A Truth Journal: Time For New Unorthodox Solutions For Rapidly Changing Dangerous World Situations?

A Truth Journal: Time For New Unorthodox Solutions For Rapidly Changing Dangerous World Situations?: From Denny:  Watching this man-child implode in North Korea because of a rapidly deteriorating economy, placing the whole world on the brink of war and destruction, started me thinking this entire week about a radical approach for a change of world mindset, a paradigm shift.  After all, we can no longer operate on the 60-year status quo as set in place by the World War II generation after the Korean War peace signing.

It's past due time this generation institute a new program, one designed to preventing or circumventing this kind of international mess of loose cannon dictators and terror organizations that want to blow up the world. It would give the various sincere world leaders and experienced diplomats the time they need to work it out when there is an impending crisis.  Or, if all hell broke loose there is an apparatus in place globally, in every country, to do the horrifically unthinkable:  rebuild from nothing...

A Truth Journal: Hurricane Sandy: Kudos to Prez Obama For Fast Efficient Govt Responses

A Truth Journal: Hurricane Sandy: Kudos to Prez Obama For Fast Efficient Govt Responses: From Denny:  As a resident of  Louisiana, viewing the widespread and horrific devastation to New Jersey and New York From Hurricane Sandy on endless streaming news is a stark reminder of what we face each hurricane season, six months out of the year.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone experiencing difficulty and loss from the appropriately named "Frankenstorm."  It's the rebuilding that can prove testing to the human spirit.

On the Martin Bashir show (we like him at our house as he spares no unclear opinion carefully considered), he ran clips of Prez Obama with New Jersey Gov. Christie.  Kudos go out to Prez Obama setting aside the campaign and truly governing.  A cheer went up at our house when Obama announced he had "instituted the 15 Minute Rule for returning phone calls" from the politicians and officials in the devastated states.

Obama is hands on, demanding all agencies to abandon the usually frustrating red tape and give immediate help.

The Social Poets: Mississippi River Rising: Flood of the Century

The Social Poets: Mississippi River Rising: Flood of the Century: "From Denny: This weekend I traveled downtown in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to take a look for myself at the above flood stage Mississippi River in my home town proverbial back yard. Can I tell you it was a regular 'shock and awe' moment?

Just imagine for a moment a herd of elephants gone rogue and running fast and furious down hill. They are a herd packed tight and fanning out three miles wide. The Old Man River looked like those elephants were just under the water, the top of their heads barely seen in the rough choppy water.  The surface of the water looked like a 60 mile an hour wind was pushing it yet the reality was there was barely a slight breeze."

The Soul Calendar: Why Is The Arctic Warming Faster Than Rest Of Our Planet?: "At what rate is the Arctic currently warming than the rest of the planet? Try twice as fast. And everyone in the scientific community has been trying to figure out why.

Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide warm up the climate while some aerosols like sulfate, from fossil fuel combustion, are a cooling influence on global warming, acting as a counterbalance.

Energy balance on Earth affected by aerosols and clouds

Arctic clouds and aerosols are thought to influence the loss of sea ice, carving out a niche as important roles in the energy balance on Earth. We all know what a cloud is but do you know what an aerosol is?"
