Obama: Yes we can [emphasize green jobs fraud more than climate fraud]

For the first time, utility companies and corporate leaders are joining, not opposing, environmental advocates and labor leaders to create a new system of clean energy initiatives that will help unleash a new era of growth and prosperity.

It’s a plan that will finally reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign oil and cap the carbon pollution that threatens our health and our climate. Most important, it’s a plan that will trigger the creation of millions of new jobs for Americans, who will produce the wind turbines and solar panels and develop the alternative fuels to power the future. Because this we know: the nation that leads in 21st century clean energy is the nation that will lead the 21st century global economy. America can and must be that nation – and this agreement is a major step toward this goal.

Lack of global warming strikes North Dakota cattle

...After all, that moisture was the result of an especially harsh winter.

First, ranchers were hit with calving deaths, estimated at more than 70-thousand across the state.

Now, they`re beginning to see losses among the calves that managed to survive the winter.

It`s spring. The grass is green, the sky is blue, but winter is still hanging on in cows all across the state.

"It doesn`t just end once the grass greens up," says Jonathan Marohl, of Novartis Animal Health. "It`ll affect these calves, and some of them it`ll affect lifelong performance on these calves."

One problem is disease. After spending a long winter in cramped conditions, cattle, especially the younger ones, are susceptible to things like scour and pneumonia.

"I hate to use the word snowball after this winter but it does have a snowball effect," says Marohl.
