;DToo bad all those folks didn't study geography (physical and cultural) and geology (the earth science)... they'd get it along wiht us. 😉
Here is a link to an article that to me highlights the hypocrisy of the GW crowd. Apparently now all of us meat-eaters are evil carbon producers as well who will never voluntarily reduce our consumption and thus our output of greenhouse gases. There is a new study in the UK that reccomends rarioning of meat and dairy products as well as emissions caps and carbon pricing to force people to eat less of these products and by extension save the planet.http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/sep/30/food.ethicalliving
People will have to be rationed to four modest portions of meat and one litre of milk a week if the world is to avoid run-away climate change, a major new report warns.
This should go over like a cement duck….
The report, by the Food Climate Research Network, based at the University of Surrey, also says total food consumption should be reduced, especially "low nutritional value" treats such as alcohol, sweets and chocolates.
In England? Get real! Large consumers of all of "low nutrional value" treats (me too ;)).
It urges people to return to habits their mothers or grandmothers would have been familiar with: buying locally in-season products, cooking in bulk and in pots with lids or pressure cookers, avoiding waste and walking to the shops - alongside more modern tips such as using the microwave and internet shopping.
And this will return English cookery to the stereotype of soggy, bland veggies and over-cooked meat... yeck!Couple of months back Carlos Mencia commented on the flap about the methane production of all the cattle... theGW saying we should reduce use of them for meat. WRONG! Eat them faster... meat eaters reduce the problem by eating faster and more!!!Beef, it's what's for dinner!
More Detroit photos.http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/2011/02/07/captured-the-ruins-of-detroit/2672/
Great and grieving photos
I had heard that San Fran also had a shortage of children. Seriously, not all that surprising seeing how it's the rainbow capital of the U.S.
Yes, my elementary school, Cabrillo, on 25th between Cabrillo and Balboa, was closed two years ago or so for lack of famiies in a neighborhood, Richmond District, now described as affluent, but when I was a boy in the 1940s and young adult, it was a lowe- middle to middle class neighborhood.
This website has more pictures of the buildings in Detroit from the Denver Post with pictures of what the buildings used to look like along with a history of some of the buildings. Forgotten Detroit
This link doesn't directly refer to ghost cities but I think it might be culturally interesting as wellhttp://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-strangest-roadside-attractions

Lucy, the Margate Elephant (#7 on that list) was part of the subject of a paper I wrote and later presented in 2009 on architecture of the 20th century which looks like other things.
