The experts in question, James Lovelock, Lester Brown and Jeffrey Sachs, are heavyweights - and they're all calling for immediate action on global climate issues.
"All three strongly agree that prompt and concerted action is needed to ensure supplies of food, energy and fresh water, and to deal with climate change, poverty and population, as well as the feedback loops that inextricably link all of these together. If it sounds to you as though these guys are concerned about, well, most everything, you're right. However, their approaches and conclusions can differ dramatically."
Lovelock is fatalistic. Brown and Sachs think the day can be saved, if we roll our sleeves up immediately. I'm too young (and, more importantly, so is my son) to give up.
