POPSRising Seas threaten 21 mega cities Drat - I don't want to drown. What gets NYC gets me too. Well the Mayan Calendar ends in 2012, so mayhaps I shall reach the Astral plane by another method. I feel for the children; who knows what's in their future.

POPSBritish Judge That Slammed Gore Film Exposed Far from being an impartial jurist, Burton it turns out appears to be a reactionary conservative who has earned praise from the far-right, anti-immigrant British National Party for his ruling in 2005 that applied the nation’s Race Relations Act to cover the racial rights of White people. Hailing what it called Judge Burton’s history-making ruling, the BNP said, This now means that any organizations or companies that discriminate against a member of the British National Party are guilty of anti-white racism. The right-wing in America will stop at nothing these days to protect the profits of corporate polluters and since they have no scientific credibility at all with which to deny the man-made effects of global warming on this planet, they can only pull out the Karl Rove playbook and seek to attack the messenger. I can’t wait for the doctored 8x10 glossies of Al Gore and Britney. You know that’s coming next.

POPSRising sea levels will change face of America
The Environmental Protection Agency's calculation projects a land loss of about 22,000 square miles. The EPA, which studied only the Eastern and Gulf coasts, found that Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, Texas and South Carolina would lose the most land. But even inland areas like Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia also have slivers of at-risk land, according to the EPA. This past summer's flooding of subways in New York could become far more regular, even an everyday occurrence, with the projected sea rise, other scientists said. And New Orleans' Katrina experience and the daily loss of Louisiana wetlands — which serve as a barrier that weakens hurricanes — are previews of what's to come there. Florida faces a serious public health risk from rising salt water tainting drinking water wells, said Joel Scheraga, the EPA's director of global change research. And the farm-rich San Joaquin Delta in California faces serious salt water flooding problems

POPS32 Animal Rights Activists arrested "harassment" "intimidation" "creating a climate of fear" sticking a living creature in a cage, giving it diseases, trying cures, drilling holes in it's brain -- that's somebody accumulating very much negative Karma because they are harassing, intimidating, & creating a climate of fear far, far more awful than the activists.
