How bad are bananas? : the carbon footprint of everything
by Mike Berners-Lee (not to be confused with Tim Berners-Lee who invented the World Wide Web)

This is an non-technical look at how our daily activities may contribute to global warming.

There is no one area of our lives that is especially responsible for our carbon footprint. It's a combination of 8% this and 5% that. Cars are probably over-emphasized as the main cause of global warming. There is no main cause. Agriculture is significant, especially raising cows and sheep. Electricity generation is very significant, of course. Home heating is significant. So is air travel. (Emissions at higher altitudes are particularly problematic.)

Some things that are promoted as low carbon, such as burning wood, or running diesel engines, actually contribute significantly to global warming in ways other than carbon dioxide emissions.

I'm reading the historical novel The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. It is the true story of black woman named Henrietta Lacks whose cancer cells sparked a revolution in the field of cell culture.

I am currently reading a book given me by my father. Called "Petain's Crime". About his role in creating Vichy France during world war 2 and his collaboration with the Germans in eliminating Jews. I got much of my activist and liberal views from my family, and am glad for them. It is sad to see good people lose their moral compass, but also heartening to see all the free French that stood up to tyranny and were victorious.

You might love the series I'm currently reading. It's about a wizard in modern day Chicago. It's a a mix between noir hard-boiled detective stories and fantasy. The author is called Jim Butcher and the first novel of the series is called Storm Front.

I'm about to start book 6 of the series.

I don't know how I haven't posted in this thread yet! I'm always reading :)

Right now, I'm reading Stephen King's IT. I've seen the movie, but it's been such a long time that I only remember vague details and that Tim Curry is a god. I'm a little over halfway thought the book and my dear sweet lord, it's great. I thought I'd get bored or distracted with the book being so very long, but I've been kept thoroughly entertained the whole way through so far. There are so many characters and they're all so charming in their own unique ways.
