Carbon: Breaking a 800,000 Year Cycle...

"There is a remarkable record of CO2 concentrations preserved in tiny bubbles in Antarctic ice cores going back 800,000 years. These measurements are less accurate than modern Keeling-style instrumental readings, but they are plenty accurate enough to see the big picture clearly. All throughout the past 800,000 years, which encompasses several ice ages and interglacial warming periods, CO2 levels fluctuated in a relatively narrow band between about 180 ppm (during the colder ice ages) to 280 ppm (during the warmer interglacial periods). For about the last 10,000 years we have been living in a warm interglacial period, with CO2 concentrations at about 280 ppm. Then, beginning with the industrial revolution about 1750, CO2 concentrations gradually moved up to Keeling's accurately measured 1958 level of 315 ppm. Since then, as we have seen, CO2 concentrations have grown rapidly to the current 2013 level of 400 ppm.
So, the current CO2 concentration of 400 ppm is some 40 percent higher than anything that has been attained in the last 800,000 years. The glacial-interglacial cycles began some two and a half million years ago. Scientists estimate that a CO2 concentration of 400 ppm has not been attained for at least 3 million years. This rapid a change in CO2 concentrations has probably not occurred for tens of millions of years...." cont at link:

IRS Tea Investigation - Made by BUSH Commissioner! Media FAILS to Check FACTS!

What the IRS "Hearing" held today in Congress Failed to Disclose - The IRS Commissioner in charge during the Tea Party Investigations was a BUSH appointee, Mr. Douglas Shulman (see link)!

Steven Miller--the guy fired-- didn't take over until NOV 10 2012 --AFTER the election!!

Look at the chart for yourself - and ask: Why the hell doesn't ANY of the media have the common sense to realize the acts complained of were made under the Commissioner that was appointed by G W BUSH in March 2008 to Nov 9 2012! Why? Are they stupid? Allowing bullshit to pass as FACT? That's what is happening when you check FACTS (at the link).

Share the Facts!

As America's Drones Hit Pakistan - it's First Peaceful Change of Government without Military

As America's Drones Hit Pakistan remote areas where Taliban hide, Pakistan is undergoing its first Peaceful Change of Government without Military taking control in its HISTORY.

And WHO will make the decision? Since my first trip to Pakistan 30 years ago, a whole new generation who are under 30 will vote in this election, making the choice - just like a new, young generation helped elect President OBama.

If you want to learn more about Pakistan as I saw it, check out "Better Times Ahead April Fool"

Solution for Health in Poor Countries? - Reduce POLLUTION

FYI.  A study shows that the solution for Health in Poor Countries  is to REDUCE POLLUTION.

Beijing's (China) foul air in Feb 82 (30 years ago) was so bad it put this 32 year old in bed for a day or two during negotiations. (story at www.BetterTimesAheadAprilFool.com)

Its gotten WORSE since then...Here is a photo of the author on the Great Wall in October 2012, which is normally "clear"...note the haze (camera time is set for Houston time. China is 13 hours AHEAD of Central time, hence the difference).

Everything in BETTER TIMES AHEAD APRIL FOOL Book is Happening TODAY....

Doing too many things at once leads to doing nothing really well.

So I have found myself focusing on one thing - then switching to focus on another when I can or need to. In the past two days I have been in 3 counties and it was 85 degrees. By the time I was done, I'd walked a marthon, and looked 'rode hard and put up wet.'

I just switched over to being Webmaster for that amazing "Better Times Ahead April Fool" - adding the chapter titles at the TOP. They say it all. Keeping it SIMPLE is key.

Right now, like most of you, I'd prefer to be lying on my private island and deciding which restaurant to fly my seaplane to.  But then reality keeps interfering with that movie --as in the need to generate enough to put something into retirement since I am no longer the 40-something year old that still lives in my head.

So I need to sell a lot of security film and books to even buy a ticket to that island! LOL

What's important is that my business product is protecting people and property while my book describes how we got into this mess - and how we get out of it in a global, space age economy.

Everything I talk about in the final chapter "Agenda for American Greatness" is happening today, both here in the USA, Europe and Asia, etc. 

At least I have a plan for our future, unlike Congress...LOL. It's in Agenda for American Greatness.

Importing GARBAGE for Energy - Norway's Ununusal Business

Fascinating article on how Oslo Norway is IMPORTING GARBAGE --to burn for energy, even at the same time is EXPORTS oil, etc. Norway doesn't have enough garbage so it has to import it. LOL. And look at the other European countries doing the same "waste to energy" plants, recycling etc...

Happy Cinco De Mayo Day - Reminds me of a Car Trip to Mexico...

Happy CINCO DE MAYO day! In one chapter in "Better Times AHead April Fool" a Hispanic friend of mine volunteered his economy car and we drove to Guadalajara (see the map) and back to Houston. That was the 90's. FLY in is ok but today I wouldn't recommend driving it - anyone here DRIVEN to Mexico lately?

P.S. During our drive, we did get stopped once by a cop in Mexico. I already had a plan ready if that happened. And it did happen. It's in the book...lol
