As we watch the sun go down, evening after evening, through the smog across the poisoned waters of our native earth, we must ask ourselves seriously whether we really wish some future universal historian on another planet to say about us: "With all their genius and with all their skill, they ran out of foresight and air and food and water and ideas," or, "They went on playing politics until their world collapsed around them."

In the near future the Citizens of Florida will have an opportunity to show their opposition to oil drilling as close as 3 to 10 miles off our coast. This movement will be made of people of all walks of life and will cross political affiliations. This movement is not about politics; it is about protection of our shoreline, our tourism, our valuable properties and our way of life. Let us share our knowledge, energies and passion for protecting our waterways and beaches from the devastating effects of oil drilling. Hands Across the Sand

After reviewing the Pickens Plan, I see a massive disconnect on using oil imports to promote wind power. That's how the front end of the plan reads and we all know that's not true. Wind and oil have relatively minor connectivity. Wind might be capable of providing the "20% by 2020" electricity that some dream of if the Smart Grid or methods of storing the energy are enabled but until then--I think we're stuck at less than 5%. Natural gas would reduce the need for oil if the infrastructure could be put in place to use it, but it's gone nowhere in the last 20 years-why not? Sorry, but I'm dropping my support.

This came my way with regards to "Global WHAT'S Happening"

The "background" stable CO2 concentration is below 250ppm (pre-industrial age). The latest global average is at 390ppm, rising between 1 and 2 ppm per year.
Eight of the last ten years were the hottest on record, since global measurements have been accurate enough to measure.

Estimates of the tipping point value range from 400 to 450ppm, the point at which the increase is self-sustaining -- until the poles melt completely.
Man has never faced a polar meltdown in his existence as a mammal.
We have only survived two ice ages, barely.
Only those that could migrate to the tropics survived.
We are too numerous today. There's nowhere to go.

I for one do not want to wait and see!!!!!!!!!!!! We must take serious action NOW!!!!!!!
