POPSClub of Rome "The real enemy then, is humanity itself." According to its website, the Club of Rome is composed of "scientists, economists, businessmen, international high civil servants, heads of state and former heads of state from all five continents who are convinced that the future of humankind is not determined once and for all and that each human being can contribute to the improvement of our societies."

POPSeffects of climate change Here are some of my “learnings” for the week: The climate-change issue is one that needs to be confronted constructively and immediately, but it must be done cooperatively. Political posturing and pointing fingers of blame are counterproductive and waste valuable time.

POPS Millions facing famine in Ethiopia as rains fail more (at source): Donor countries provided sustenance to 12 million Ethiopians last year, more than half of it through the UN's World Food Programme (WFP). Having passed that total only eight months into this year, and with the main harvest already in doubt, aid agencies fear the worst is still to come. "We're extremely worried," said Howard Taylor, who heads the Department for International Development's office in Ethiopia. DfID has given £54m in aid to the country this year, and Britain has also contributed through the EU. "This is exactly the time when we shouldn't turn away from the people in need," he said.

POPSSolitary Crow On Fence Post Portending Doom, Analysts Warn
"At this point, all we can say for sure is that the sudden appearance of this grim avian prophet spells disaster for our nation's banks, its roads, its schools, its health care system, its energy resources—for our entire American way of life," Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman told reporters while examining video footage of the crow. "Would you just look at the way it's sitting there, with those glassy, black eyes and that creepy beak. Christ. Something bad is going to happen, I just know it." The president has also requested that all Americans remain inside their homes to avoid being spooked by the bird's foreboding, unearthly caws. "Look, the crow is already upon us, and we can't undo that," the president said at an emergency press conference Monday night. "As our nation faces this unprecedented challenge, it is very important that no one panic, because panicking will only increase the chances of it fidgeting with its talons or perhaps even flapping its wings.

POPSShould Trees Obtain Legal Status in the Courts?
Sadly, we’ve had this kind of nonsense influencing our government at high levels for decades; it just hasn’t been as bold and clear as we now see it in John Holdren. Dr. Michael Engor has an open letter to President Obama published at the Discovery Institute today. Michael Egnor, M.D. is a professor of neurosurgery and pediatrics at State University of New York, Stony Brook and an award-winning brain surgeon who has been named one of New York’s best doctors by New York Magazine. Dr. Engor says, among other things, Despite his strong scientific credentials, he advanced theories in the 1970’s and 1980’s that have become the paradigm of ideologically motivated junk science. He and his collaborators (such as co-author Paul Ehrlich) predicted world-wide famine as a consequence of over-population by the late 20th century, and they advocated radical coercive public policies to avert catastrophe. These predictions were explicit, public, and were published under . . . . .

POPSThe Basic Rules of Successful Body Fat Loss If you are setting out to loose weight and burn fat, then you should follow a regime that combines both a sensible exercise program, and balanced diet. It should be a permanent change of lifestyle and not a short term change to loose weight. Not affecting long term change or embarking on a nutritionally suspect fad diet may see you loose weight initially, but can ultimately lead to weight gain.

POPSPrinceton Physicist Congress Stopping Climate Change is Hilarious “The idea that Congress can stop climate change would be just hilarious if the actions they propose were not so damaging to the American people and even more to the poorer people of the world,” Happer said. “The so-called facts they are getting are just not true,” Happer explained. “ This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. As our Congressmen learn more about the facts, they will change their minds” and reject man-made climate fears. 'CO2 is not a pollutant' - Earth in 'CO2 famine' Happer noted that “CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is essential for life.” He added that the Earth will “be a better place with more CO2.” Happer testified before the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on February 25, 2009 . . .

POPSContagious Plant Disease Hits US Veggies Hard In the meantime, plant experts are warning gardeners to be on the lookout for the disease and to take quick action if it crops up. The first sign is often brown spots on plant stems, followed by nickel-sized olive-green or brown spots on the tops of leaves and fuzzy white fungal growth underneath.

POPSAncient Greece's 'global warming'
Again, the Woodstock generation's thirst for specialness is way beyond narcissism. Plimer too recognizes: "The Mycenaean civilization fell at the expense of the rise of the Assyrian, Phoenician and Greek civilisations. Records from Troy show that it was cold, with famine around 1259 to 1241 BC and no recovery until 800 BC." However, I wonder if celebrities and pop scientists are capable of humbling themselves and seeing themselves as small-bit actors, specks of sand, in a larger play, spanning thousands of years, where cool periods and warm periods, visit us. One day, the Hollywood generation (and I'm singling out limousine lefties here), will thank their lucky stars, or whatever they worship, that they missed the cold Dark Ages, for it was "a terrible time to be around." Just read about the weather of Constantinople by Procopius, or similar observations made from a more southern city by one John of Ephesus. Plimer adds: "Around 540 AD, trees almost stopped growi
