Yes! A new topic, back to basics but better!
The Guardian reports about new computer modeling technology that can quantify the amount of destruction carbon emissions infused climate disasters actually caused against a similar event not tainted by oil company byproduct. Sweet! Thanks Oxford University scientists!
Why is this news the coolest ever? Sue the bastards! Justice for all could prevail! (I enjoy my polar ice shelf just where it is, thank you. I can almost see it from my house as it is.) Imagine a killer hurricane destroys your world as you know it and you don’t decide that now’s the perfect opportunity to shift gears, move to a new city and start again. You get a new setup, solar panel your roof, and then sue Amoco. With the winnings, your take your money and future savvy (maybe you even read a piece I wrote) and decide invest in some green upstart company. Essentially, oil companies can fund the green movement. I know there are a bunch of steps here that are missing, I’m well aware. But there’s a framework to start from.
Oh, and the article commentary is a great read too.

A piece of arctic ice the size of Montreal has disappeared. The “centuries-old ice shelf” melted, broke up and now there’s a giant river running through a chasm up there in the north. Climate change much? (Science uses EVIDENCE to prove the truth of things.) Experts predict that climate change reversal is no longer possible, check out the yahoo video. The experts point out that in the place of the giant pieces of ice, fresh water lakes filled with various microbes remain. Here are some potential end of world story for you triggered by the thought of unknown microbes: diseases, invasion, zombies…
I know American and Canadian news varies. I didn’t speak up during the 9/11 disaster when the information passed to Canadians and the news force-fed to the Americans looked completely different, so I vow to not let that happen again. Let’s be clear: Sarah Palin doesn’t think climate change is the fault of humans, she’s an evangelical expert, her evidence probably has something to do with an unprovable force that may or may not use fire and brimstone techniques to keep humans in line*. She wants to drill drill drill, get that oil, burn it up and doesn’t think that’ll effect any terrestrial bodies that we may or may not inhabit. And if she doesn’t get what she wants, she might fire you**! She fired everyone in Alaska who didn’t support her after she took office, so don’t naively think your job is safe. (There’s a character attestation for you, John Voight.) She scares me. I have no faith in the egocentric Conservative Americans because I know that they’re going to fall for all that Republican crap, again.
Some nice tidbits: *TIME Magazine did an article about when Sarah Palin attempted to BAN BOOKS in the PUBLIC LIBRARY. Thank you library blogger. The head librarian of the library “resigned.”
**Sarah Palin became mayor of Wasilla, Alaska by a grand total of 617 votes. Her opponent received 413 votes. Total. Thank you to the Anchorage Daily News.
And by the way, all you Americans watching your American news and saying that you’re going to move to Canada if the Republicans get elected again, I know you’re full of crap. Canada doesn’t want you anyway. Well, I guess Alberta wouldn’t mind so much. Just don’t come to Quebec, it’s too awesome here to be polluted by American paunch… Actually, let’s spin this a bit more positively: America, you know what you have to do. It requires action and votes to make America become the country everyone always knew it could be- before it was hijacked. Go back to that happy place and you’ll once again earn the respect of the world. You can do it!
More on all this later…
This just in: another blogger posted these videos of Sarah Palin in her church in Alaska…. Is this election going to be a giant leap forwards into the future or a giant step backwards into the past? Americans will decide.
Here’s the link to the letter circulating about Sarah Palin. Holy balls.
