If you remember last year about this same time, I had a bought with a kidney stone. A week ago last Sunday, my appendix decided to rupture and had to have some surgury to remove the mess that was left behind. The surgeon told me afterwards that my inards were quite messed up and to plan on two to three weeks in the hospital. Fortunantly, with lots of prayers, I was out in nine days with the surgeon releasing me quite amazed at how well I recovered, but that I should rest and visit him in a week. Thank GOD!
So, I guess that will leave me with some time to catch up on my blogging. I am sure their is alot out there that has happened in the realm of climate change, even if all the attention is on the economy right now. (I don't even want to look at my 401K; if I even have any money to look at.)
But somehow, I'm thinking that this poor economy is not going to bode well for climate change, and I was right.
This article is a couple of weeks old, but it's telling of the relative importance of climate change amongst real world problems.
Then we have the whole EU
coming to the realization that reducing CO2 by 20% in 12 years is simply too expensive. When the money is flowing, tackling CO2 is a great idea, but not going into an economic tail spin is an even better idea. Just think if they had inacted this stuff before this global economic situation started?
