Legacy Journal: Seasoning, Conventions, and Climate Blowback
Section:
FrontPage
Summary:
Question: Which Latin American country has the best record for the largest reduction in its homicide numbers over the part 10 years?
* Seasoning is a good thing. It is part of the process of self protection, sustainability, and adaptation
** The Democratic Convention in August is shaping up as a mid summer event not to be missed. The media, Denver, and the media will all benefit.
*** The oceanographic spector has returned from the deep to haunt Al Gore.
Main:
: Experience is part of the seasoning process that allows one to quickly winnow wheat from chafe. Speed of processing is part of the process of pattern recognition which is often subconscious, almost automatic and appears to short cut the ponderous gymnastics of conscious analysis, rationalizations, processing and endless reality testing.
Leaders in sports, medicine, business the military, and politics are frequently called on to use their core gut instincts when making time critical decisions.
:: Meanwhile, Democratic primary news will have may ups and downs, surges and bad weeks, twists and turns. A senior Obama foreign affairs adviser with a Harvard Law and Kennedy School pedigree, Irishlady, Samantha Powell, has resigned, left the campaign trail, and put on the plane back to Boston after an intemperate, off-the-record characterization of Hillary Clinton to a Scots newspaper reporter. Words have consequences. Meanwhile, the Clinton camp has “Ken Starred” Obama.
::: Roger Revelle, a student Gore mentor is quoted prior to his death,as believing that with technology, like the “Green Revolution” it is possible to greatly expand global agriculture and food production. Truth to be told, the 96% of Americans who do not make their daily bread as farmers and ranchers seem shocked by the 6-12 months of rising world market price of grain, meat, eggs, dairy and seed oil based food. Even malt barley for brewing beer is in short supply. At last report, Nigeria, Iceland, and Indonesia are not wheat growing countries. The facts are: export oriented manufacturing, agriculture, food processing, storage, and distribution, construction, transportation, and cold weather consumers will be disproportional disadvantaged by may of this current proposals fix the presumed problem by “georegulate” of the proported global thermostat to the “right temperature” and to ‘climate control,’ or ‘climate engineering’ the atmosphere to the “right carbon dioxide” million parts per volume (mppv).
Meanwhile, there is continuing confusion as to the interplay between weather and climate. One problem is the choice of words of words to categorize a poorly understood, complex, dynamic, and chaotic process. For example, the earth has been around for roughly 4 billion years, the oceans for almost as long, and homo sapiens for 10, 000 years. In the latest interation, be are still daunted by the challenge of understanding the biochemical workings of estimated 60 trillion cells in the human body. Modern climate science research is just beginning. So step back, take a deep breath and chill out before consigning of life as we know it to the fires of Hell.
For many living in western upstate New York, this week-end’s snow fall, temperature drop,heating fuel bills, and food market sticker shock ave only been partially blunted by the good news on the sports page. The RIT hockey team continues win and advance in NCAA tournament play.
Answer: Colombia, the second most populous Spanish speaking country in the world.
