If you like a firght for bedtime save this till you've got your hot chocolate, a report on the world's environmental accounts : "it is a sobering statement with much more red than black on the balance sheet,' the scientists warn. 'In many cases, it is literally a matter of living on borrowed time. By using up supplies of fresh groundwater faster than they can be recharged, for example, we are depleting assets at the expense of our children.'"
It's a good source of facts and figures for waking up the apathetic or over-optimistic.
