From BBC News - 25 October 2007
GO4: Humans failing the sustainability audit
By Richard Black
Environment correspondent, BBC News website
With its Geo-4 report, the United Nations tells us that most aspects of the Earth's natural environment are in decline; and that the decline will affect us, the planet's human inhabitants, in some pretty important ways.
Geo-4 provides a check-up on the health of the planet. Feel like you have heard it before? Of course you have, not least from the UN. So what, you might ask, is special about this report? Why is it worth any more than a cursory headline glance before returning to the party?

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist
18 January 2007
"Doomsday Clock" Moves Two Minutes Closer To Midnight

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock conveys how close humanity is to catastrophic destruction--the figurative midnight--and monitors the means humankind could use to obliterate itself. First and foremost, these include nuclear weapons, but they also encompass climate-changing technologies and new developments in the life sciences and nanotechnology that could inflict irrevocable harm.

Britain: Young people take action on climate change
Sixty per cent of young people, aged 8-14, are concerned that the world will suffer the effects of climate change when they are adults and more than seventy per cent of them already take action at home or school to save energy, a new survey reveals today. The results are published as part of Friends of the Earth's activity week for schools `Shout about climate change', which runs from 7-11 November 2005.
