Global Green
Get informed: Global warning myths and facts.
Before taking a stance on political, social, and environmental issues I always like to get informed first....so I can sound so intelligent to others (but that's just for my own ego. lol). Anyhow I thought I share what I found on msn.com regarding the myths and facts on global warning; so the next time people ask you why are you so concern about global warning you won't be lost with words or left with saying, "because i just do."

Watching Shaun White drop into the halfpipe at the Vancouver Games, it's easy to forget that America is the most sedentary nation on Earth.

Congratulations, compatriots: We took home the gold!
London Times: UN climate panel shamed by bogus rainforest claim
From The Sunday Times January 31, 2010 UN climate panel shamed by bogus rainforest claim A STARTLING report by the United Nations climate watchdog that global warming might wipe out 40% of the Amazon rainforest was based on an unsubstantiated claim by green campaigners who had little scientific expertise. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in its 2007 benchmark report that even a slight change in rainfall could see swathes of the rainforest rapidly replaced by savanna grassland.
