Ominous Events

This may happen someday soon. One penguin, then no penguins.

Apparently it just happened in China. After 20 million years , man and pollution have made the Yangtze white fin dolphins extinct.


If it's being estimated that our Arctic ice will be gone by as early as 2040, why isn't our government concerned or engaged?

Maybe it will be a start for us to stop electing governments that represent big energy, anti science and technology, far right anti- evolution pro-military rapture ready wing nuts and elect people that have some vision and wisdom about what can be done to save this planet together, and not hog the resources in isolation for the short run.

I read this yesterday in the news and Harper was quoted as saying "2040? 'l'll be dead by then." HUH? So what's that mean, he doesn't care what it's gonna be like for his kids? Geez, I don't even have kids, but when I read this 2040 date I automatically tried to figure out how old my niece and nephew would be then.

And conservatives complain about liberals being the self-indulgent ones.

A few weeks back there was an interesting article in the Glib&Mall on government spending priorities in Norway. Despite their enormous wealth, they only spend 4% of their massive oil revenues a year on the assumption that when the oil runs out, their grandchildren are going to need a great deal of money.
