It has become clear to many people that global warming is here and accelerating. We have to take action and accept no excuses. It's time to put the carbon back into the ground.Pangolinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18369503994505817789noreply@blogger.comBlogger271100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839396265759273041.post-78429237865958174522011-08-10T15:55:00.000-07:002011-08-10T15:55:26.256-07:00

The role of false choices and the state in the age of unreason.I witnessed a dispute between my nephew and his mother about the amount of time he spent playing video games and watching television. The nephew, upset at the television in the living room being broken disrupted his habitual video gaming and/or endless channel surfing. His mother, unsuccessfully, tried to explain to him that these "

There's a lot of strong men out there, good men, thinking men, who are sold a lie so that the powers that be can play god unhindered. The lie is this: You got to your place of comfort by your efforts alone. We'll protect your place; for a fee.

I was always crazy. Bad things happened to me before I could spell my name; Gitmo-style bad things. The first escape I had was nature. I found that under a bush or up a tree was a fair place to hide from the lash. The second escape was reading.For some reason the original Whole Earth Catalog was left in my families living room; and all subsequent editions. Imagine a second grader learning to read

I know a secret. It's an ugly secret. The US is engaged in the practice of Eugenics. Specifically we are killing, through exposure and neglect, our excess population. The Greeks and Romans would "expose" babies born with defects on cold nights. They would put visibly deformed children out in the weather where cold and/or scavengers would kill them. This practice continues to this day in some

He starts with this: The cat coming out of the bag this week -- a frazzled, flaming, rabid, death-dealing cat -- is the news that Goldman Sachs will announce impressive second-quarter profits, and set aside $18 billion or so for employee bonuses averaging $600,000 per head (

David Roberts, editor at Gristmill, thinks we shouldn't use a Carbon Tax and rebate system because nobody in Washington thinks it's a good idea except most progressives and a few conservative columnists playing B'rer Rabbit and the Briar Patch. (see "Carbon tax is a poison pill")""I guess I'm going to be barbecue this day." Brer Rabbit sighed. "But getting barbecued is a whole lot better than

crossposted from a Gristmill thread on the lack of transit funding. Face it; this congress isn't that different than the last congress and reality seems to be a bit of a challenge for congressional delegates. Climate change is real, very dangerous and accelerating. Congressional proposals at best will merely slow the rate of acceleration and do absolutely nothing to mitigate. There are no viable

I think Santa's had enough and has pulled the death rays from the weapons locker. If this picture doesn't scare you then a look over at the Cryosphere Today website where it came from should do it.In particular the tale of the tape should get you thinking that things are changing a little faster than the evening news lets on. It could even be said to happening "faster than expected."

"Economics" keeps telling us that wind or solar power is a bad investment. It just isn't true. The economy uses a form of monopoly money called US dollars that is essentially fictional and allocated preferentially to the oligarchs that control the banking system. They do whatever they feel will increase their own status and power with it. Right now, status and power is not perceived to be

Recently I have worked in the property management business. I have become very familiar with how termites work. They are a great example of multiple system points failures. When a termite eats a single two by four your house doesn't fall down. This is obvious. It has to eat a significant percentage of the wood in one section of the house. There has to be a water supply for them like a roof leak
