Share Your Genuine Heart to Help Others

Nothing that needs to be appreciated more rather than helping other who needs your help. That is really a positive attitude and sincere thing to do. There are many ways you could do to help others. Working in non government organization, doing charity, supporting global warming, joining aids or drugs campaign and many many more. If you are really a person who cares about your environment, cares about any other things around you, perhaps you need to deliver that good heart trough this websi

Al Gore ignores ‘Earth Hour’

Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” may have inspired many to participate in yesterday’s “Earth Hour” by switching off their lights from 8:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., but maybe the former vice president didn’t get the memo. Drew Johnson, the president of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, decided to drive by Gore’s mansion in Nashville at 8:48 p.m. and records that floodlights were on illuminating the driveway leading up to the main quarter. “I pulled up to Al’s house, located in the posh Belle

Lawrence Solomon — Green economics: It just doesn’t add up

A Spanish study found that every green job kills 2.2 jobs elsewhere By Lawrence Solomon Green jobs will grow the unemployment rolls, concludes a study at Juan Carlos University in Madrid. Every green job created ploughs under 2.2 jobs elsewhere in the economy, and that doesn’t account for the indirect job losses to come of the higher energy prices that accompany green energy technologies: Companies can be counted on to flee this green, or should we say gangrene, economy. The author of

468. The Underground Rooster, a Kentucky Blog

From time-to-time, but not too often, I’ve taken the easy way out and posted someone else’s work. I even did it in the last entry, at least in the first paragraph, copying verbatim the 1892 platform of the People’s Party, a Progressive movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While I do not always have permission to do so, I do always give credit where it is due. In this instance, I have asked and received the appropriate permission. Today’s post is from the blog of a friend

NBC is greener because hardly anyone is watching

While you won’t see a press release that says, “ Kings and Chopping Block have lowest carbon footprint of any new shows in 2009  after three weeks ,” I love the imaginary quotes from Silverman and Zucker it would generate. “It turns out that there is an upside to our pitiful ratings: a very low carbon footprint!  We’re delighted with this news and very proud of the achievement,” said NBC programming honcho Ben Silverman. “I think this is a major coup for NBC,” added Jeff Zucker, “So much

Global Warming Craziness Roundup

Here’s some more hard-hitting analysis from the same Representative Shimkus Frederick quoted earlier as worrying about the potential for lower carbon levels to starve plant life: The evidentiary worth of the Bible’s testimony is not universally agreed upon, and in any case, the two arguments conflict with each other. If the Bible is literally, infallibly accurate, then the era of high carbon levels Shimkus references never occured – Earth is only a few thousand years old, after all. And anyw

No Sense of Shame

Best Fuel Economy, Water For Gas By James F. Cotter   Note:  As I seek employment elsewhere , I will be working only part-time and  producing fewer articles; in the meantime, other writers will be taking over some of these duties.  My friend, the reporter Scribbles Melooney, has already moved on to greener pastures (Jiffy-Mart).  Godspeed. Representative Joe Barton of Texas has consistently opposed the implementation of clean air standards, for which he has been repaid with huge su

This global warming stuff is getting me down…

Sunday was interesting, for part of the day it was snowing sideways. I caught these pictures when it had died down a bit. For those who have never spent much time in Salt Lake, this sort of weather is normal. We are out in the desert, but we are at around 4200 ft above sea level, and we also have the Great Frakkin’ Salt Lake right next door to cause some goofy weather effects. Click to enlarge. This is a shot to the east from my driveway. This is to the west. Notice you cannot s
