I wish this were an April Fool's Day joke :-(

I don't know why this isn't screaming from every front page and top story on every newscast all around the world everywhere. This is the biggest news there is. This is more important than Terry Schiavo, the Pope, the war in Iraq or the school shooting in Red Lake. This is our planet, folks! This is the only place we have to live! As far as we know, this is the only place anything lives! We use it up, there ain't no more!

WAKE UP, WORLD!
