nothing special

ENVIRONMENT:
Senate Votes to Allow Drilling in the Arctic Reserve.
What's the point of making a reserve if we will allow all the stuff that we are supposed to be protecting it from. At yellowstone they allowed a geo-thermal power-plant to use the heat vents below the park, which will over time reduce the park from a boil to a simmer. Logging is being allowed in yosemite, everglades are nearly gone cause the water is being syphoned off. This time around the funniest thing is that most of the oil drilling grants that have been handed out in the US are NOT being used/drilled cause there just isn't enough oil in it to make it worthwhile. On top of that the reserves in the arctic are decades away from accessibility and hold a minute amount of removable oil.

oh well.

Some one finally woke up and declared that Climate Change Is An Economic Threat. Congrats. Next decade we will discuss whether or not poison is god to breathe. At this rate we will have all our problems worked out a little after the next big extinction event.

The BBC has a lovely Pictorial showing how the world is changing with warmer climates everywhere.

When losing the battle with the facts at hand you can either make up new facts or try to invalidate the facts that the other guy is using. This is done often in environmentasl circles as it is far easier than ding the science.

In case you want more 'facts' here is the BBC Guide to Climate Change.
