Come On Baby, Don't Light This Fire

The BBC reports that a poem by Jim Morrison of The Doors entitled “Woman In The Window,” where an angel warns humanity about its actions, has been set to music and will be released as a single in April part of the Global Cool Campaign (the recording was produced by Perry Farrell of the group Jane’s Addiction). Morrison wrote and recorded the poem in 1971 soon before he died.

And of course, many people were hoping that Dubya would acknowledge global warming and embrace the Kyoto Protocols at long last in the State of the Union address, but that didn’t happen (why anyone would think that is totally beyond me, I must admit…after six years of dealing with this guy, why would anyone think he would change and acknowledge an issue he has derided all along?). I say this because I came across a lot of Google links to stories of people expressing these wishes, and as we know too well, they didn't come true.

Well, here is some more information to confirm the unpleasant reality of which we all know.

And, as “the lizard king” himself once said in a wholly other context, when it comes to dealing with global warming, the time to hesitate is through.
