International political action was called for recently to counter the threat of global warming caused by pollutants.
While scientists still must “refine the state of our knowledge” about the causes and effects of the threat, we can probably not afford to wait until all of the uncertainties have been resolved before we do act”, a spokeman said. “Time will not make the problem go away,” he said.
While scientists seek more information about global warming, policy makers should now “focus immediately on prudent steps that are already justified on grounds other than climate change.”

We've heard about the ozone effect for almost forty years, That it is not close to solution could leave a thinker to tears. Another conference has begun, working furiously in committee, Unclear precisely what to do, except to meet next year in Tahiti.
Such conferences are fueled with broad words of bureaucrats, While the problem needs a narrow attack (and with a baseball bat ! ) Their words, noxious and fuelish contribute to the task, We're running out of time and that wasted, indeed, our very last.
The ozone hole in the atmosphere is, sadly known, man made, To plug it needs a Hole-y War, a modern day Crusade, The problem is man's survival. Let's meet it face-to-face, With thought, compassion, and alacrity. We're in a human race.
If corporate egos need to be thrashed and wallet size reduced, Let's do it. If we don't and perish, it will readily be deduced That corporations are the culprits and to them we will bequeath The whole world as their market with no "bottom-line" beneath.
So the corporate lobbyists with their profits so convincing Must be ignored. Supportive arguments, which they are evincing Be turned around, so as to their corporate efforts redirect, To turn out products that Earth's survival don't negatively affect.
A journey of a thousand miles with a single step begins. This conference can not correct the world's industrial sins. But can enable that gutsy first step and do it with aplomb, By banning all spray cans. Do away with the aerosol bomb !
Some good thoughts not easily carried out until it may be too late. Corporations turned into “citizens” can run roughshod over governments and the landscape in less we stand up and say, “No.” We shouldn't be lulled into the idea that “free market forces will always tend toward the good.” When the same forces are based on purely monetary values.
The symbiotic pattern of evolution is everywhere and allows us a very different and fascinating window into the way symbiotic viruses work, since all viruses are symbiotic, including those involved in our human reproduction.

Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus
