The climate change debate is intensified by a heat wave on the east coast. The debate was hot when blizzards hit the east also. Extreme weather events are getting used by both sides to support their global warming arguments within the debate about climate change and energy bill in Congress. And just in time for the heat wave, a British panel exonerated the "Climategate" scientists, saying it found no evidence that the group manipulated any of their research to back up global warming. 2010 is turning out to be the hottest year in history.

UK Election Results In A Hung Parliament

The UK election result is a hung parliament, as suspected. While the term itself may avail itself to juvenile humor, a hung parliament is really not that humorous. The last hung parliament from a General Election was in 1974, and it took 8 months to fix. I'll be giving a free brush up on what the terms mean, so you won't have to give me any instant money to do so. (Well, you are able to if you would like to.)

Americans Should Toast The Battle Of Puebla On Cinco De Mayo

The Battle of Puebla, which occurred on Cinco De Mayo, has been co-opted by corporate The United States as a marketing chance to sell tequila and Mexican-style food. Americans have been conditioned to believe that May 5 is Mexican Independence Day, and celebrate by taking shots and eating enchiladas. In a way, May 5 appears to be more about debt repair than about drinking cocktails.

Growing up in the 90's I never heard the word sustainability. Come to think of it, I had never heard of sustainability until my freshman year of college at Western Washington University. I was always familiar with conservation, recycling and pollution, but never used the term sustainability.
