{"quotes":[{"text":"I have been speaking to you all of your life. In the gurgle of a tide pool, I breathed myself into you. I drew you down from the trees and I lifted you onto your feet. I freed your hands to become your tools so that you would cradle me in my old age, but you have turned on me. My strongest warrior for life, you have been transformed into an insatiable messenger of death. Only a few of my children are still listening when I howl to them, crying in the night, sending the oceans in great surges to cleanse my land -- to cleanse, and to warn you who no longer listen. I WILL BE HEARD.","author":"Sarah Warden","tags":["dystopian-fiction","earth","earth-day","gaia","global-warming","vampire-romance","vampire-series","witches"],"id":9257,"author_id":"Sarah+Warden"},{"text":"Faced with an ecological crisis whose roots lie in this disengagement, in the separation of human agency and social responsibility from the sphere of our direct involvement with the non-human environment, it surely behoves us to reverse this order of priority. I began with the point that while both humans and animals have histories of their mutual relations, only humans narrate such histories. But to construct a narrative, one must already dwell in the world and, in the dwelling, enter into relationships with its constituents, both human and non-human. I am suggesting that we rewrite the history of human-animal relations, taking this condition of active engagement, of being-in-the-world, as our starting point. We might speak of it as a history of human concern with animals, insofar as this notion conveys a caring, attentive regard, a 'being with'. And I am suggesting that those of us who are 'with' animals in their day-to-day lives, most notably hunters and herdsmen, can offer us some of the best possible indications of how we might proceed.","author":"Tim Ingold","tags":["animals","anthropology","ecology","global-warming","humanity","hunter-gatherer"],"id":21565,"author_id":"Tim+Ingold"},{"text":"...Trying to predict whether global warming will moderate the next ice age is not only impossible but irrelevant. It doesn't help us get through the next few centuries. And one can only imagine our future, shivering, ice age descendants cursing us for leaving them no fossil fuel to create a global warming 'greenhouse' effect when one is really needed.","author":"John Harte","tags":["environment","global-warming","humour"],"id":33454,"author_id":"John+Harte"},{"text":"We all are travelers traveling on a very big spaceship called Earth.

Therefore to try to pass of global warming as real just because '98% of scientists say they agree' makes no sense at all.
