Stepping It Up for Global Warming
Some 1,067 Climate Events Already Planned in 50 States: A group called Step It Up 2007 is organizing a National Day of Climate Action for Saturday, April 14 -- the weekend before Earth Day. The message is "Step it up, Congress! Cut carbon 80 percent by 2050."
People have registered over 1,000 events to demand congressional action on climate change. Check the Web site for events near you, or register your own event.
Environmental author Bill McKibben, who is also a scholar-in-residence at Middlebury College, founded the group. The New York Times recently wrote an article about them and Grist has an archive page with McKibben's dispatches about the campaign.
What do you think of this national day of climate action? Will you attend an event? Will you start an event? Post your thoughts here.

GLOBAL WARMING or GLOBAL COOLING?
By: Angelos Backus
Only a moron would have an answer!
Most likely it is the same moron that will make the claim that they know which came first: the Chicken or the Egg? all without asking about the role of the rooster!
INTRODUCTION
It is embarrassing to constantly read about or hear educated politicians, news reporters, news commentators, quack scientists, and even a past Vice President of the United States making claims that the planet Earth is undergoing a period of global warming or global cooling. It is especially disturbing when these claims are made without first offering any logical scientific or mathematical evidence. Listening to some of these unsubstantiated statements, I can’t help myself from wondering what century we live in. Is it during the life of Aesop, where we were governing our thoughts by Aesop’s fable The Wind and the Sun or maybe during the eighteenth century and The Caloric Theory?
If this is indeed the twenty-first century, then we must be aware of the historic Brownian Movement and the advancement of Dalton’s molecular and atomic theory, which led to the conciliation that all matter is composed of molecules.

If I can prove to all of you that I know how to reduce CO2 in fossil fuel burning devices, would you agree that this is a major step in reducing Global Warming? Email me at bobmueller1@aol.com or just go to another "march" and "talk" about how serious Global Warming is today, tomorrow, and forever.
