A Belated Tribute to Earth Day


A few things to note:

1. The USA now considers Carbon Dioxide a poison. Trees could not be reached for comment.

2. The BBC is desperately trying to hold onto the "science is settled" concerning Human Caused climate change. In the wake of dramatic cooling over the past 2 years and temp levels even or in decline over the last 8 years, the Beeb has too much invested in its doom-laden headlines to give up now.

3. Curiously, a dirtier planet and sooty bits in the air is being touted as a solution for Human Caused global warming. This by the very people who railed against such industrial pollution when Earth Day was founded.

4. The co-founder of Earth Day has killed more people than America's largest nuclear disaster at Three Mile Island. Ira Einhorn, hero of the left and all around groovy fella, murdered his girlfriend after she dumped him. The man stuffed her into a trunk and kept her in his apartment for 18 months before the stench alerted neighbors and police. He fled to Europe living on the lam for 16 years before capture and extradition.

5. US air and water quality has improved markedly over the past 40 years.

6. The free enterprise capitalistic system of economics has the absolute and indisputably best environmental record in modern history. The wealth generated by this economic system can afford to clean its messes. Precisely because private business is independent from government, corruption is less pervasive leading to greater adherence to environmental standards.

Is that beautiful flower from your garden? The colouring is unusual and lovely. This is a while after the fact, I know, but I am still wondering every time I see it on your page!

Indeed it is a flower from the garden. It is one of our many Camellias.
