living here.
It would be better if we made that choice ourselves instead of having it made for us.
