James Ephraim Lovelock (born July 26, 1919), FRS, is an independent scientist, author, researcher and environmentalist who lives in Cornwall, in the south west of Great Britain. He is most famous for proposing and popularizing the Gaia hypothesis, in which he postulates that the Earth functions as a kind of superorganism (a term coined by Lynn Margulis).

he lays out his argument for nuclear power in more detail, as well as providing a biting insider's critique of the Green movement he has done so much to inspire, arguing "they must drop their wrong-headed objection to nuclear energy"

Lovelock argues that Gaia is in mortal danger because humankind has, in the last few decades, "ceased to be just another animal and begun the demolition of the earth" through the use of fossil fuels. He takes the grimmest possible view of global warming. He warns that if we continue business as usual, civilization will suffer catastrophic collapse. "Humans are tough enough for breeding pairs to survive", he says, but only a few in isolation in remote areas.

AN information hotline on the Government's IR changes has cost taxpayers about $80 a call.
The phone service, which also copped a barrage of complaints, cost nearly $4 million to November last year.
It received 48,000 calls.

So frogs are croaking and it’s global warming’s fault?

I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

I am with the sheik on this one. Anyone who suggests that Islam is anything but a religion of peace deserves whatever rioting or burning of buildings comes their way.

WOMEN thinking of becoming pregnant have been urged to ensure they are getting enough vitamin D, as findings suggest deficiency in pregnancy may cause the baby to develop schizophrenia in later life.

Lead researcher Darryl Eyles, of the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research, said that because the latest results were based on work on rats, a link between vitamin D deficiency and schizophrenia in humans remained to be proved. "However, there are compelling indicators that women considering becoming pregnant should ensure they have moderate exposure to sunlight, or supplement their diets with vitamin D-fortified dairy products before they conceive," he said.

So apparently the “Men” and “Women” sign on lavatory doors will be the new “Whites” and “Coloreds.” It’s a parallel world, these places, but they’re also a preview of coming attractions. Not that Wal-Marts in Oklahoma will have bathrooms next year whose doors say “YOUR CALL.”
