I guess I've been bored from not mocking Sarah Palin since she lost the election, so time to dig up a gem. Remember how she believed GOD would help her bring more oil money to Alaska, well turns out GOD was taking his damn time so she decided to sue to the Government to have Polar Bears taken off the protected animals list, in order to turn nature preserves into industrial playgrounds. She even went on Glenn beck to argue her case.
So she's suing because polar bear numbers are increasing? Where is she getting that fact? Everything I have heard has been that the Arctic is shrinking and hurting the polar bear population. CBS or Glenn Beck? hmmm..
Regardless, The New Scientist magazine looked into the facts, Palin was right that Polar Bear populations were rising, but she spun the story to meet her needs, Populations are rising in North-East Canada, but are dropping Alaska.
The two populations that are increasing, both in north-eastern Canada, were severely reduced by hunting in the past and are recovering thanks to the protection they and their prey now enjoy.
The best-studied population, in Canada's western Hudson Bay, fell by 22% from 1194 animals in 1987 to 935 in 2004, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. A second group in the Beaufort Sea, off Alaska's north coast, is now experiencing the same pattern of reduced adult weights and cub survival as the Hudson Bay group.
Global Warming is our biggest challenge as people in our times, personally I'm well beyond the debate, I'm no scientist but I get the fuckin picture - Humans are fucking up the planet. The media and politicians debating the issue is really what I hate here.
Al Gore thinks its real. George Bush think it's up for debate. Sarah Palin says she doesn't care, but she does, she is incredibly connected to the Oil Industry, like, to the point where she was praying for oil pipelines and Energy deals. Like honestly praying to God for them. Do you pray for gas lines? This video below is of Palin doing just that.
The argument continues to dominate, for each crooked scientist and politician Big Oil pays off the debate is given a few more years of fuel. This is a distracting. The Corporate media is in on the act, they create an atmosphere where you have pick a side (a distraction I say). They do that, and while the ignorant public is distracted, fisheries collapse, mammals and birds go extinct... Blah blah animals, habitats, hippies, blah, basically The worst case scenario involves water shortages and/or a climate shift that will completely change geography as we know it.
Humans are fucking up the planet and I get nervous about that. Sure, I recycle and have nice energy efficient lightbulbs, but fuck this is a bigger problem than me. It's a bigger problem than the USA, than Canada, than Britian. It's a global problem, and I'd hate to see what happens if it's not contained and fixed asap. Some politicians want to wait for China and India? That has got to be the worst excuse.
Perhaps we are living in that religious fantasy of a world full or wars, death and destruction, is our only hope Jebbus? Fuck. Sarah Palin thinks Jesus will be coming back during her lifetime (she does) and I will start to believe her too, especially if loons like her continue to run the fucking world.
Conversations these days should not be about whether Global Warming is real or not, they should be about the solutions that will fix the "lack of resources to sustain our population" problem, you know, Energy, Food, Water. Honestly, whatever it takes to keep the lights on, the food on the table and the water clean and plentiful; that should be the #1 priority of government. The direction we seem to be headed in right now is one where our resources run dry, they've been saying this for years.
Would you rather invest crazy Amounts like $700 Billion or $1 Trillion on things like "Wallstreet Bailouts" and "Wars on Terror" or...
This is why I would like to see Barack Obama lead in America. I hope that once he's in office, there is no more debating, they just get started on this "Barack-Apollo Program" to save the world and their economy. Can you imagine the amount of new jobs you can create once you start the New Energy Revolution? batteries, solar panels, crazy cars..fuck anything, vertical farming! Jet Packs! He wants America to lead in the manufacturing of the products that the world will need in the Future, sounds like surefire way to make money. Especially if your administration is setting the bar for what products the world needs to function properly, and that all just sounds like common sense me, but I'm a crazy guy.
There are so many ideas and products already out there that are lined up and ready to be manufactured to save the world. The problem they can solve is the "lack of resources to sustain our population", let's get started shall we?...oh.. or we sticking with that whole "all our money goes into war and security"? My apologies if I'm out-of-touch.
Who knows we might be 1 month away from a real World Leader, the Barack-Apollo Program could really be the "Game-Changer" America needs to lead the world again towards to brighter future.
God Speed America, I look much forward to an internet less polluted with American Politics stories.
