Free Investment Newsletter | Invest Yourself: I really like what they (Robert B. Rinear) say on the currency. That all seems very very true. The currencies in the world are all crap. The best may be Japan and they can’t keep the Yen low enough to be a competitive exporter so it is wreaking havoc on their economy… The Yankee Dollar is a piece of crap.

The good news, if you can call it that is sea levels appear to have been rising far slower during the first century of the industrial revolution than previously measured (estimated). Apparently the tidal measures that have been around for centuries didn’t represent some…
Trenberth on Tracking Earth’s energy: A key to climate variability and change This is a serious analysis of the energy flows of the earth systems. You simply look at energy as a budget (but hopefully not with the same budget processes as many of the countries use like the PIIGS and the USA). You have so much energy coming in.
