POPSGore Airbrushes In Hurricanes For His New Book ..... There are other differences I am sure you can find " but the hurricanes are just nonsense… Ryan Nonsense? No more like scaremongering, especially when it has been shown time and again that there is no hurricane to global warming linkage, and we are at a 30 year low. Mr. Gore, you are a charlatan. http://bit.ly/6mu8h0 Possibly related posts: (automatically generated) * Al Gore still addicted to nonexistent hurricane-climate link in new book * Where are the Huricanes Mr. Gore? * Watching Ida " Gulf coast wary * Climate Change At Any Cost

POPSCrying Over Dead Trees - How Ignorant!!!!
My comment begins in the clip... it finishes here... I never thought I could BE an emotional hippie and it is something I wouldn't do in a group - but the emotions these people are expressing is no less than what I felt, when that jungle that "had been my friend and a friend to the native wildlife" that I loved, got decimated. No wonder the earth is as "in a state of crisis as it is" we really don't care, we are so "disconnected" to the life force that flows through the natural habitats of not just one species (human) but millions bacteria, insects, minerals, trees, animals in all their sub groups. I AM angered by "human belief" that we are the most important species on this planet and no other life form matters as long as humans survive. I would gladly leave this planet, if all I had to look forward to was humans, humans and more humans and their neurotic pets, all the neuroses, psychoses, their lack of harmony within themselves and hence the planet - Give me an "injectio

POPSSeas 'threaten 20m in Bangladesh' Four months after the cyclone, the sea defences are still breached and the island floods with every high tide. Map and satelite view of Gabura Island The chairman of the Gabura Island "union" or council, Shofiul Ajam Lenin, is calling for the embankments to be far higher. "If the current design is not changed then not only my union, but the other unions as well will not exist." The flooding has ruined the island's freshwater supplies and hygiene in the camp is poor. Among those living in tents on a narrow strip of high ground is Asma Khatun, a 25-year-old widow, who is now eager to leave. "I think it is not possible to live in this country any longer. We have to move to other countries. "We can't live here just by drinking this water. It is not possible to live here."

POPS 125 years of Roller Coasters A hundred and tewnty-five years after the first U.S. roller coaster, the coaster arms race is still testing the extremes of height and speed—:and increasingly the limits of the human body. One of today's big guns, Top Thrill Dragster, may not offer much in the way of classical winding twists and turns, but delivers the high octane thrills of its namesake. The coaster towers 42 stories above terra firma at the Cedar Point in Ohio and takes riders from 0 to 120 miles an hour (190 kilometers an hour) in a breathtaking four seconds.

POPSAustralia's worst bushfire disaster Cyclone in the north and fires after a five year drought in the south. Temperatures higher than any recorded. A taste of future life on this planet. But it isn't the result of us polluting the planet, it is just a cyclic thing. Or so some would have me believe.

POPSBurma Comic Jailed For 45 years At the time, he seemed to think the government would have no problem with his activities. "No, we never encounter any problems, because we negotiated with them, and we just want to pass our donation parcels. We just want to encourage our people - this is our duty," he told the BBC in an interview just before his arrest. Our correspondent says such breathtakingly disproportionate punishments send two clear messages from the generals who rule Burma: that they will brook no opposition in the lead-up to their carefully managed transition to what they are calling a "discipline-flourishing democracy"; and that they are unconcerned what the rest of the world thinks.
