UK: Climate kills off football schedule

THE weekend's cold weather froze football pitches across Scotland, and Clyde, Cumbernauld United and Kilsyth Rangers all had their games called off.

Jolley: Can Increased Meat Consumption Actually Help Solve The Energy Problem? - Cattle Network

Another suggestion is to persuade people to eat less meat by imposing a “sin tax” on pork and beef, viewing those two tasty foods as health hazards similar to alcohol and tobacco. Could a vegetarian diet really be less dangerous than a diet of beef and burgers? Or are we just transferring the rising methane problem from cattle to people? After all, we’ll be forced to eat more of those high fiber veggies; beans and broccoli, for instance, that create more gas in the human gut.

Bottom Line: My old college biology professors told me life creates methane, whether it be the most basic plankton or us human types. Let’s figure out if it’s easier to collect methane from human sources or bovines, then find ways to collect it and use it as an energy resource. Is anyone taking me seriously, here? Maybe Pachauri will call and we can discuss it, confirmed carnivore to probable vegetarian?

Obama and Gore Climate Change Meeting

It was big news, right before Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested on corruption charges. Now, the media is busy scrambling to protect Obama, so I will outline the most important information from the meeting you need to know.

UN Blowback: More Than 650 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims

POZNAN, Poland - The UN global warming conference currently underway in Poland is about to face a serious challenge from over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe who are criticizing the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore. Set for release this week, a newly updated U.S. Senate Minority Report features the dissenting voices of over 650 international scientists, many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN. The report has added about 250 scientists (and growing) in 2008 to the over 400 scientists who spoke out in 2007. The 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.

The U.S. Senate report is the latest evidence of the growing groundswell of scientific opposition rising to challenge the UN and Gore. Scientific meetings are now being dominated by a growing number of skeptical scientists. The prestigious International Geological Congress, dubbed the geologists' equivalent of the Olympic Games, was held in Norway in August 2008 and prominently featured the voices and views of scientists skeptical of man-made global warming fears.
