POPSNow they say global warming affects US security Now the loony left is trying to appeal to conservatives with a security theme. Never mind that flood have been wiping out people since Noah built his ark. The ancient world is full of examples of thriving cities having been abandoned due to climate change - and this long before any industrialization or greenhouse gasses. Maybe the dinosaurs went extinct due to their all pervasive flatulence? I think this global warming hype is more of the same - liberal oral flatulence.

POPSNavajo Nation Fights Past & Present Threats of Uranium Mining There's money to be made in mining uranium, but last April, the Navajo Nation Council voted to ban uranium mining on Navajo land. For almost 40 years, beginning in the late 1940s, large quantities of uranium were mined on their land. Many Navajo still suffer related physical ailments: the cancer rates among Navajo living near mine tailings are 17 times the national average. The U.S. government did not begin to provide relief to the Navajo miners and their families, who suffered exposure to radiation, until 1990. But clean up is still not complete because no one has officially taken responsibility for the contamination. The bureaucracy is overwhelming: Five federal agencies alone are involved, along with tribal and state agencies. Since the 1990s the Navajo have been fighting Hydro Resources, Inc., who have been working with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to get a license to mine the land.

POPSFungus that feeds on radiation in Chernobyl A truly amazing feat of nature. From the most infamous nuclear power plant accidents in the world, life springs forth. In conditions that would kill any other organism. I have a hard time believing that it's even possible.

POPSMajor biological discovery…inside the Chernobyl reactor "That is to say, the melanin molecule gets struck by a gamma ray and its chemistry is altered. This is an amazing discovery, no one had even suspected that something like this was possible. Aside from its novelty value, this discovery leads to some interesting speculation and potential research. Humans have melanin molecules in their skin cells, does this mean that humans are getting some of their energy from radiation? This also implies there could be organisms living in space where ionizing radiation is plentiful."

POPSPuzzling Suspension of Incredulity to the "Official" 911 Theory If "official' theory is sooo credible, why do they not douse buildings in Vegas with jet fuel, rather than still going through all the time and trouble of setting cutter charges? Of course there are other numerous valid questions. Some which are addressed in this article. I reccommend reading the whole article.

POPSThousands of South African children abandoned Along with the abandoned kids, we have an ever increasing number of AIDS orphans. In a valley near where I live, the only people left are the very elderly and the very young, the rest having died of AIDS. So we have 80/90 year olds 'looking after' up to to 20/30 children each and subsisting on charity alone. One little 8 year old girl was found in a remote hut, living alone, because everyone in her family had died and she was eating only what she could catch and find. In the evenings she would walk 5kms to her nearest neighbour's hut and sleep outside because she was so afraid to stay by herself at night. It breaks my heart.
