Here is a picture of environmental crusader Suzuki with the Canadian Governor General.
I was always worried you would find out about him and start posting articles etc. of his rants but it seems you are lost... He has big long ear lobes which according to ancient tao philosophy indicate wisdom. David has made a bundle scaring people stupid about global warming.

Let's put the eco back in economics
by Dr David Suzuki, C.C., O.B.C.
These days, the prefix “eco” signifies “green” as in eco-forestry, eco-psychology, eco-tourism. Eco comes from the Greek word oikos meaning “home”. Ecology is the “study” of home while economics is its “management”. Ecologists describe the principles and conditions that enable all life to flourish and economies to be sustainable.
Thus, ecology informs us that:
1) The biosphere, the zone of air, water and land where life exists, is finite and cannot grow. Hence, nothing within that biosphere can grow indefinitely without encountering limits and (as with cancer) death.
2) Diversity of genes, species and ecosystems, is the key to life’s survival and resilience as Earth has undergone immense changes over the past 3.8 billion years. Humans have added another level of diversity—culture—which has enabled us to exploit ecosystems as varied as deserts, the Arctic, mountains, grasslands and rainforests. Monoculture, the spreading of a single strain, species, ecotype or culture, renders life vulnerable to changes in climate, disease or parasites. Yet we are monoculturing the world with a single notion of economic progress and development.
3) In nature, there is no such thing as waste; instead, one organism’s excretion becomes another’s opportunity.
