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. But we are less crappy then the Yuan or the Euro. We are…
Scientists Warn of Rising Oceans From Polar Melt – NYTimes.com: Or: http://nyti.ms/1sEIHC3 Studies published in the journals Science (here) and Geophysical Research Letters (here) magazine find that the antarctic is melting, probably at a very very fast pace. The terms “beyond the point of no return” and “unstoppable” are used to describe the collapse of this glacial area in Antarctica. How long it will take is harder to predict.

Dr. Patrick Moore was recently pointed out to me as a qualified scientist and a active skeptic of Global Warming. Read about Moore on Wikipedia. He was an active founder of Greenpeace, but left the greenie…
Natural gas, the media’s failures, and you « The Cost of Energy: Ouch! “The Cost of Energy” Lou Grinzo blogs (and reblogs) about how unclear NatGas really is. It all has to do with the Methane released from the fracking. See the reprint of the blog at EthicsAndClimate.org from Dr. Brown. Sadly NatGas may really not be cleaner than Coal. How dirty is that! Here’s my comments over to Lou’s post. Okay, as always, your…
Climate change: Sea ice, global cooling, and other nonsense: I was rather pleased in my travels last week to get a glimpse of the news that the Arctic ice caps had been expanding again. They had been shrinking, and getting smaller at an increasing rate, so statistically, we were certainly due for a recovery. I saw a 60% recovery, however, so I was a little skeptical.
