Global warming, capitalism's inconvenient truth
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/back/2006/684/684p11.htm>

Al Gore describes global warming as the greatest crisis humanity has

US, for not joining most of the rest of the world on climate change,
especially the Howard government's refusal to ratify the UN?s Kyoto
Protocol. [Full article]

Lage, vice-president of Cuba's Council of State, at the Non-Aligned
Movement summit in Havana. [Full article]
