The Daily Mail, on the 26th of March 2009, reports on a talk given by an Archbishop where he warns people that God will not intervene to stop runway climate change.
God is not going to intervene to prevent humanity from wreaking disastrous damage to the environment, the Archbishop of Canterbury warned last night as he called for a 'radical change of heart' to prevent runaway climate change.
Dr Rowan Williams said there needed to be a 'conversion' by humanity away from selfishness and greed that leads us to turn a 'blind eye' to the destruction of the environment and to our interdependence with the natural world.
Without a change of heart, Dr Williams warned, the world faced a number of 'doomsday scenarios' including the 'ultimate tragedy' of humanity gradually 'choked, drowned, or starved by its own stupidity.'

'No proof' of bee killer theory
The BBC website, on the 5th of March 2009, reports that there is no evidence of CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder) that is killing large numbers of Bees throughout the world.
Scientists say there is no proof that a mysterious disease blamed for the deaths of billions of bees actually exists, the BBC has been told.
Dr Dennis Anderson, principal research scientist on entomology with the Australian research organisation CSIRO said the term could be distracting scientists from other work:
"It's misleading in the fact that the general public and beekeepers and now even researchers are under the impression that we've got some mysterious disorder here in our bees.
"And so researchers around the world are running round trying to find the cause of the disorder - and there's absolutely no proof that there's a disorder there."
Many experts speak about a "perfect storm" of impacts that are the real reason for the decline.
Some critics of the bee industry have called the whole concept of CCD a hoax, a public relations stunt designed to attract public sympathy.
