There was a time in this country (click here) when the word ecosystem was important above Wall Street profits. It is far less so today.

There are also words misused today when people dialogue about an ecosystem. 

An ecosystem is not a food web. A food web exists within an ecosystem. It is the ecosystem, it's diversity and complexity that must be understood and appreciated in order to protect Earth's biosphere. There are no substitutions. Scientists are not deliberately trying to be difficult or putting species before people. There are reasons for the biosphere and it is important we all appreciate what it is and why it is important.

As the Third World takes on the challenges of quality of life for it's people, there will be issues with environmental changes. It is important scientists are involved to minimize the impacts of a changing society and it's need for health and good food. 

There is a balance. I promise you that. It is important we reach a balance with Earth and it is not up for negotiations.

I'll address Articles 21 through 28 of Kyoto next week. Then what is left are the Annexes which is the week after.
