2. The hidden story

Obama is getting too close. Corporate America is beginning to panic and all the stops are now being pulled out. Beyond that, 'Racist America' is rearing it's ugly head. The hidden story, Obama has to be stopped!!!

I fear for him, what could come next, as the obvious panic is formidable. This is a race between a paint can and a paint brush.... and a grafetti wall with scribblers at work. Grab your hats, hang on, this could get a lot worse!

The chickens ARE coming home.....

13. Rate of atmospheric CO2 increase today shown to be 14,000X faster than any period in last 600K years

Scientists have found new evidence that the Earth's natural feedback mechanism regulated carbon dioxide levels for hundreds of thousands of years. But they say humans are now emitting CO2 so fast that the planet's natural balancing mechanism cannot keep up.

The researchers, writing in the journal Nature Geoscience, say their findings confirm a long-believed theory.

Carbon spewed out by volcanoes is removed from the air by rock weathering and transported to the ocean floor.

Using evidence from an Antarctic ice core, the team calculated that over a period of 610,000 years the long-term change in atmospheric CO2 concentration was just 22 parts per million (ppm), although there were larger fluctuations associated with the transitions between glacial and interglacial conditions.

But it's not nearly as important as a "radical" black preacher or a semi-clothed pubescent pop star - which just goes to show you how screwed up my priorities are.
