American arrogance is well known around the world. The feeling that the American way is the best way is the driving force behind the arrogance. But in reality American arrogance is almost certainly fueling the Anti American anger that has American troops deployed in places like Afghanistan and other such hot spots.

The Katrina template
Is is both ironic and interesting that the US is making such a big thing about the 5 year anniversary of hurricane Katrina. For now at this point in US history it is a significant event that overwhelmed the resources of the US. But unfortunately in the future it will be seen in a different light as just a routine big storm with typical and expected damage. Continue reading Post ID 10685

Global warming the believe it or not mind game
It has been an interesting watch from the sidelines as some try to make people believe that global warming is a hoax. This and the emails saying data is wrong or distorted, is just part of the mind game. The question is who is behind this quasi conspiracy if anyone at all. Continue reading Post ID 10685

Sudden global climate change expected Part 2
With a sudden change in climate, we simply will not have time to compensate for food production. Crops will suddenly fail and near global famine will set in quickly perhaps in months. Continue reading Post ID 10685

Sudden global climate change expected Part 1
The last chance global warming summit for the most part was a failure. And listening to the inconsistency of the spin from each country on the outcome simply spells despair. Continue reading Post ID 10685

In some disaster movies there is an ingenious idiot that seems to bypass or disable some safety feature or failsafe causing a horrendous catastrophe. As with all good movies, they have their basis in reality, and in Copenhagen during the last chance climate summit we may have just seen that happen. Continue reading Post ID 10685

Ancient Biohazards emerging from global warming
Admittedly this could be rephrased for a ‘B’ movie titled “It came from the ice”, but we are not talking movies. What we are talking about are viruses and other biologicals that have been frozen in the ice thousands of years and are now melting out from global warming. The biggest concern is we may have no natural resistance to them. Continue reading Post ID 10685

Katrina was nothing
Hurricane Katrina most certainly make it’s mark in the minds of many in America as it flooded New Orleans, but that is nothing when compared to what is coming when all that ice in Antarctica finally melts when global warming takes over. If you can imagine inland cities like Hartford Connecticut becoming beach front cities, then you will have some idea of just how much ice is getting ready to melt. Continue reading Post ID 10685

Global warming final tipping point
As the earth continues to warm we start to pass tipping points in different parts of the world. At some point not too long from now we will pass the final tipping point that will set off rapid and major changes all with undesirable consequences. Continue reading Post ID 10685

Off target sea level rise predictions
Being wrong about how fast global warming will change our planet seems to be the norm. As we have no models to use as templates, our best scientists best guesses are off actual times by several decades. The bad part is the actual times are much sooner than what was predicted.
