Letter to my critters, not that it will make any difference

[nadinbrzezinski]

I have lost all hope that things will change until we have something really dramatic, so at this point it is pretend participation... (and something is coming, the breaking point has been reached... so that is a good thing)

------------


Ok, let me get this straight... we are cutting the Tsunami Warning Centers... this is a huge WTF moment. I know republicans hate any form of government but both the Pacific and the Alaska centers SAVED lives this week. Their warnings allowed Hawaii to evacuate beach areas where otherwise people would have died. People were evacuated in places like Santa Cruz, where again people were able to survive. This is just insanity.

There is more, defund poison controls centers? WTF

And while I have your attention it is time to stop both San Onofre and El Diablo Power Plants. They are NOT certified to withstand anything. And yes, cities have nuclear plans, but we really do not want to like dust them and use them!

Oh and finally, now that the EPA is moving gear to the West Coast (you do not just move that gear for fun) how serious is this? I know time\distance yes it does diffuse but.

1. Here's a good article for you...

I saw this guy on the news last night. Note how the headline isn't really in keeping with the content... so what is new?

Edited to say... no chance, so we're just going to waste time, money, and people power setting all these devices up in your neighborhood.

2. Well, the thing to worry about, really, is the yellow line on this chart, I just received mine.

Teachers and schools can get a free poster.

Order your poster here: http://www.oilposter.org/

It's awesome, and it's important.

But the most fear-inspiring element in it, to me, is the yellow line.

Find the yellow line. Think about where it's going over time.

And think about such relationships as "Available units of energy per person".

5. Yep Peak oil

6. The yellow line...

...population. Rising. No end in sight.

And the concurrent drop in available supplies of petrol, yes, peak oil plus population growth equals wars and famine and, well, some serious drama.

:scared:
