Wil's Rant

Scientists are now saying they can show a direct link between the arctic and the start of industrialization. I don't find anything here very surprising, although I'm glad they are doing the study.

Meanwhile, all holds are off when it comes the the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. Bush has won his battle to let his buddies in there with their oil drills, a move that has many opponents including Canada. It doesn't matter what anyone else says, there's no stopping him now. Can you say "many years of happy consulting for the oil industry" following his retirement from office? Like father, like son!

Kleenex continues full steam ahead with it's practice of using old growth forests for bathroom tissue. Despite years of efforts from Greenpeace and many others, they persist. There has been a great deal of positive change in this industry in regards to the environment. It is no longer possible to excuse companies that refuse to act responsibly. Kimberley Clark must be forced to make the change through lack of sales. If nothing else will work, this will. The choice is all of ours.

And finally, this piece about the consequences for Canada should the warming trend continue unabated.
