An excellent presentation by photographer James Balog revealing the results of his Extreme Ice Loss Survey. Very interesting time-lapse photography showing the extreme ice loss that's occuring world-wide. About 7 minutes and 30 seconds into the 19 minute video, he displays a graph revealing how the natural CO2 cycle (over the past million years) peaks at 280 ppm; however, over the past 100 years, the CO2 level has spiked to 385 ppm and it's continuing to rise at a rate of 2.5 ppm per year.

Actually when the unemployment rate on the average is 20% (counting part-time workers,jobless claims that have expired,and that percentage is conservative.)it really is no laughing matter.

Unfortuately,I still have a mortgage and kids to feed so the beat goes on.Manufacturing and Construction Etc. are gettn. killed.

Im considering(been looking at leasing between 300 and 600 Sq. ft.) opening small business for liscenced sports apparal /Memorabilia Signature.

Its taking a risk ,but been sittn. idle long enough.
By the way this political forum is full of freeloaders.
Without mentioning any names.You guys know who you are,minus the bills.....

You are right rusty, no laughing matter. Hope things get better for you. I'm encouraged that you aren't discouraged enough to not quit trying.

Hope your store works out if you decide that way. Try and stay positive.

Jabbers... No doubt Linus didn't even watch Balog's presentation. Linus and his "base" have no use for science. Sure, they could blame their childhood environment or their lack of education for their closed minds but at some point adults have to take responsibility for themselves.

And as we've seen over the past 8 months, Linus and his dysfunctional base of Tea-Baggers choose to blame their problems on Liberals, Commies, Socialism, Taxes, Hollywood, Gays, Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, Jews, the Media, Academia and... oh yeah, Hitler.

Rusty, I would not blame you if you do not accept my apology. But I am very sorry for that comment. I am sure that you are a good person doing your best to take care of yourself and your family. I was being an idiotic ass. All the best to you and yours and good luck. Things will work out for you.
