Utterly Contemptable!

from Dust My Broom

This piece of garbage is the same person who danced on the Calgary War memorial draped in a Hezbollah flag. During her twenty minute diatribe against Bush and Harper I learned she is from Iran and came to Canada as a refugee. She kept on repeating bits from our national anthem - we stand on guard for thee…

The World Health Organization today announced a major policy change. It's actively backing the controversial pesticide DDT as a way to control malaria.

Malaria Foundation International
This outcome will save many lives, and it also demonstrates the power of coherent advocacy in achieving public health goals, which is a critical function served by the Malaria Foundation International.

Petition Project on Global Warming

Found this abstract and the surrounding material today, and it is a MUST READ! Read the whole thing and digest the graphs.

Here's a couple of samples-


Figure 2: Surface temperatures in the Sargasso Sea (with time resolution of about 50 years) ending in 1975 as determined by isotope ratios of marine organism remains in sediment at the bottom of the sea (7). The horizontal line is the average temperature for this 3,000 year period. The Little Ice Age and Medieval Climate Optimum were naturally occurring, extended intervals of climate departures from the mean.



Figure 8: Tropospheric temperature measurements by satellite MSU for North America between 30º to 70º N and 75º to 125º W (dark line) (17, 18) compared with the surface record for this same region (light line) (24), both plotted with 12-month smoothing and graphed as deviations from their means for 1979 to 1996. The slope of the satellite MSU trend line is minus 0.01 ºC per decade, while that for the surface trend line is plus 0.07 ºC per decade. The correlation coefficient for the unsmoothed monthly data in the two sets is 0.92.
