Temporary Changes ~:-)

Many of you are going to notice that my blog is going to take on a slightly different appearence. I don’t have access to my personal computer for a couple of months. so my recent posts will not include as  many pictures, or links as usual. and the graphic styling of the font and so on will be kind of dull and bland for now. In the meantime I will continue to update the blog and add content to it.

PS- waiting for the next inspiration.

Wake up America!!

A couple of recent events have prompted this post.

• Global Warming
• Rising oil prices
• Food crisis

Global Warming-

       I don’t quite understand the whole “Global Warming” issue. I’ve scoured the web and as with most issues there are countless websites on this subject. As you may have already discovered for yourself there are just as many sites saying that this climate change IS happening, as there are saying it is not. Here are a few sources which I found interesting on this subject.

The first offers some facts from a Canadian Scientist. Is he right? I don’t know but it is interesting never the less.

The next is an explanation from what most people believe to be a reputable source for information on nature, science, and culture.

The third is an intriguing response to the widely accepted movie “An Inconvenient Truth” It offers a different perspective.

I am not much of a conspirator, but I still somehow believe this whole issue is going to somehow end up costing me more money than it already has.

Rising Oil Prices-

As many of us know the price of oil has been reaching record breaking levels nearly every day. However how many of us actually know and understand why? I for one did not so I did some digging around on the subject. And rather than attempt to summarize it for you. I’ll simply link to relevant sources followed with how this issue has impacted in my life.

Oil Prices Cause and Effect

I skimmed this document and some of the principals and facts within it seem to make sense to me.

O.P.E.C.org

Let’s try this source. They have some interesting information.

After several hours of searching the internet, I couldn’t find any compelling information other than the sources listed above for the increase in oil prices. I am sure there are many “conspiracy theories” regarding this issue. But at this point I will turn the task over to you. Can you find any links or documents that prove that oil supply levels are in jeopardy of running dry?

If so please let me know.

 

Food Crisis-

       Another issue facing myself, the country, and the world is the rising cost of food. I am not talking about the local fast food hamburger, though that is affected. I am referring to the cost of many of the worlds staple foods such as rice, wheat, corn, dairy, and so on.

The following is my understanding of the food crisis as it exists today. Plainly put, I believe that there is something inherently wrong with the producing of food as an alternative fuel when so many people in the world still go hungry. I also feel that it is the responsibility of everyone to ensure that in an effort to reverse the effects on global warming, and solve our dependence on oil. We don’t forget that many of our own citizens as well as our worldwide counterparts are not benefiting from it, but are experiencing the negative effects of it.
