Insurance Giant on Global Warming Threat Saturday 6 March 2004 GENEVA - The world's second-largest reinsurer Swiss Re warns that the costs of global warming threaten to spiral out of control, forcing the human race into a catastrophe of its own making.

Environmental Defense Fund More than thirty years after the first Earth Day, the issue of global warming is heating up. Now, in the face of ominous climactic trends, let's reflect on what's happened and what needs to happen to halt the arresting evidence out there that global warming is real... and it's putting our Earth at risk.

Pentagon Analysis on Global Warming Threat Global warming may be bad news for future generations, but let's face it, most of us spend as little time worrying about it as we did about al Qaeda before 9/11. Like the terrorists, though, the seemingly remote climate risk may hit home sooner and harder than we ever imagined. In fact, the prospect has become so real that the Pentagon's strategic planners are grappling with it. Full PDF Version Here

New York Times on Global Warming Although much remains unknown about the potential impact of rising temperatures, experts say there should be no further delay in acting to limit climate change.

Day After Tommorrow LOS ANGELES, May 11 — Any studio that makes a $125 million movie about global warming is courting controversy. But 20th Century Fox does not seem to have fully anticipated the political firestorm being whipped up by its film "The Day After Tomorrow."

Skeleton Coast, Namibia Next Casualty? Parts of Namibia's exotic Skeleton Coast could be submerged by the end of the century and its rich marine life badly hit by global warming, a report by the southern African country's environment and tourism ministry warns. The 1,500-kilometre (937-mile) Namibian coastline -- which hosts tourist hotspots because of its unspoilt beauty and wildlife -- is dotted with ghostly shipwrecks, a testimony to the unforgiving Atlantic stretch that gives it its name.A 130-page report, released last week for the UN's Framework Convention on Climatic Change, painted a bleak picture on the impact of global warming on the coastline and on the Benguela current running alongside.

Facts on Global Warming by Mikhail Gorbachev GORBACHEV | There is no doubt that reducing greenhouse gases will have costs -- it will take spending money, products may be more expensive, and it will affect competition. That can't be denied. But what is the alternative? Climate change is real, and its costs for the whole planet will be very real. These problems can be solved, especially as we modernize industry with environmental concerns in mind.

Effects on Coral Reefs in the Seychelles Global warming triggered the death of between 50 and 98 percent of coral reefs in a region stretching from northern Mozambique to Eritrea to Indonesia in 1998 and although there has been some recovery, scientists remain concerned. "We have reason to believe that if climate changes continue due to the carbon dioxide that is being pumped into the atmosphere, the temperatures at ground level and in the oceans will go up," Dr. Carl Lundin, head of the marine program of the Swiss-based World Conservation Union (IUCN), said. "So virtually all the coralline islands have a decent chance of disappearing in 50 years," Lundin stated in Victoria, the capital of the Seychelles.

‘I felt very calm and peaceful amongst the dolphins. As animals they seem incredibly elegant, sophisticated
and friendly, and as a human I felt like a fortunate visitor. I find it difficult to explain more about this
experience, but it surely has been an unique and beautiful one in my life, which makes me feel somehow
much more centred’. -Jean Louis Bosc :: Lyon, France
