SUMMER 2010 was kind of hot 31 deggrees in london

This hot summer showed how old people are isolated, sometimes abandoned by their own families that prefer going on holidays rather than caring for their old parents stuck in their housesor flats. The real shame in my view is not the little concern for climate but the lack of concern for the old generations kept apart from daily preocupations and a dreadful degradation in modern values.

it is written in the bible, in revelations, that the earth will not just be destroyed by water but also by fire. and now, it's happening.

Gods do not want to hurt People.. Someone is microwaving your home using power lines. Most African and European villages are Lilliputian and are in someones back lot. To fight the people that hit us with microwaves. Use the same things that kill microwave ovens. Bambo and Aluminum foil.

It needs to be put in your fence posts on the corners and at the walk way and throw some on the roof. Get  cool air. Hear the sounds of conversation.The mom calling her kid to come in the home. Life.Stop Itching

Global warming is a natural thing ..it has happened over the life of the earth. BUT! before it changed slowly over 100 or 1000s of years.. the problem is that we are accelerating the process extremely fast with are huge releases of carbon dioxide.. we may be bringing our selfs closer to the next global extinction! So its time we all start doing something about this!

...and really care about nature.

The solution for Paris is the government to buy air conditioning and distribute to the population.

Global Warming is not that huge... we had a century of global economical growth and industrial polution growth and than from 20 years ago they start saying we have global warming and we're gonna die. C'mon... does global warming really exist? Yes. But is it that huge the NGO's says? No. There are some political interests in it and economical too. But I'm not saying we shouldn't care... this warming existis, even being most a natural problem, we have to make a sustentable growth...

I get way more real news from the BBC than the U.S. "infotainment" news that focusses on the lives of celebrities, even on the Iraq war.
