I see an economic diasater coming...

Servers ok today it seems.It seems that hunger is growing in the USA.I watched a show on public tv about Raisin City ,Calif.The firuit and vetgetable  pickers there make so little money that a quarter of the population are fed by foodbanks.And fully 23 % of all schoolkids in the USA are hungry.If kids don't eat they are sluggist,distracted and don't learn well.Some kids eat at school on friday and eat nothing over the weekend they said.

i grew up knowing frogs but according to this article:
Scientific estimates suggest that around 70 species of frogs have been wiped off the planet as a result of climate change. And this is just the tip of the iceberg considering that several species of animals, including the penguins and polar bears, have become vulnerable to extinction as a result of this increase in global temperature. Extinction of animals due to global warming is a serious issue, which will just get severe with time and several species will bear the brunt of this unless we take the necessary precautions to save them.Read more at Buzzle: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/extinct-animals-in-the-last-100-years.html

Hear, hear.
@All Trolls that are getting paid for derailing the quest for planet friendly energy alternatives, you have blood on your hands!
You are killing the planet which we borrowed from our children.
You are killing a lot of people/children because they cannot prepare for when disaster strikes.


Stop trolling and let people evolve to better beings!

http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2013/04/water-worlds-surface/  here are new worlds to explore and someday take mastery over?Hopefully we will be better humans by the time we reach them.

Astronomers have found such a planetary system orbiting the star Kepler-62. This five-planet system has two worlds in the habitable zone — the distance from their star at which they receive enough light and warmth that liquid water could theoretically exist on their surfaces. Modeling by researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) suggests that both planets are water worlds, their surfaces completely covered by a global ocean with no land in sight.

"These planets are unlike anything in our solar system. They have endless oceans," said lead author Lisa Kaltenegger of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy and the CfA. "There may be life there, but could it be technology-based like ours? Life on these worlds would be under water with no easy access to metals, to electricity, or fire for metallurgy.

The discovery raises the intriguing possibility that some star in our galaxy might be circled by two Earth-like worlds — planets with oceans and continents, where technologically advanced life could develop.

"Imagine looking through a telescope to see another world with life just a few million miles from your own. Or, having the capability to travel between them on a regular basis. I can't think of a more powerful motivation to become a space-faring society," said Sasselov.
