Global Warming talk Thursday
For anyone interested in global warming and its impact on the arctic, author Chad Kister will be in town Thursday as part of his nationwide Polar Bear Survival Tour. His talk will focus on the horrific affects of climate change on the Arctic. Kister went on a a 700-mile bakpacking trek through the refuge and bore witness to crumbling native villages and dwindling numbers of polar bears, walruses and seals. The speed at which change from warming is taking place is alarming, he says. "The main thing is we need to be moving much, much faster to better energy efficiency, solar and wind energy and other alternative energy, Kister said. The program is free and open to the public. Here's the details: Who: Chad Kister What: Polar Bear Survival Tour When: 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday Where: East Bakersfield Veterans Hall, 2101 Ridge Rd

What the folks in the Midwest who are getting swamped by snow wanna know is when this global warming thing is gonna kick in. They're dang well tired of shoveling and emptying their Tylenol bottles to ease the soreness in their muscles that have turned to Jell-O. They could use a little help from global warming, the sooner the better. posted by

Oh gawsh, Tomw, I really wouldn't want for global warming to decimate the bounty of corn crops there that is slaking our thirst for ethanol. But failing that, does that mean you'd be branded a pinko? The Czech president might think so: http://www.cnsnews.com/View... While the Arctic ice cap continues to build itself back up as it has over the past five year, here's more for you to read/listen to: http://www.citizenlink.org/... How about a little more free and open inquiry into this matter?
