Key carbon-based molecules in the life processes:
* Proteins, which are the building blocks from which the structures of living organisms are constructed (this includes almost all enzymes, which catalyse organic chemical reactions
* Nucleic acids, which carry genetic information
* Carbohydrates, which store energy in a form that can be used by living cells
* Fats, which also store energy, but in a more concentrated form, and which may be stored for extended periods in the bodies of animals.

Mark Hertsgaard makes some really great points about the dangers of climate change. I like that he brought attention to the fact that we have to not only reduce the carbons being released into the atmosphere but also deal with what is there now. I don't think a lot of people realize that. I found a related article, http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008...ate_change.php
