The Social Poets: Billionaire Koch Brothers Send Attack Lobbyists to Stop Energy Legislation
The Social Poets: Billionaire Koch Brothers Send Attack Lobbyists to Stop Energy Legislation: "From Denny: The famous Koch Brothers, who love to meddle in the very same government they claim should not basically exist, are now flexing their financial muscles again. They are demanding legislators lose the proposed energy legislation for natural gas subsidies to help wean America off oil.
Of course, Koch Industries, based out of Kansas, primarily has interests in oil, refining and pipelines as well as chemicals and consumer products like toilet paper (Angel Soft) and paper towels (Brawny). These are the same numb nuts that want to burrow an oil sands pipeline straight up through America to Canada from Houston.
Did I mention they want to dig said crazy pipeline under the only fresh drinking water, an underground glacier, for the entire Midwest population? Oh, and they claim 'it's perfectly safe and nothing will go wrong.' Uh, huh, and that's what BP told us here in Louisiana about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill clean up."

Climate Change Studies Reveal Startling Facts

From Denny: In Greenland there is a team of international scientists who are studying ice cores into the Earth's distant past trying to understand climate change. They are located about 800 miles north of the North Pole at the very top of Greenland conducting their studies.
Can you imagine drilling down into the ice for a distance of 11,000 years or more at a time? They study the ice cores similar to looking at tree rings to determine age and what happened during the tree's history. Part of what they have discovered is rapid climate change in just two years. If this is true then humanity had better get serious about preparing for that dramatic change.
Their next goal is to drill down to 1.6 miles for ice that is about 130,000 years old. Can't wait for that report!

Recycle your water, be ultimately green

Recycle your water, be ultimately green: "When you don’t have much water, it’s surprising how the conservation of it rises in priority. When you live in an area traditionally short of water you work out ways of safeguarding it, yet there’s no reason why the ideas shouldn’t be applied everywhere. Treat water as the precious life-giving liquid it is and there’ll be enough to go around. Waste it and you’ll eventually be in trouble."
