The Real Children's Fantasy

Here's one more children's' fantasy video. We already have Lion, Witch & the Wardrobe, Bridge to Terabithia, The Golden Compass, and all those other generic ones where the bummed out kid is befriended by a talking animal who tells them they are a prince/princess. This new one makes Where The Wild Things Are look like The Wizard of Oz. In this movie the animals don't talk but are instead all dying and the kids no longer wonder if they'll make the basketball team but if they'll even have food to eat or potable water by the time they're old.

"What a Tough Season"

"What a tough season." That'd make a great chapter title for a Ken Burn's doc if he were still making doc's in 50 years when global warming is really kicking our ass. That quote if from a Wisconsin farmer describing the utter nightmare that this season has been.

"It's all because of the weather," Lauer confirms. "July -- corn's big growing month -- was one of the coolest ever, and from mid-September on it's been damp and cool."

This is from a separate article also commenting on the potential for a moldy corn harvest or to having to leave the soy in the fields if it were to snow. Is the strange weather patterns a sign of global warming? There's a good chance of it. Though not all farmer's agree.

Grain harvest is late this year, and it's all because of the cool spring, summer and fall. "We need a little of that global warming we hear so much about," a Dane County corn grower recently said. "I really want to get the corn and beans harvested before the snow flies."

Is this not like saying Candyman five times into a mirror? I would only wish this kinda weather on Wall Street execs.

Disney and Global Warming

What a scary interpretation via Disney Co of what global warming would be! You could say the the government's attempt to solve the problem has been an "utter failure" of it's own.
