Lets talk big picture for a second. Humanity is now, suddenly, over the course of one hundred years, raising global average temperatures by 4 to 6 degrees (4 degrees estimated this century). This is having several effects: droughts, floods, forest fires, melting poles, melting methane hydrates escaping from the seabed. Reduced oceanic oxygen causing dead zones.

This has happened before. 251.4 Million years ago, at the end of the Permian. Vulcanic eruptions in Siberia covered an area of 7 million square kilometers of land with lava. It also ran into the shallow waters of the continent that then had a different shape, it melted and released methane hydrates in the shallow continental shelves. This riased global temperatures by an average of 6 degrees. It stopped the movement of ocean water, because the temperature differential between the poles and the equator dissapeared. The Oceans became stale. Oxygen was reduced in the atmosphere as well.

Life disappeared. All but most that is, 96% of ocean life. 86% or so of land animals disappeared. Even most insects died. That period is known as the 'Great Dying' as it was the biggest extinction event in our planets history. It took 500.000 years for any stabile life forms to reappear, which might be considered a miracle.

We have republicans and democrats bickering over a climate bill. What we should worry about is arresting the temperature increase and preventing a similar 'methane burp' to occure (which is staring now around the poles and on the melting tundra's, all methane release). Perhaps it is still possible.

Perhaps you have heard from the Old Spice man (because what else could be important) flirting with Alyssa Milano here and here (not to be confused with the adult star Melissa Milano, ew). Well, here's her answer. Auch! Donate here. Melissa is a real Climate Babe, because all life, especially wildlife will make the world more resilient to the challenges ahead..

Hmm..Go National Wildlife Federation's Gulf Oil Spill Restoration Fund

She stopped the building of a road through wetlands and forest, bravo! For this work she recieved the Richard N. Goldman Prize. Now there should be a green solution to the trucks that will use the alternative road..

The G20 is about managing the combined economies, the antiglobalist see that this only serves the banks, it leads to the ecoholocaust, climate change, by the way its institution have been corrupted along the way. Primary goal should be emissions reduction, which is perfectly possible without deteriorating the wealth of the majority.

This girl describes her nonsensical abduction, including strangulation and sexual assault (one would wonder why they would pick her in the first place). The necesarry selection of short sighted goons to serve the G20 almost makes it inevitable that things get ugly. Still she claims to harbour no hard feelings, which is the best response for a peacefull person. The question is, how about you? What if she was your friend?

Are we seeing the effects of the hydrocarbons in Kindra Arnesen (slurred speech). What did she sound like shortly after the spill? Check it out here. She talks about being scared of BP, as BP is now the only source of income for the fishing community.

If the gulf water is a lot hotter than ususal then this does add energy to the huricanes and this does increase the likelyhood of spreading the oil and toxic disperants wider. For now it is worrying enought people are affected by the fumes and nobody seems to want to evacuate them yet..

Anderson reports that reporters are being denied access to medical treatment cabin for cleanup workers..

Exxon Valdez Spill Medical Fallout

According to the lady below, 6722 people with reperatory illness, still sick people 21 years later. Peopl ebing 100% disabled, a lot of them have died.

This is a recepy for panic. Is this in fact an act of massive genocide in the making? Add tho this the arsenic effect, where oil prevents Goethite to wash out arsenic from the ocean water..
