Directly from the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Mr. Frank Princiotta, Retired Director of the Air Pollution, Prevention, & Control Division discusses the immediate and longer range impact of Global Warming. The present circumstances (catastrophic floods, hurricanes, tornados....) seem invisible to the general public, yet continue to worsen.

Causes? Whether one believes it is earth's natural progression or that global warming was caused by man - there is already irreversible damage that mankind must deal with as the keepers of this planet.

Mr. Princiotta emphasized that a bleak outlook (world draughts, famine) would be a future reality if global warming goes unchecked. He discussed the distinct indicators that point toward a faster realization of these events in our near future.  He discussed the "Hothouse" Earth... in which the rising earth temperature would change the entire planet - limiting man's ability to survive on earth at the same level we now take for granted.

We also discussed at length the ways in which man can slow down this crisis and begin to address it through renewable energy sources (wind and solar) and the expansion of existing technology to place renewable energy into usable rechargeable batteries for smaller electric devices & potentially automobiles. The need for large investments to be delegated into this research & innovation was clear. Mr. Princiotta has a collection of 17 Environmental Songs which can be found here: (he recommends Song 2: Just Ours to Loan).
