The 2008 election is shaping up to be one of the most important political contests in American history. In fact, Dr. D. James Kennedy believes it will be a watershed moment that could impact our very survival as a nation under God. Values voters—people whose political views and votes are based on their faith in God—are being targeted as never before. As the campaign season moves forward, the significant players will debate terrorism, radical Islam, nuclear threats, global warming, social iss
“Clean coal” is right up there with the safe cigarette and “atoms for peace” By Fred Pearce The Guardian, October 30, 2008 Who came up with the term “clean coal”? It is the most toxic phrase in the greenwash lexicon. George W Bush, by promising to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the pursuit of advanced “clean” coal technologies, certainly popularised it. But I’d love to know where it came from. Any thoughts out there? It is, of course, oxymoronic. Coal is about acid rain an
Intuitively we know rifts are widening between Republicans and Democrats on a host of hot button issues. Abortion and civil liberties have long been divisive topics; Gallup Poll data reveals that climate change has entered the same realm. An article in Environment magazine (September/October 2008) sheds light on how political affiliation – primarily Democrat or Republican – impacts one’s views toward climate change. Their findings offer insights into how Barak Obama’s and John McCain’s plat

The History of the Movement to Stop Global Warming People have not always known about global warming. The idea had to start somewhere. The history of the global warming concept is probably older than you might think. It all began in the late 1800’s. There was a scientist named Svante Arrhenius who was studying fossil fuel combustion

Jump to Comments It never rains in California anymore. If it does rain, as soon as you start to get comfortable- the rain stops. In my closet I have a rain coat, umbrellas and rain shoes that have not been worn or used in over two years. California is in the midst of a drought.
