They are being recognized . . .
for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.
This we know. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth.
This we know.

Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.

I've always liked that quote of Chief Seattle. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting this.
