Is it time to give Capitalism a vacation?

Oil spills, global warming, species extinction and foreign wars in oil-producing countries all in the name of short-lived consumerism. How much more can the natural world handle?

I would appreciate hearing more on established theories of climate, by scientists whose work has become a cornerstone in understanding ice ages and climate change. Studies of oceans have confirmed many of his calculations. Milankovitch Theory describes the collective effects of changes in the Earth's movements upon its climate, named after Serbian civil engineer and mathematician Milutin Milanković. Milanković mathematically theorized that variations in eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession of the Earth's orbit determined climatic patterns on Earth, resulting in 100,000-year ice age cycles of the Quaternary glaciation over the last few million years. The Earth's axis completes one full cycle of precession approximately every 26,000 years. At the same time, the elliptical orbit rotates, more slowly, leading to a 23,000-year cycle between the seasons and the orbit. In addition, the angle between Earth's rotational axis and the normal to the plane of its orbit moves from 22.1 degrees to 24.5 degrees and back again on a 41,000-year cycle. Currently, this angle is 23.44 degrees and is decreasing. In SHORT, South Hemisphere is in perihelion in summer, aphelion in winter. Seasons are more extreme, hot summers and rain, and colder winters with more ICE accumulations. Northern hemisphere is opposite, with cooler summers and warmer winters. With Earth's eccentricity only 3.4% difference from maximum, earth is at maximum velocity. Summers in northern hemisphere are 4.66 days longer then winter, and spring 2.9 days longer then autumn. As for ozone, the discussion on the solar radiation has something to do with it, but it is way beyond my science grade.

It is the SUN that actually forms the ozone in the first place, so something is happening to the SUN that it is not doing what it is supposed to be doing.

@ Bianca Things you wrote about Milankovitch Theory are very interesting!!! Thank you, Bianca!!!

NASA has named one of the Moon's craters after the world renown scientist, Milankovich. The problem that we have today in Al Gore science fiction era, is that scientists are utterly ignored. One can just look up on Wikipedia, or any other info source, and find so much information about Milankovic's Theory. Not only that there is so much still to undrestand in relation to his theory, but the theory has been in recent times confirmed by many seminal studies by other scientists. The access to deep ocean data, as well as data from ice, makes it today possible to measure such things are radiation and carbon content for the last hundreds of thousands of years. What is nowdays consuming science is not any more the validity of theory --- that has been proven beyond doubt. But what is now being studied are variations from the standards, and what causes them. There are so many other fascinating orbital causes of deviations. Yet, what we are dealing today is the ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE CULTURE OF GREED and utter disrespect for the one and only home we have, the Earth. Today, pollution is overwhelming oceans, air, and soil. It is slowly poisoning the drinking water. The whole cycle, from the smallest algie and fish, to plants and animals, and ultimately humans, is affected by the recklessness. It has nothing to do with the need, but everything to do with the greed. Now, the same poluting corporations would like to "reinvent" themselves as the saviours of planet. But to insure the finger is not pointing at them, thre is "global warming", and since there is no such thing, renamed it "climate change". So, the problem is OURS, so they say. And they will produce MIRACLE technologies, that will be sold all over the world, paid by the "global tax", and they will profit again! Now the whole world will have to pay for corporate mess, and they get away with not paying taxes. Sweet!

The climate change scientists need to get their act together before the oeople of the world take anything they say seriously. The spending of billions of dollars before any conclusive proof is provided could turn into the greatest swindle since the Wall street swindle which just ripped off trillions of dollars. Wake up people. This may be more of the same old swindle games. Who stands to profit from a GLOBAL WARMING SCAM? Always follow the money trail. Another scam of trillions of dollars could leave the earth in worse condition and cause millions of third country people to starve to death. At this time there is no credibility for those crying wolf. We need to be sure that the wolf is really there {VERIFY}.

During the GWB "Global War On Terr-rr" the Treasurers of states Oregon and Washington Treasurers' websites had GREEN PRODUCTS readying to harness the governments and people but of course, into debt peonage worse than the HOUSING BUBBLE was/is designed to do. Begin with this one solid truth: NATURE RULES FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN. We the humans either learn this truth or not. It is up to us to get smart enough (FREE) in understanding nature and to-date, the works of Lao Tzu are still fairly well unknown so we are safe to say all the kings scientists and all the kings men are not up to understanding the first thing about which comes first, the egg or the chicken - vice versa? It is and was a scam. Global this and global that. Not a new one and not an old one either. Think about the first cons on planet earth and what they did to get the humans who were more honest, to do what it is that is done on earth: give and take. GREED? Yes, since the beginning of time and shall never disappear. What about: LAZY? We have not addressed the lazy people of the earth who want to wallow in self pity rather than pull up the bootstraps and take that first step in the thousand mile journey. THINK. We must do this in order to IMAGINE our way out of the mess which we each and every human are involved in. May not have co-created it, may not have had any consciousness of how it was/is created. However, it is still here in every cell we synapse and breath we breathe: life with no guarantees. There are the predatory in charge in this time and they prove it by killing as many humans as possible so their numbers can rule. It is up to the human beings who are not predatory to figure out how to deal with the greedy cannibalistic types and then, the obvious: co-create the world we envision as non-predatory or SANE rather than allowing the insanity of brains in humans who clearly do not share the same ideas to dictate our world's reality.

Milankovitch agrees that the sun rotates slowly in comparison with Earth's daily rotation. Michael Chodovosky's Excluded from the Copenhagen agenda article reveals rampaging reptilian recklessness content to see proselytization.

This is incredibly political, and the scope of it is not yet clear. This is a paraghraph from The Nation, one of the most progressive journals in US today. "What transpires in the negotiating rooms at COP15 will have a tremendous impact on whether there is a MASSIVE CULLING OF THE HUMAN POPULATION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DECADES. But the social movements taking to the streets of Copenhagen will also have an important impact on this likelihood. Ten years ago, tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Seattle, shutting down the World Trade Organization summit and dramatically shifting the terms of debate around capitalist globalization. The dynamic between what occurs on the streets of Copenhagen and in the negotiating rooms of Copenhagen's Bella Center promises to be just as historic" So, in which way does this "progressive" writer see the impact of Seattle? Other then a fashion show for the oh-so-intelligent, what are the results of their waunted protest? None. Many of them ended up working for the financial insitutions that ruined global economy. Nothing whatsoever has been acted on, or prevented. Same will be here. A grand fashion show attracting young and energetic, to be then channeled towards more "productive" behaviour. Like "...massive culling of human population..." God, what terminology!! The "culling" as this progressive calls it, will be due to the starvation caused by the economic collapse, of the advice given and taken by many a poor country's elite. That elite, having enriched themselves, now know that the piper will be paid. Why not call it --- act of nature! Carbon "credits" will become next speculative "market", and the game will go on. People will die not of climate, but of utter poverty and hunger that the carbon "economy" will visit upon them.

The report says that the " one man-made phenomenon – the ozone hole – is protecting the icy continent from another – global warming. and “One of the big mysteries for us was why we are seeing a warming over the Arctic but at the same time we’re seeing a cooling over the Antarctic. But before mankind could have created an ozone layer there has always been this north south temperature oscillation where the antarctic cools while the arctic warms. Perhaps this is not as significant as it appears.
