Grave danger?

As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill. -Helen Keller

A study, by scientists at the World Health Organization (WHO) determined that 154,000 people die every year from the effects of global warming, from malaria to malnutrition, children in developing nations seemingly the most vulnerable. These numbers could almost double by 2020.

Getting electricity is a matter of life and death for about a third of the world's population. Africa has coal and oil, but the greens say these must be left untouched. This is barbaric. To try to restrict the world's poorest people to using the most expensive and unreliable forms of electrical generation (wind and solar) is effectively to tell them they can't have electricity.

One thing seems to be sure.. The earth is heating up..
The discussion is whether human activity caused this or not.. This discussion is critical as this leads to what we can do to prevent global warming (if at all this needs to be prevented, which again is a point of discussion)..

All said and done, global warming aside, no one can deny the fact that man induced greenhouse gases are doing no good to the earth or it's inhabitants (even if they do not cause global warming). It would be a good initiative if we consider carbon footprint as one of the parameters judging our progress.
