If you thought drought was bad before Human Induced Global Warming, then you ain't seen nothin' yet.

This is a Cyanobacteria (Blue-Green Algae) Bloom in the Baltic Sea. Below is the reference that speaks to the issues Florida NOW faces from drought due to Human Induced Global Warming. There is no reason for any other country to carry more responsiblity for this plight other than the USA. Russia is a member of Kyoto. China has already stated it is taking steps to 'prevent' their economy from causing additional problems to the tropospheric biotic nature of Earth. It is the USA that stands on the sidelines and does nothing.

...Florida's situation illustrates the need for more and better information on the human health effects of cyanobacteria. Florida surface waters are significantly contaminated by toxin-producing cyanobacteria. Of 167 samples taken from Florida waters in a 1999 study, 88 samples representing 75 individual bodies of water contained significant levels of toxic cyanobacterial species, says John Burns, Jr., an environmental scientist for the St. Johns River Water Management District in Palatka, Florida. Seventy-eight percent of samples with measurable levels of microcystins and cylindrospermopsin were lethal when injected into mice, and 80% of the microcystin-laden samples showed potential tumor-producing properties....

At issue is the fact the USA stopped advancing the need for Phycologists and there are currently about six in the USA that still can identify these species to delineate whether they are toxic and how toxic they actually are. The priorities of the USA has moved away from taking care of it's people so much as exploiting them for wealth. The infrastructure of the USA needs to be rebuilt including it's brain trust, especially in the face of Human Induced Global Warming.

Lake Okeechobee reaches record low

Deep cracks cover the bottom of what should be five-feet deep Lake Okeechobe near Okeechobee, Fla. in this May 1, 2007 file photo. State water and wildlife managers are taking advantage of unprecedented drought conditions by removing life-choking muck along Lake Okeechobee's shoreline. The 500,000 cubic yards of rotted, dead plant life and sediment will be trucked from the southwest portion of the lake starting Thursday, May 23, 2007, to pastures for disposal. Its removal over several months will return the lake's bottom along its shoreline in that area to a more natural sandy base and create clearer water and better habitat for plants and wildlife.




Lake Okeechobee reached a record low Wednesday, and experts said little relief is in sight for Florida's drought.
It's confirmed: Florida's deepening drought has dehydrated Lake Okeechobee to a record low.
The lake officially stood at 8.97 feet above sea level early Wednesday, matching its lowest level since record-keeping began in 1931. Then, it didn't rain again, and the sun evaporated water from the lake again.
''We know we're sitting at a new record low,'' Randy Smith, a spokesman for the South Florida Water Management District, said Wednesday evening, ``but how much of a record low, we won't know until the morning.''
The most severe water restrictions in South Florida history already are in effect and are expected to continue well into the summer rainy season.
Those lawn-crunching, plant-shriveling measures reduced water use by 25 to 30 percent, Smith said, but nature provided precious little assistance.
An average of just seven inches of rain has fallen across the region during the last five months, according to district gauges, well below normal.
''There's nothing coming back in,'' Smith said. ``There's just no recharge whatsoever.''
Lake Okeechobee serves as the primary backup water supply for millions of South Floridians. But when the lake drops below a certain level, its waters cannot be used to replenish the regional supply....



Under the Jeb Bush administration there was a measure issued to determine how to utilize surface ground water and shallow water sources because it was reported by Florida scientists that the human water supply for Florida would be extremely insuffienct by the year 2010. There was one glitch however in the Jeb Bush plan and that was the contamination by Blue Green Algae of most of Florida's shallow water supply. The components of Blue Green Algae are known to be some of the most toxic to humans of any algae species. The 'BUSHES' need to get off their tuffs and stop the carbon dioxide emissions from the USA, otherwise, the international community should consider sanctions against the USA to force compliance ! If Jeb Bush ignored the threat to the people of Florida he 'ruled' over for many years, it can be easily concluded there will be extreme measures of manipulation by the Bush/Cheney White House to evade any responsibly or action. The Supreme Court ruled in this nation. Bush and Cheney are ignoring that decision. Every international environmental meeting since that ruling has never reflected the Supreme Court's decision. The Oval Office is out of control and evidently out of the reach of the American electorate. The international community has to act against the USA.

Read my lips, "No shared environmental standards !"

This was Georgie at his cabinet meeting this morning, pointing a finger at every other nation on Earth for causing Human Induced Global Warming. Interesting to watch him have a hissy fit, isn't it? After all, he is "The Decider" and he has decided everyone in the world besides himself needs to 'shape up' or 'else.'

The most ludicrous cronyism came from NASA itself today. Who do these people think they are?

NASA Chief Questions Urgency of Global Warming (click here)

...To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change....

The people 'answering to' Bush and the Bush administration are soulless and highly immoral ! End of Discussion ! Their words mean nothing ! Impeach Bush and Cheney and fire that jerk at NASA! This is the United States of America. The Benevolent Leader of the Free World. The USA is in dire need of leadership and soon.

Warming as dangerous as war, U.N. chief says (click here)
Upheaval from droughts, floods 'likely to become a major driver of war'
UNITED NATIONS - Human-induced global warming poses as much danger to the world as war, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Thursday as he urged the United States to take the lead in the fight against global warming.
In his first address on the subject at the U.N. General Assembly hall, Ban said he would emphasize the climate crisis with the leaders at a June meeting in Germany of the Group of Eight industrialized nations — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, the United States and Russia.
“The majority of the United Nations work still focuses on preventing and ending conflict,” Ban told an international U.N. school conference on global warming. “But the danger posed by war to all of humanity and to our planet is at least matched by the climate crisis and global warming.”

The statement from Michael Griffin is nothing but personal views that lack moral character. There is absolutely no scientific basis for the 'attitude' or 'ideas' he holds as loftier than life. End this already. Impeach Bush and Cheney.
