This is a picture of a solar storm that visited Earth in 2001 (click title of entry for film loop, thank you). It created an extensive borealis near the North Pole. So bright were some of the Northern Lights, I betcha Sarah Palin could see Russia from her front door.
This is the 'type' of natural event that has happened to Earth since the beginning of time, and before and after there was Modern Day Human Induced Global Warming. It has absolutely nothing to do with Human Induced Global Warming or any other warming for that matter. See, it isn't the 'incoming' cosmic storms that cause Earth to warm. It is the daily light from Sol, our sun, AFTER it enters Earth's troposphere and is converted BY EARTH into 'infrared' that Earth actually heats.
The lies and 'enforced' depetions of the Republican Party for decades have been toxic to the truth and this is simply one example. To enter into conversation otherwise, 'in the days of Republican domination, especially under the juvenile administration of Bush,' regarding Human Induced Global Warming, was to allow attacks that would cause real damage to the facts and allow 'doubt' to surface by those that would hammer away at 'the truth.' It is called oppression and intimidation. And for those that weren't intimidated and knew the truth, the Republicans inflicted 'hell' into daily lives.
The last eights years have been nothing short of a nightmare. When the election was stolen from Al Gore it seemed like there was some kind of 'glitch' in the voting status of the American Electorate. In reality, it was the Floridian Republican Machine at its best while insuring a victory for "W."
Then there was the defaming of John Kerry, who still has image problems due to Vietnam Veterans that can't live with 'the truth' of that war. His potential win was reclaimed by a Revolutionary Filmmaker and a man determined to protect the democracy promised to all of us by our Constitution. Those of us that saw through the deception and realized that 'profiteers' were along for the ride including main stream media, became those 'rebels' and 'counter culture' folks that would keep 'the truth' alive enough to make it count in 2006 and 2008.
Yesterday, the definition of "American Hero" returned to my vocabulary along with the FREELY SPOKEN truth regarding science and the dangers that lay ahead of us as we prepare to return balance to Earth's troposphere. There aren't muted words anymore. Every discussion can now be engaged without fear of reprisal. The 'oppression' of 'truth' is over and we now have an administration that says words like, "...planet in peril." He also said words like gay and lesbian. He isn't afraid of science and seeks expertise to find solutions based in solid math and science.
The Elections of 2008 have done more than give us our first real President to cross the racial divide. The Elections of 2008 have returned 'the freedom of speech' to our country without FEAR of reprisal. Reprisal that came swiftly through programmed lies to insure the status quo wasn't so rattled that it couldn't be recaptured at any given 'power play.'
Rovian hatred of 'the truth' is over. The USA is again a free country. I am looking forward to the day we have our new Hero in the White House and we can return our country to greatness.
Wasn't his speech something yesterday?
Why is it I am breathing easier today?
