It Ain't Easy Being Green
Author: BobR
Date: 11/14/2008 12:35:46
We've had a lot of reasons to hate Bush and the Right-wing noise machine (RWNM) over the last 8 years, including (but not limited to) war, dehumanizing whole sectors of society, and greed. Greed makes people do bad things: they push aside ethical behavior, they trample on other people in their path, and they put the concerns of business over everything else.
That "else" would include the air we breathe and the water we drink. The Bush Administration (with the help of the RWNM) has spewed enough truthiness into the debate, that any real progress has been effectively quelled. The result has been an acceleration of global warming to a point where we are poised on the precipice of disaster, if we haven't gone over the edge already.
The citizens of the Maldives apparently think we've gone over it. They are currently looking for a new island, because theirs is slowly being inundated:
Funny thing - I remember environmental scientists warning us about this for years, and the RWNM calling them Chicken Littles (or "environmental terrorists"). Turns out the scientists were right. Maybe there IS something to this whole "science thing" after all... :rolleyes2:
Fortunately, we will have a new president in a couple months, one that will actually try to do something about it. In fact, he has said he will act "quickly":
The one aspect of Obama's environmental policy that has some people concerned is his seeming support for "Clean Coal" technology. What is it? It's essentially a collection of methods to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere. The problems, of course, are that the carbon (dioxide) ends up going someplace else, some of the methods are worse than the cure, and mining for coal is a great way to destroy a mountain... or an entire range. "Clean Coal" is yet another misnomer from the people that gave us the "Clean Skies Initiative", the "Healthy Forests Initiative", and "No Child Left Behind" (At least they didn't give us "jumbo shrimp").
Coal power is so early 20th century that there are organized groups that want us to end our dependence on coal. In fact, the Rainforest Action Network is having a national Day of Action Against Coal Finance over the next ... um ... two days (it's a very long day) - today and tomorrow. The idea is to push "banks to stop funding coal development and other carbon-intensive projects that contribute heavily to global climate change, and to elicit meaningful emission reduction targets for their operations and investments".
Take a look and see if you can participate in any protest. You might need to squeeze it in with a Prop 8 protest tomorrow, but you can just make a day of it. The planet will thank you.

The citizens of the Maldives apparently think we've gone over it. They are currently looking for a new island, because theirs is slowly being inundated:
Many scientists believe that, given enough political will, humanity can still manage to avoid catastrophic climate change. But the president-elect of the Maldives isn’t taking any chances.
Mohamed Nasheed, who was sworn in Tuesday as the Maldives’ first democratically elected president, says that rising sea levels threaten to inundate the tiny Indian Ocean island nation. He has announced plans for a fund to buy land elsewhere in the region, where the country’s population, estimated to be about 386,000, could rebuild their lives.
[...]
The UN climate panel predicts that, unless greenhouse emissions are curbed, sea levels could rise by 25 to 58 centimeters by the end of the century. More recent studies, such as this one published in the journal Science, sharply increase the projected sea level rise, to as high as two meters.
If this happens, the Maldives would be uninhabitable. But Maldivians wouldn’t be the first population displaced by global warming.
That distinction probably belongs to the half million residents of Bangladesh’s Bhola Island whose homes were swallowed in 1995 by rising sea levels. In 2005, the 1,600 residents of Papua New Guinea’s Carteret Islands began evacuation, as the advancing sea continued to destroy gardens, sink homes, and contaminate freshwater supplies. Also that year, 100 residents of Vanuatu’s island of Tegua had to be evacuated as their homes became permanently flooded.
Other low-lying Pacific islands that could disappear in this century include those in Tuvalu, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, and Fiji.
Funny thing - I remember environmental scientists warning us about this for years, and the RWNM calling them Chicken Littles (or "environmental terrorists"). Turns out the scientists were right. Maybe there IS something to this whole "science thing" after all... :rolleyes2:
Fortunately, we will have a new president in a couple months, one that will actually try to do something about it. In fact, he has said he will act "quickly":
Barack Obama, who has spent much of the time since his election closeted with his advisers in Chicago, sent a strong signal yesterday that he plans a decisive break with George Bush on environmental policy once he moves into the White House.
The move was part of a carefully coded series of messages from Obama meant to reassure America and the world about the shape of his administration, which does not assume power until January 20.
[...]
In one such signal the president-elect sent Jason Grumet, a policy adviser mentioned for a possible energy post, to an environmental conference in Washington to offer reassurances that there would be swift movement on climate change legislation. "The whole transition team felt it important to be here," Grumet said. "I think it is going to be a very very busy 2009, and I think we are going to need all of you to be on top of your game."
[...]
It was the second time in 24 hours that Obama had tried to reassure the world that he wanted a radical departure from Bush's policy on the environment. Obama has said repeatedly that the global economic crisis remains his top priority, but John Podesta, part of the troika overseeing the transition, said on Tuesday that the environment was at the top of the Democrats' agenda. "I anticipate him moving very aggressively and very rapidly on the whole question of transforming the energy platform in the United States from high carbon energy to low carbon energy," he said.
The one aspect of Obama's environmental policy that has some people concerned is his seeming support for "Clean Coal" technology. What is it? It's essentially a collection of methods to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere. The problems, of course, are that the carbon (dioxide) ends up going someplace else, some of the methods are worse than the cure, and mining for coal is a great way to destroy a mountain... or an entire range.

Is anyone else hoping that these leaks about Secretary of State are just not true?
I mean I can see Bill Richardson in the role since he's already been UN Ambassador, but please not Clinton OR Kerry. Keep them in the Senate.

Well that's the heart of it - she doesn't exactly have the best track record politically, and more than proved that she doesn't have the temperment to fit with such responsibility. Whereas Richardson's been in such a position before and is a known quantity.

Surprisingly enough, I think there are more qualified candidates out there. While I'd have no problems with Sen. Clinton in the Obama cabinet (Health and Human Services, anyone?) I don't think she'd make a particularly effective SecState.
I said in 2003 when our Junior Senator announced..."President? No way. But wouldn't he make an awesome Secretary of State?" I still think he would be a great one. But I'm holding out hope for Gov. Richardson. His foreign policy skills and experience were the primary reason I supported him in the early going, and his endorsement of Obama was the reason I switched.
Anyway...

Good Morning all! :coffee:
I am left wondering as well about the HRC rumours. I found this yesderday
It was Andrea Mitchel who is claiming this story-- that is it, the rest of the media picked up on it and ran.
I think it is someone doing some wishful thinking, personally.
I just don't think that PE Obama is going to be picking sitting senators for Cabinet positions. I know the exception may be John Kerry.
And I personally thing that Howard Dean would do a great Job at Health and Human Services.
I am left wondering as well about the HRC rumours. I found this yesderday
CNN is reporting that sources close to President-elect Barack Obama's transition team say New York Senator Hillary Clinton is one of several candidates being considered for secretary of state.
However, a source close to Clinton told NY1 Thursday that the senator has yet to be contacted about that, or any other cabinet position.
A Clinton spokesman told CNN any speculation about the senator having a part in the upcoming Obama administration should be addressed by his transition team.
The Obama team also mentioned Clinton as a potential vice presidential candidate but never actually discussed the position with her.
Clinton is scheduled to speak at a conference on mass transit Friday in Albany.

Congress tried to pass better health care for children. But he voted no. Lower drug prices for seniors. He said no. Tax cuts for middle-class Georgia families. He said no.
“For six years, Saxby Chambliss has been part of the gridlock that’s hurt the middle class.”
Once McCain, the former GOP presidential candidate, has left town and clears the airwaves, look for Chambliss or his surrogates to respond in kind.

Good morning everyone.
It sounds like traveling to DC is going to get too expensive for me to make it. My car is no longer in a condition to take long trips and I'm sure even the flight from NYC is now going to be a small fortune and I pretty much gave up on any hope of getting lodging in the DC Metro area.

Finally have a link on the Indian Moon landing.
An Indian probe landed on the moon on Friday, the Indian Space Research Organisation announced, in a milestone for the country's 45-year-old space programme.
The probe touched down on the moon at 8:34pm (1504 GMT), 25 minutes after it was ejected from an unmanned spacecraft orbitting the moon, a spokesman said.

I know theirs a reasonably priced bus that comes from NYC (Raine took it to the first AAP meetup / protest march). You could take the last bus out. That would save you the cost of hotel room, you'd still get to see the inauguration, and hang out for a while.
Of course, you wouldn't be able to party afterwards and pass out on the bed... :P

New Blackwater Scandal?
A federal grand jury in North Carolina is investigating allegations the controversial private security firm Blackwater illegally shipped assault weapons and silencers to Iraq, hidden in large sacks of dog food, ABCNews.com has learned.
Under State Department rules, Blackwater is prohibited from using certain assault weapons and silencers in Iraq because they are considered "offensive" weapons inappropriate for Blackwater's role as a private security firm protecting US diplomatic missions.
"The only reason you need a silencer is if you want to assassinate someone," said former CIA intelligence officer John Kiriakou, an ABC News consultant.

Happy Fridee! Thanks for the cuteness of baby animals. 
We made DC hotel reservations about six months ago and flying machine reservations on November 5. We also became very popular on November 5, so dibs on the couches and floor have been placed. Not sure about the tub and shower stall. If someone has the ability to curl up like a snake, have at it. We can close the bedroom door, so what goes on in the living room will stay in the living room.
We don't have snow in these here parts, but even we know they're called snowmobiles. Snap.

I'll drink if I am able to go. But, if there is a snowstorm forget it.

And I do hope things work out for you ShelaghC wherever you are.

Ah, Herr Bush may be "gracious upon exiting", but Barney is having none of that...
*grunt* Let's see if he keeps his promise for a smooth transition. Everything else he's said has been a lie...

It's a pretty good movie. I'll recommend it highly, even though the bad guy is that tool Jim Caviezel..
Oh wait.. that's not the movie :lol:

So I stopped on the way home and was in the mood for something munchy (no, I never did get that delivery so I'm not stoned) yet out of the ordinary..
I ended up buying a couple bags of this stuff.. OMG it's SO DAMN GOOD!

Evening all. Great blog BobR!
Hoping some of you can make it to one of the National Day of Prop 8 protests. Sadly, I cannot as I have work. But my teenage boss has promised to go in my stead!
