present:

"Earth on Fire:"
A Series of Fireside Conversations on Global Warming

"I hate the bloodless term, 'climate change.' The phrase removes the sense of urgency from the public's mind... It's not just 'change.' It is dramatic warming, the loss of winter snows, the increase of insect damage to crops, the loss of productive land. It is not change...it is 'Earth on fire.'" Professor John Bonine
