1/12    "The Case for a 21-Hour Work Week"
        http://finance.yahoo.com/news/the-case-for-a-21-hour-work-week.html
        Yeah, let's beat the Europeans on laziness.  If their purpose really
        is to save the planet, why not re-direct the "excess" consumption
        towards environmental causes?  I don't see how traveling, for example,
        in the extra free time is not a form of consumption.

11/22   What no chatter about the Climate Hack?  MOTD, I'm so diappointed
        \_ What is impressive about breaking onto an academic server? I
           broke onto the Astronomy machines when I was a sophmore.
           \_ Way to miss the point. The hack itself was not impressive.
              The information that was exposed, however, make the above
              thread kind of moot.

8/10    James Kunstler is a genius.
        http://kunstler.com/blog/2009/08/the-fog-of-numbers.html
        \_  sarcasm?  or are you really an easily impressed dolt??
            \_ The latter I guess. I had not run across him before, and
               while I think he is hyperbolic, I think he is telling a
               very unpopular truth in a funny and attention getting way.

Environment Heat convinces Robertson of global warming Conservative Christian who once promoted oil exploration changes his mind Image: Pat Robertson Michael Smith / Getty Images file Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson calls a recent heat wave across the Midwest and East Coast "the most convincing evidence I've seen on global warming in a long time." NEW YORK - Conservative Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said Thursday the wave of scorching temperatures across the United States has converted him into a believer in global warming. "We really need to address the burning of fossil fuels," Robertson said on his "700 Club" broadcast. "It is getting hotter, and the icecaps are melting and there is a buildup of carbon dioxide in the air." This week the heat index, the perceived temperature based on both air temperatures and humidity, reached 115 Fahrenheit in some regions of the East Coast. The 76-year-old Robertson told viewers that was "the most convincing evidence I've seen on global warming in a long time." Last year, Robertson said natural disasters affecting the globe, including hurricanes Katrina and Rita that wrecked the US Gulf Coast, might be signs that the biblical apocalypse was nearing. Baking cookies on the dashboard hot In October, Robertson, a former Republican presidential candidate, said the National Association of Evangelicals was teaming up with "far left environmentalists" for saying global warming was caused by humans and needed to be mitigated. Signers of that statement included California mega-church pastor Rick Warren, author of the bestselling "The Purpose Driven Life." In the late 1990s, Robertson paid at least $300,000 to investigate the revival of an oil refinery east of Los Angeles.
