Oh, no. I may have to rethink my position on global warming. Bill O'Reilly says deniers are "idiots" and "ridiculous." Could I be wrong? If O'Really thinks . . . oh, wait, this makes everything okay again. Falwell says global warming is a "myth" designed to distract us from what Jesus condemned at every chance--abortion and gays. . . . Don’t these morons know that those of us who believe global warming is happening want to kill capitalism and our economy???? A good article on investing in the opportunities coming open and reviews of what's happening in areas like ag, alternative energy, automotive, financial services, infrastructure, real estate, and tech. And here's Wall Street's evolving perspective, with emphasis on carbon footprints, carbon accounting, and green investment. . . . James Hanson, the NASA scientist Bushnev couldn't shut up, says that a moratorium on coal-fired power plants is one of the most important things we can do to get greenhouse emissions under control since CO2 "capture" technology is probably 5-10 years away. But pay no attention. The "president" doesn't like him. . . . Drought in SW China, a million people potentially with little water (yes, million) and (and this is something we rarely talk about) the Yangtze basically unnavigable. But, by all means, China, insist that others have to take action on global warming, not you. . . . Now global warming is whacking the world's largest tiger reserve (it's in India, as if you didn't know that). Let's just pray they don't find out and get loose.
