Increasing crops to make ethanol for fuels could threaten water supplies

Water available depends on where the crops are grown, he added. If it is an area needing irrigation, it takes 2,000 gallons (7,570.6 liters) of water for every bushel of corn: "That's a high amount of water."

Ethanol vs. water: Can both win?

That's become a problem for an ethanol plant in Granite Falls. Granite Falls Energy has drained its aquifer by nearly half in less than a year. Leuthe says it's pumping faster than the aquifer can refill.

The Sun Also Sets
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Thursday, February 07, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Climate Change: Not every scientist is part of Al Gore's mythical "consensus." Scientists worried about a new ice age seek funding to better observe something bigger than your SUV — the sun...........


Now, Canadian scientists are seeking additional funding for more and better "eyes" with which to observe our sun, which has a bigger impact on Earth's climate than all the tailpipes and smokestacks on our planet combined.

And they're worried about global cooling, not warming

They'll think of something to spend money on.

It will be interesting for sure.

Mayor Compares Threat of Global Warming to Terrorism

UNITED NATIONS — While he acknowledged that scientists are unable to predict its consequences, Mayor Bloomberg yesterday compared the scourge of global warming to the threat of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Although it is a "long-term" fight, he said, reducing gas emissions may save the life of "everybody" on the planet, the same way that fighting terrorism and its proliferation saves lives in shorter terms STORY



No hyperbole here, no none at all.
These people are more than a little full of themselves.

Lord, save us from the politicians.

Greenhouse Affect
February 13, 2008


The ink is still moist on Capitol Hill's latest energy bill and, as if on cue, a scientific avalanche is demolishing its assumptions. To wit, trendy climate-change policies like ethanol and other biofuels are actually worse for the environment than fossil fuels.Then again, Washington's energy neuroses are more political than practical, so it's easy for the Solons and greens to ignore what would usually be called evidence.(bold added)

The Rest of the Story

I was a global warming naysayer until I saw this, incredible proof. Hope the link works.

Nessie we hardly knew ya!

Veteran Loch Ness Monster Hunter Gives Up

Despite having hundreds of sonar contacts over the years, the trail has since gone cold and Rines believes that Nessie may be dead, a victim of global warming.

Roy, I'm sorry to report that Mr. Kringle's home and factory have sunk to the bottom of the ocean due to "Global Warming"
