ALL POLITICS AND GLOBAL WARMING ARE LOCAL![trb]
Global Warming ..its continuing..your great grandchildren just before
their last breath will look at a family album with you in it and
say " The bastards knew and did not do anything about global
warming!"[trb]

"We need a new climate change Marshall Plan that will reshape the
world's future economy and redirect investment flows into a
sustainable future,".... [EW]

What is the world saying about Global warming this week?[trb]
Australia calls for global action on climate change [PDO]
Officials see climate change opportunities [TC]
Latin American, Caribbean Countries Have Key Role In Tackling Climate
Change [EW]
Climate change threatens West's water, world's crops [USAT]


Think about this "ALL POLITICS AND GLOBAL WARMING ARE LOCAL" What can
we do? Call our congressman? What will we say?![trb]

..need.. truly global action by both developed and developing
countries to address climate change. [PDO]
Do not kid yourself, global warming is affecting America directly and
indirectly.[trb]

-dry up water resources in the American West and the food supplies of
1 billion people in the poorest regions of Africa and Asia are the
focus of two studies released today. [USAT]
– including inundation of small island states and densely-populated
coastal areas; more intense hurricanes; water shortages; soil
erosion; droughts; and the loss of biodiversity – will intensify as
time goes by. [EW]
We have too many people on too little space consuming too many
resources.[trb]
-60% of the changes in river flow, snow pack and winter temperatures
in the West over the past 50 years are due to warming caused by human
activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and
natural gas. [USAT]
When California runs out of water they will raid the great lakes.
[trb]
-We will fight this together or we will die together.[trb]
"The world needs all countries to work together and agree on actions
to address this common challenge," Penny Wong, Australian Minister
for Climate Change and Water, said in a statement at the end of a two-
day meeting on energy security and climate change. [PDO]
-the changes of the past five decades have meant less snow pack and
more rain in the mountains, rivers that run dry by summer, and
overall drier summers in the region.[USAT]
And although the West has gone through natural wet and dry cycles in
the past, the current water flow trends differ significantly in
length and in strength from natural variations in the past, the
researchers concluded.[USAT]
-The people in the west will die of thirst first.[trb]
"Our results are not good news for those living in the western USA,"
he says, and notes that the changes might make "modifications to the
water infrastructure of the western U.S. a virtual necessity."[USAT]
-The researchers found that crops in southern parts of Africa and
Asia appear to be the most vulnerable to a warmer world: "In Africa,
corn, sorghum and wheat will likely be most affected, while in Asia,
the crops are wheat, rice, corn, canola, millet," says Lobell.[USAT]
Temperature and rain are the key factors that affect crops. The study
authors analyzed 20 climate models and concluded that by 2030, the
average temperature in most areas could rise 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit,
while precipitation in some places — including South Asia, South
Africa, Central America and Brazil — could decrease. [USAT]
-I hear a lot of talk about the 3rd world, just what is George Bush,
Dale Kildee, Carl Levin , and Debbie Stabenow doing to save the lives
of our great grand children?[trb]
-OH.. OH.. WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO TALKING ABOUT EMISSIONS AND
RESTRICTIONS ON THE CAR INDUSTRY. ITS POLITICALLY INCORRECT FOR
FLINTOIDS TO BRING THIS UP.[TRB]
- I propose the one thing we can agree on is that our elected offical
from the president down should be knowledgable of and have a position
on global warming.
