What Will You Be Doing On March 28 This Year? Earth HOUR 2009?Many countries are participating this year, on March 28, to combat power demand and climate change. Basically, everyone who wants to join in is supposed to TURN OFF ALL OF THE LIGHTS in their house on March 28, for one hour -- from 8:00pm - 9:00pm. Use candles for lighting.. The goal is to show how much we can conserve and save AS A PLANET if we all work together to make this place better for everyone. One hour of no lights around the world will save TONS of electricity, and help others become aware of the demand and find alternative sources of energy (such as wind, solar, hybrid, etc) to power our world. Even though I don't believe in global warming, (which is one of their main goals), I DO believe in working together and saving energy -- as well as using alternative power sources. I'm in.. are you?

Honey Bees are facing extinction their important to our earth, and we mankind are can't save them, for we don't even know what is causing this to happen in the first place. 10 Bats are disappearing something is really going on in this world, but what, and if so what could it be.. our world needs both the Honey Bee's and Bats. are we in the race against time, also i must add many more Insect are dying alone with the Sea Creatures 11. Did not God say he will destory those who destory the Earth 122012 is 20 + 12 = 32, age of Jesus when crucified Did you know that in his/her boredom, “Thanks for reading this” theorized in Yahoo Answers, Religion Spirituality section, that 2012 could be 20 + 12 = 32, the approximate age of Jesus when He was crucified and died? I answered that he/she is correct in his/her theory. When Jesus died, He was actually 32 solar years old, equivalent to 33 lunar years. This is found in the results of a study that I did to check if what the Holy Spirit said regarding the crucifixion of Jesus on August 17 is correct or not.... Is this a sign that God is warning us of the impending calamity around 2012, like the end of the Mayan’s calendar cycle? but this could or could not be, the not the end of the world yet. i am just saying i'm paying attention to these little signs, which really should not be happening this fast So what do you think about this Christian opinion's please, if you are Atheist then why would you even bother with me, i mean you're close minded and does not believe in global warming, don't blame me, when you destroy our world i'm talking about you black flag Liz: you are right , only God knows when, it is the last days on earth. still with what's going around the world with global news. the 4 horsemen. might have been release here on earth, the problem is this might be the beginning of more signs to come. the book of revelation does tell us the 4 horsemen will be release here on earth Black flag i am getting tired of you bashing me, when i did nothing to you, but maybe it's you're guilt. since it seems i hit something you are afraid of'' i guess you never believe in Global warming. but now is having 2nd thoughts [ Read More ]

Are People Doing The 28th March Earth Hour?C'mon do it. I am. I'm switching everything off. T.V, Computer, Lights (of course). Anything used electrically. I think it's a good idea, and voting. Apparently people are doing it because the people in WWF, want to see if 'Global Warming' is real. It says: ' Earth Hour is an international event that aims to draw attention to climate change and global warming. The goal is for 1 billion people to switch off their lights as part of a global vote in the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming. The results of the vote will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.' So are you gonna do it? And what will you do? And how long? Over an hour? Mine will just be an hour. At least we can do it every year. *If people don't know when it is: March 28th 2009 8:30-9:30pm [ Read More ]

Do You Agree With The US Military That Climate Change Is A Threat To National Security?'The changing global climate will pose profound strategic challenges to the United States in coming decades, raising the prospect of military intervention to deal with the effects of violent storms, drought, mass migration and pandemics, military and intelligence analysts say. Such climate-induced crises could topple governments, feed terrorist movements or destabilize entire regions, say the analysts, experts at the Pentagon and intelligence agencies who for the first time are taking a serious look at the national security implications of climate change. Recent war games and intelligence studies conclude that over the next 20 to 30 years, vulnerable regions, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and South and Southeast Asia, will face the prospect of food shortages, water crises and catastrophic flooding driven by climate change that could demand an American humanitarian relief or military response. An exercise last December at the National Defense University, an educational institute that is overseen by the military, explored the potential impact of a destructive flood in Bangladesh that sent hundreds of thousands of refugees streaming into neighboring India, touching off religious conflict, the spread of contagious diseases and vast damage to infrastructure. “It gets real complicated real quickly,” said Amanda J. Dory, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy, who is working with a Pentagon group assigned to incorporate climate change into national security strategy planning.' http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/09/science/earth/09climate.html?th emc=th Now, I know the US military and Pentagon are full of liberal socialist tree-hugging communists, but putting their obvious leftist biases aside, do you agree with their conclusions that climate change is a threat to national security? aceking - nice, taking denial to a new level. Okay, how about this military report from 2 years ago saying the same thing? http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/apr2007/2007-04-16-05.asp My mistake, I didn't realize the Military Advisory Board's opinions are no longer valid because its members are retired from the military. Way to disrespect retired military personnel, aceking. Very patriotic. [ Read More ]

New Year 2009 Delayed By One Second To Correct Atomic Clocks, Does It Really Matter ? ?New Year will arrive a second late when time across the globe is adjusted to account for the Changes in the Earth's rotation. A 'leap second' will be added onto the final minute of 2008 because the planet is gradually slowing down as it spins on its axis. The tweak will help correct the time-lag which shows up on ultra-accurate atomic clocks. It is the 24th time since 1972 that the adjustment has been made by the Paris based International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service at intervals varying from six months to seven years. The last was in 2005. Historically, time was based on the rotation of the Earth relative to celestial bodies. Earth's trip around the sun is about 365.2422 days long, which we round down to 365. Every four years, during a leap year, the inaccuracy is corrected by adding a day in February. Mechanisms such as the Internet-based Network Time Protocol and the satellite-based Global Positioning System (GPS) depend on the accurate time kept by atomic clocks. That extra second will make 2008 – already long with an extra day on Feb 29 – the longest year since 1992. The decision to add an extra second was made by an international consortium of timekeepers, whose American arm announced the extension. World commerce and digital technology depend on accurate to-the-second timekeeping, said Geoff Chester, spokesman for the US Naval Observatory in Washington, responsible for one-third of the world's atomic clocks.

New Synthesis Report From The 2009 Copenhagen Climate Change Conference With The Most Up To Date Science?http://climatecongress.ku.dk/pdf/synthesisreport/ 'Participants came from nearly 80 different countries and contributed with more than 1400 scientific presentations.' 'This report has been critically reviewed by representatives of the Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP)ii, by the parallel session chairs and co-chairs, and by up to four independent researchers from each IARU university. This extensive review process has been implemented to ensure that the messages contained in the report are solidly and accurately based on the new research produced since the last IPCC Report, and that they faithfully reflect the most recent work of the international climate change research community.' 'The scientific evidence today overwhelmingly indicates that allowing the emission of greenhouse gases from human activities to continue unchecked constitutes a significant threat to the well-being and continued development of contemporary society.'

A Fundamental But Elusive Step In The Early Evolution Of Life On Earth Has Been Replicated In A Laboratory.?I want to hear how this is disputed... “By changing the way we mix the ingredients together, we managed to make ribonucleotides,” said Sutherland. “The chemistry works very effectively from simple precursors, and the conditions required are not distinct from what one might imagine took place on the early Earth.” (here) http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/05/ribonucleotides/ Originally considered a dud, an old volcano-in-a-bottle experiment designed to mimic conditions that may have brewed the components of life might have been right on target. (here) http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/10/forgotten-exper/#previouspost @ But that could be Death: You are an idiot and also a d*ck. Obviously, the number of nucleotides has nothing to do with these articles. Also no one was present at the moment life began, thus we are relegated to using the 'end product' to discover the processes in which the 'end product' came to be. Also, like Neil stated, the language of science is indefinite for a reason. I'll take you up on that head croquet. Go ahead and lay down, I got first stroke. [ Read More ]
