Global Warming is really not a political issue, it is disguised as a political issue. It is a moral issue, it is an ethical issue. If we allow this to happen, we will destroy the habitability of the planet. We can't do that, and I am confident we won't do that.
- Al Gore

The scientific community has reached a consensus that global warming is real and that human activities are causing the warming trend. Global temperatures have steadily risen over the last century, with 4 of the 5 warmest years occurring in the past 5 years.

Real Goods Catalog:: Sun Pure Under-Counter Purifier (Desk & Table Lamps) Real Goods Catalog:: Sun Pure Under-Counter Purifier (Desk & Table Lamps)

If local water supplies leave you feeling concerned about safety, this new ultraviolet water purifier utilizes a six-step system that should put your mind at ease.Step One: Cleans the water: Large, heavy duty sediment filters remove dirt, rust, scale, silt, and other suspended particles, including cysts such as cryptosporidium and giardia, to produce sparkling clean, clear water. Step Two: Removes chemicals: A molded carbon block filter removes chlorine, chloroform-carbon tetrachloride-benzene, chlorinated solvents, herbicides, pesticides and other related volatile organic hydrocarbons.Step Three: Removes heavy metals: The lead-sorbent matrix mixed with the carbon block filter irreversibly locks onto any lead, reducing the concentration well below EPA guidelines.Step Four: Reduces fluorides and heavy metals: Activated tricalcium phosphate removes fluoride and metals such as aluminum and copper through adsorption and ion exchange processes.Step Five: Removes chemicals, bad tastes, and odors: Granular activated carbon is used to adsorb chemical contaminants of light molecular weight such as chlorinated compounds and radon.Step Six: Destroys microorganisms: After going through the above five steps, your water will then pass through an ultraviolet sterilization chamber to destroy disease causing viruses, bacteria and parasites.Both the countertop and undercounter models measure 11.5" high x 15" wide x 7.5" deep, weigh 12 pounds, and have a flow rate of 1/2 to 3/4 gallons per minute.

I tell you one thing I'm not going to do is I'm not going to let the United States carry the burden for cleaning up the world's air.
- George W. Bush, 2000

...if you think about it, if we're smart and have got a strategic vision and a leader who understands strategic planning, to make sure that we change the terms of the battlefield of the future so we can keep the peace. This is a peaceful nation, and I intend to keep the peace. Spending money is one thing. But spending money without a strategic plan can oftentimes be wasted.
- George W. Bush, 2000
Did you know?
Big oil companies have been funding junk science and biased research designed to confuse and misinform the public by creating uncertainties about the realities of global warming.

ExxonMobil, an oil giant that generates its huge profits from the fossil fuels that contribute to global warming, gave $15,000,000 (15 million dollars) to organizations designed to challenge science's conclusions on global warming.

George W. Bush consistently misleads the public on environment issues. One of his administration's first actions was to withdraw the United States from Kyoto, a global effort to reduce climate change. In 2002, his republican administration released the ridiculously titled "Clean Skies" initiative, which weakened the Clean Air Act and was in effect a license for companies pollute more. That same year, his administration introduced the "Healthy Forest Initiative", which was basically a giveaway of our national forests to the logging industry. His administration has continued to introduce legislation that weakens protection of natural areas and national parks, and has even gone as far as nominating officials with ties to polluters to head the EPA!
