“After man there would be the mighty beetle civilisation, the bodies of whose members the cream of the Great Race would seize when the monstrous doom overtook the elder world. Later, as the earth's span closed, the transferred minds would again migrate through time and space -- to another stopping place in the bodies of the bulbous vegetable entities of Mercury. But there would be races after them, clinging pathetically to the cold planet and burrowing to its horror-filled core, before the utter end.” MenWorldMindEndsBodyWould BeEarthSpaceRacePlanetsColdCivilizationHorrorMembersFilledCoreVegetablesEntityCreamStoppingTime And SpaceEldersDoomMonstrousCivilisationClingingMercuryRough TimesBeetlesMigrateBurrowingGreat Race Book:Delphi Complete Works of H.

“The chemical compounds are comparable to a system of planets in that the atoms are held together by chemical affinity. They may be more or less numerous, simple or complex in composition, and in the constitution of the materials, they play the same role as Mars and Venus do in our planetary system, or the compound members such as our earth with its moon, or Jupiter with its satellites... If in such a system a particle is replaced by one of different character, the equilibrium can persist, and then the new compound will exhibit properties similar to those shown by the original substance.” IfsMayDifferentPlayCharacterEarthTogetherSimpleRolesPlanetsMaterialsMoonMembersConstitutionOriginalsPropertyComplexesSubstanceChemicalsAtomsCompositionReplacedPersistMarsParticlesExhibitsCompoundsEquilibriumVenusSatellitesAffinityDifferent CharactersJupiterChemical Compounds Author:Jean-Baptiste Dumas

The poor and vulnerable are members of God's family and are the most severely affected by droughts, high temperatures, the flooding of coastal cities, and more severe and unpredictable weather events resulting from climate change.

“Without laughter life on our planet would be intolerable. So important is laughter to us that humanity highly rewards members of one of the most unusual professions on earth, those who make a living by inducing laughter in others.

“The biggest truth to face now - what is probably making me unfunny now for the remainder of my life - is that I don't think people give a damn whether the planet goes or not.

“It was such an amazing experience to be able to spend nine days on a boat with these Greenpeace people. Some of them were scientists and some were crew members working on the ship.

Every single second of the day they work to save the planet, which makes me as an actor feel quite insignificant.” PeopleFeelsFirstsStoriesAbleActorsPlanetsMembersScientistNineShipsBoatCrewInsignificantSave The PlanetAmazing ExperiencesGreenpeace Author:Alexander Skarsgard
“I want to clarify that one doesn't need to be a scientist or have fancy college degrees to know the truth about the health of our children, our communities, and the planet. Community members generally know far more about the health of their own communities than visiting "experts," yet that knowledge is often discredited because of another story that we tell ourselves: "real" education happens [only] in the halls of universities.” KnowsWantNeedsChildrenRealStoriesHappensCommunityCollegePlanetsMembersDegreesScientistOur ChildrenUniversityExpertsFancyHallsVisitingOur CommunityCollege DegreeReal Education Author:Annie Leonard
“Obama administration didn't have one person who had ever worked in business. Not one Obama cabinet member had ever seriously had a job, run a company, met a payroll in the American economy. And, as such, no way of understanding how business is done, from negotiations to any other aspect of it. In fact, people in Obama's cabinet were arrogant and condescending and looking down on those people as a bunch of shysters and a bunch of cheats and people that kill their customers and they're destroying the planet.” PeopleWayPersonsDoneFactsRunningJobsUnderstandingCompanyEconomyPlanetsMetsMembersAspectCustomersBunchAdministrationDestroyingArrogantCheatNegotiationCabinetsLooking DownCondescendingPayrollAmerican Economy Author:Rush Limbaugh

“There is this thing called the university, and everybody goes there now. And there are these things called teachers who make students read this book with good ideas or that book with good ideas until that's where we get our ideas. We don't think them; we read them in books. I like Utopian talk, speculation about what our planet should be, anger about what our planet is. I think writers are the most important members of society, not just potentially but actually.
