We are a culture that is recording the certainty of our destruction of the biosphere in ever more detail while accelerating toward extinction along with most other life on Earth.

The only chance for our children to have a future is for all of us to RESCUE IT - FAST!

ecoSanity.org Founder, Glenn MacIntosh's statement in the 'Founder's Imperative' about the threat of extinction within the lifetime of a child today should be hard hitting to people's complacency and denial.

I use the term extinction of humanity so as to agree with James Lovelock and David Suzuki that isolated pockets of human beings may somehow survive, but it will barely be survival as animals.

Hoping on adaptation to a planet changed beyond the experience of homo sapiens is a delusion.

Humanity's success has always been through adapting land in small ways to their regional advantage and always by burning biomass in some form.

With the exception of cold climates (Eskimos) and low number hunter-gatherers, humans are poorly adaptable and most vulnerable.

We must attempt to return the biosphere to its stable, early 1900's state, and we have a narrow, fast-closing window of opportunity to apply all our accumulated knowledge to this immense task.
