Three documents to ponder:

WWF Ecological Footprint - basically, we're fucked by 2050.
Stern Review on the Economics of climate change - if we don't spend the cash, we're even more fucked
50 years left for wild fish - if you're a fish, you're fucked

and then ask, why isn't your elected government doing a little bit more about this?

and something which personally annoys me: James Randi's Swift - November 3, 2006: "In September, the MHRA introduced rules to allow homeopaths to specify the ailments for which their “remedies” can be used, without the need of any supporting evidence. The Royal College of Pathologists, the Medical Research Council, the BioSciences Federation, the Physiological Society, the British Pharmacological Society, the Society for Applied Microbiology, the Royal Society the Academy of Medical Sciences, along with four other national societies are alarmed that claims can now be made about efficacy of these products without rigorous and objective evidence. It appears that this MHRA decision is in surrender to powerful pressures brought about by the quackery industry."

Given that in a previous job I had to jump through various hoops for the MHRA this is particularly galling.

Strange Sweden Fact: stop me if I've mentioned this before but why, on the weather forecast, do they only ever say what the weather will be like after 1300 hours. If I have mentioned this before, why have I not found out?
Trivia: It snowed the other day, the temperatures hanging around zero. brrr.
