Happy Thanksgiving, turkey. Duck!

Think we're safe? Remember successful survivor Tweety Bird saying "I thought I saw a puddy cat sneakin' up on me." Ask yourself why you didn't learn until now that:

...July 7, 2003: The Codex Alimentarius Commission, a United Nations affiliate that establishes food safety standards on behalf of more than 160 nations, rules that any food can be irradiated at any dose. The ruling is enforceable through the World Trade Organization...

The Carbon Age:
How Life's Core Element has Become Civilization's Greatest Threat

...Signals are pointing in the wrong direction. The Global Carbon Project is a scientific consortium founded in 2001 to fill in gaps in scientific understanding of the carbon cycle. Researchers have documented a trifecta of trends that are accelerating man-made CO2 emissions. From 2000 to 2006 the annual growth in emissions rose from 1.3 percent to 3.3 percent. Increased coal burning has at least temporarily reversed a thirty-year trend and caused the carbon intensity of every dollar of world economic output to inch upward. (Critics of this study say three years of data does not constitute a long-term trend.) That means for every unit of world output, more carbon is released into the atmosphere. In 2002 and 2003 the Mauna Loa Observatory registered the first back-to-back atmospheric CO2 increases greater than 2 ppm.

Finally, carbon sinks in land and sea are filling up. Carbon has fewer places to hide...

..."...far from being self-stabilizing, the Earth's climate system is an ornery beast which overreacts even to small nudges," writes Wallace Broecker, a leader in modern Earth system science at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. If a climate has a weak push, nonlinear change can develop seemingly out of nowhere. Anthropogenic [human-caused] climate change is not a weak push. Scientists call geophysical stressors on the climate forcings, or aberrations in the radiation budget...warming is already built into the system, even if our cars and power plants stopped burning carbon tomorrow...

From a human perspective, many things are predicted to go wrong...Some scientists already recognize humanity's impact on biodiversity as the sixth major extinction since the Cambrian Period. The Southern Ocean (Antarctic Ocean) has already shown a decreased appetite for dissolving carbon The land ecosystems that absorb atmospheric carbon will probably peak before 2050 and possibly reverse, becoming part of the problem rather than part of the solution...

...Human speed has crunched the geologic timescale in half a century. Events that typically unfold over many thousands or millions of years have begun to occur within a human life span...
