Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, receiving support from the Canadian economist Prof Mundell and Nobel-prize winner Professor Robert Mundell, is proposing a one world currency, the Acmetal. Mr Nazarbayev's coining of "acmetal'' combines the Greek word "acme,'' meaning peak or best, and "capital.''   Mr Nazarbayev and Prof Mundell urged the Group of 20 leading developed and developing economies to form a working group on the proposal at their summit on the global economic crisis in London on April 2. "We should deliver our thoughts and the thoughts of ... Read More

Scientific meetings are now being dominated by a growing number of skeptical scientists in regards to man made global warming. Over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers. What some are saying... “I am a skeptic…Global warming has become a new religion.” - Nobel Prize Winner for Physics, Ivar Giaever.    “Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak ... Read More

If you read the news headlines at all, between the economy, housing crisis, and food issues, it's all starting to sound like the Black horse of the Apocalypse. Consumer Confidence Falls to a 26 year low Many States Appear to be in a Recession UN secretary-general calls food price rise global crisis... Oil Prices Jump Oil shortage in UK ahead of strike: 'Stations running dry'... STUDY: Oil prices to double in next 4 years...   But it's this headline that I thought was a no-brainer even when this ... Read More

  The trees still have red leaves on them and the weather paid no mind to the calendar at all, and the snow fell. We were only supposed to get about 2 inches, but by night, I would say closer to 4 fell here in Pasadena.   Mom said that it was reported, statistically it often snows on December 5th, so I guess we don't have to panic that our global warming is really global ice age. We spent the day cozy in the ... Read More

  In the book I am reading, and blogged about, Hurtling Toward Oblivion, there is a section where the writer answers the question, "If you could use only ONE WORD to describe all that is happening in the world, which word would you choose?" The writer's answer. "More." He goes on to say no matter where we look there is always more. More people, more cars, more roads, more televisions broadcasting more programs over more stations. More computers, more books, more magazines, processing ... Read More

I have to give Drudge Report credit, he reports both sides of the headlines, even if side by side they are very confusing. In that he does that, says to me, the real truth is not really known. Next to an adorable polar bear image is the headline: WARMING WARNING OF 'UNRECOGNIZABLE' EARTH   That's very strong language, even to the inside of the article... "VALENCIA, Spain (AP) - The Earth is hurtling toward a warmer climate at a quickening pace, a Nobel-winning U.N. ... Read More

  In these confusing times on what some are calling global warming, there exists, I found out, concerns about the state of the climate measuring network. Apparently the data received is in question. Now since a day doesn't go by that we don't hear about how the earth is warming up, it would be a good idea to at least make sure the information they are feeding us is accurate. Even though doubts as to the purity of the data was suspect ... Read More

      I have never hid, even since I started this blog, my confusion over the weather, climate and the global warming debate. It seems like for every scientific evidence one gives on a certain slant, others can chime in with evidence in the other direction. More confusing is weather headlines of late: THE icy weather of snow, hail and heavy rain that has swept across South Africa over the past few days has set 54 weather records. "The South African Weather Service said 34 ... Read More

Just when I am nearly convinced by the media and the pointing of fingers from other nations that the U.S. is totally to blame, yet another theory pops up as to why we have global warming. This article in Live Science states: "Increased output from the Sun might be to blame for 10 to 30 percent of global warming that has been measured in the past 20 years, according to a new report." More on the article HERE accreditation devrycategory pra credits ... Read More

Apparently this year's back to back hurricanes is proof positive to Barbra Streisand that we have entered a new period of "global warming emergency." Or at least this is what she tells Diane Sawyer in a recent interview. Now I just don't know how scientific that all sounds. So I decided to research a little to see if hurricane activity such as we have had this year and last, is something new. What I found out that hurricane activity such as ... Read More

Ok. Granted, I can be easily confused. I have read time after time how we need to clean up the air. Yet now, I read Earth's air is cleaner, but this may worsen the greenhouse effect. I am sure glad I don't have my faith in scientist, none seem to ever agree. Read: Clear skies end global dimming ... Read More
