Global fossil fuel consumption: increased by 1% in 2001 to the highest levels ever.
Oil spills from civilian sources: 50,000 tons in 2001, least spilled since 1968
Global automobile numbers: 555 million, increasing by 40 million each year
Pestiside poisoning: 3 million people poisoned, 200,000 killed in 2001

Someone asked me what I wanted to do (in life) today, and I mumbled something about environmental policy. They looked me right in the eye and said - don't do that. It's the most frustrating work you can ever go into. Well I'm frustrated right now. I don't think that's going to change.
