Extreme Weather:
Nature's Wake-up Call

Faster than expected Arctic ice melt has been linked to increased worldwide weather extremes.

An extensive study by scientists from around the world has found that “the human impact on climate is being superimposed on the natural variation in climate and temperature.”

Read more about it in a report from
CBC News.

 


 

“Snowmageddon?”

Climate changes are now underway and projected to grow.

Polar ice melting is adding moisture to the atmosphere.

For more than fifty years precipitation has increased across the United States and is projected to increase further.

If the precipitation occurs when the temperature is freezing (like during the winter) it is most likely to be in the form of snow, sleet and freezing rain.

(Of course this is subject to melting when the temperature rises with accompanying consequences.)

On February 13, 2010 nj.com/news reported that there was snow on the ground in 49 states on February 12, 2010 thanks to an unusual combination of weather patterns that dusted the U.S. with Hawaii being the only exception.

This is after a month that saw the most snow cover for any December in North America in the 43 years that records have been kept, and January 2010, which ranked No. 8 among all months for North American snow cover.

camel flatulence

obliteration:


The time to heed
the message of

Around the world we see dysfunctional households, domestic disputes, divided communities, international atrocities, acts of terrorism and genocide.

News reports constantly display reiterations of Jezebel and Ahab, Cain and Abel, Samson and Delilah as well as accounts of Hard Hearted Hannah and Hard Headed Homeboy.




People of the Planet
WAKE UP !!!


For the sake of
your posterity
and your posteriors,
Please Heed
Dr Martin Luther King, Jr's
Keys to Peace !

("NOBODY
wins when
the prize
is
HATE!")

Nelson Mandela's
90th Birthday Year



Celebrates Diversity of Ideas

 

 

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Plans unveiled for a multitude of activities.


People from many nations send the
“World's Biggest Birthday Card”

 

 

 

HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY,
MADIBA !

 

Greetings:

Words are simply not adequate to properly express gratitude and respect for your contributions to all of humanity - with your charity properly beginning at home.

Not to express anything, however, would be extremely ungrateful and disrespectful.

The least that any one of us can say is “Thanks!”

Thank you for your commitment, vision, love, concern, spirituality and everything else necessary to accomplish the long term goals shared by so many millions in the human family.

God bless you!

God bless Africa!

God loves you and so do we!

Happy Birthday.

Live long and prosper in happiness and health!

Sincerely,

Stan Daniels,
