What Paleontology can tell us about Climate Change

"Killer in Our Midst" by Dan Dorritie, details the largest known planetary extinction in the earth's history, and explains in accessible language how our planet's ecosystem can drastically change due to imbalances that have exponential ramifications...in this case methane.

Christopher Ratcliff offers a great summary and says, "Information in this book may forever change your perspective on the urgency on reducing the drivers of climate change."

He adds, "In Climate Code Red, Spratt and Sutton report a very compelling case as to why we're beyond the phase when we can "think about this." They show that global 2007 emissions exceed the worst case scenarios of climate models and why drastic actions are needed to reduce our CO2 emissions footprint."

One of my all-time favorite films is now on hulu. Great resolution for streaming video (although there are brief commercial breaks). Director Godfrey Reggio's sense of cultural landscape is nothing short of amazing, and he does a remarkable job of linking that sense to issues such as class, environmental degradation, and a critique of capitalism (a critique some might argue is underdeveloped). But he does it all without one word of narration or dialog.
