Reading on the BBC this morning this quote, "Hundreds of amphibian species will become extinct unless a global action plan is put into practice very soon, conservationists warn." Which, I can assure you, is factual enough.
Problem is that this isn't the message that eco-nuts need to be pressing even though it is accurate enough. I think my anger lies in the word "soon" as in: "I should do my laundry soon" or "I really should get to the gym soon".
Granted, there are those miraculously upright citizens that actually do what they should be doing when they should be doing it. Also granted, it isn't a scientists place to place emotional value judgements on their findings. But if we are going to put any global action into place soon we need to have started planning 5 years ago or more.
So here is my line in the sand. Scientists! Hear my call! People! Rally to this cause! The word isn't soon. The word is NOW!
And I mean exactly that. I've been an eco-nut for quite some time and if there are any fellow eco-nuts out there the time for us to start really yelling and clamoring about all this global warming, species dying, air pollutting, gas guzzling, strip mining, non-reusable, toxic Bullshit is NOW.
And because Frank said he wanted more pictures, I leave you with Mama-Frog. You can' tell in the picture, but this little gal is the length of a football field and lives in Antartica.... you know what she does when here home melts? Ok just kidding on that one:
