Nice article, awesome facts.

I’m looking forward to my 15min presentation in the university, I will record and upload it to youtube. Since it will be in german, I’ll subtitle it, so that if you care, you’ll be able to check it out!

Greetings from Germany!

It wasn’t called Global Warming then, but the changes were so pronounced (and Global Popuation exploding) that in 1960 I decided to never have children – I didn’t want to contribute to over-population, and I didn’t want my kids to live through Global Warming. I still live up to my pledge.

This video is 17+ minutes, but if you care about your family, your Mother Earth, it a well spent 17 minutes. Hansen’s facts are undeniable.

DO NOT have any more than TWO kids. I don’t care what the Churches say, they are lving in the Dark Ages. And, it just isn’t fair to them, you, your children and grandchildren or Mother Earth.

10 children who have 10 children who have 10 children is 1,000 Great-Grandchildren.

5 X 5 X 5 is 125 – and that can happen in your lifetime.

Are you listening Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum?

Another excellent Ted Talks is E.O. Wilson on saving life on Earth. We and the Earth are in trouble and I am doing everything I can to reduce my impact and educate people. It is such a beautiful planet and so deserving of protection.

It is time for the world to wake up!
