Spring Rolls, Gore Noodles, DiCaprio Hash on Menu for Today - Isn't Life Grand?

Thursday, March 08, 2007

The global climate change debate continues to heat up as our spring weather continues to cool down. More rain later today and Friday.


NOWCAST - Rain rolls in later today and tonight with showers on Friday including possible hail with brief clearing periods. Unsettle weather continues into the near future. Click on the side panel for the latest forecast!


OUTCAST - The BBC documentary, "The Great Global Warming Swindle" aired today at 1 pm our time on BBC channel four in the UK. I am sure someone will tape this and it will find its way on the internet. As soon as I find out an opportunity to view this, I will pass it along. I watched the trailer and it was very interesting. It will certainly douse the fire on Oscar Gore's film and cool down that controversy. Maybe.


Already public opinion of Oscar Gore is cooling off faster than the ice age as critics expose his false information and his true political colors emerge. A recent poll indicates less than 30 percent of voters would ever consider voting for Oscar Gore for president in 2008. He will continue to spew hot air for some time but he has already reached melt down. Oh and by the way Oscar Gore, quit eating meat as you are contributing to the climate change more than anyone. Read this meaty piece.

On another front, it looks like Leonardo DiCaprio will pick up where Oscar Gore left off and is producing his own version of a global warming film, "The 11th Hour". It is currently in production and will be aired later this year. Leave it to Hollywood to direct this country. I wish actors would stick to their script and stay out of politics. It wrecks their imagine. I already have a list of actors that I will not go and see their films because of their outside activities. It is their choice of course, a free country.

Global warming pledge. Seattle mayor Greg Nickels reiterated his pledge to further reduce carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050. In a paraphrase of President Kennedy, Nickels said, "Ask not what the climate can do for you, but what together we can do to protect our climate."

Here is your chance - Environmental activists and liberal politicians will join forces in Washington DC on March 20 for the first (and I assume many more) "Climate Crisis Action Day" which is billed as a carbon neutral global warming event. It should be a warm feeling for all those involved. Read more here.

Grizzly Bears and climate change- Just when the US government is considering taking these bears off the endangered species list, experts predict they are doomed by man-caused global warming. I can bearly stand this but if you wish to read more, click here.

Humor in politics -

Hillary Clinton was spending the morning at a Junior High school in

Ithaca, New York to talk to the children about her job as a US Senator.

After her talk, she offered question time. One little boy puts up his hand,

and the Senator asks him what his name is.

"Kenneth"

"And what is your question, Kenneth?"

"I have three questions:" First - Whatever happened to your medical

health

care plan? Second - Why would you run for President after your husband

shamed the office? And third - Whatever happened to all the stuff you and

President Clinton took when you left the White House?"

Just then the bell rang for recess.

Hillary Clinton informed the kids that they would continue after recess.

When they resumed, Hillary said, "Okay, where were we? Oh, that's right,

question time. Who has a question?"

A different little boy raised his hand; the esteemed Senator from New

York pointed him out and asked him what his name is.

"Larry."

"And what is your question, Larry?"

"I have five questions: First - Whatever happened to your medical health

care plan? Second - Why would you run for President after your husband

shamed the office? Third - Whatever happened to all the stuff you and

President Clinton took when you left the White House? Fourth - Why did the

recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And fifth - What happened to Kenneth?"

The piece about Hillary was hilarious (pun)! Also, it seems if you want to make a name of yourself, just get on the global warming bandwagon.I wonder what it runs on?

Appreciate all your information on the global warming issue. Looking forward to your posting of information re: where to view documentary being shown today by UK Channel 4. I was looking everywhere for how to view and so were many others voices on the various blogs.

Your efforts to promote true good science are appreciated. It reminds me of a memorable quote by Dr. Don Bevan, a well respected UW/NMFS Professor and Fisheries Scientist who passed away in 1995, "Good Science is Good Public Policy."
