In a Spectacle of Wealth and Poverty...
The Department of Agriculture reported yesterday that the number of children experiencing hunger increased by 50 percent from 2007. Perhaps the Obama administration's economic policies will help those families least able to succeed in the economy.
In the meantime, please enjoy Natalie Merchant's "Carnival," where she sings:
Have I been blind Have I been lost Inside my self and My own mind Hypnotized Mesmerized By what my eyes have seen?
Comment by Philippe Ohlund: "The Earth is actually not exposed to Global Warming, and even got colder last year"
Really? All of it? (genuine question - I want to know) Some of it will get colder under global warming, hence the term "temperature anomaly".
"The climate change is due to the cyclical Earth orbit around the Sun, but this is nothing we can influence."
The polar ice caps are retreating with a rapidity that does not seem to be down entirely to the celestial phenomenon you describe. Even proponents of the orbital theory admit that this is a less important factor than manmade Greenhouse gases since 1950. There can indeed be a natural element to this, but manmade factors enhance the risk immensely.
Comment by Grace Explosion: "I couldn't even find any articles debunking him and showing how dangerous this is to our food supply"
....so then... based on what do you debunk him? You evidently started rather than concluded with the view that you have.
"It's just so... commie. And plus it makes Obama feel sooooooo big and powerful." does not impress me as a balanced and scientific answer. Are you an unpublished specialist in this field, or are we starved already of substance with which to debunk this?
Last year the ice pack expanded; and Alaskan glaziers expanded. During our Summer, South American and South Africa had the coldest winter in a long, long time with snow all over the place where it usually aint. It's the solar activity that truly affects global temperature, not CO2.
Please remember, that hear in New York State...long island was created by retreating glaziers, the beautiful palisades clifts along the Hudson River were created by retreating glaziers; our beautiful Fingerlakes were dug out by retreating glaziers as were all the Great Lakes.
And you want me to start panicking NOW because you say glaziers are retreating ???? Give me a break.
well he can turn water into wine and all that jazz
