Many beekeepers estimate that, at the current rate of bee loss, there now may be only a ten year window to find a cause and a cure for this malady. In fact, the British Beekeepers Association has warned that honeybees could disappear entirely from Great Britain by 2018.
Tuesday, July 15, 2008 at 09:17PM There is a new psychiatric malady reported in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry. Dr. Joshua Wolf and Dr. Robert Sato of the Royal Children's Hospital have documented a case of a "previously unreported phenomenon" which they are calling Climate Change Psychosis. Indeed, it is a name which describes a very serious mental malady.
Friday, July 4, 2008 at 10:25AM It was all so well planned over the last seven years. Beijing 2008 was to be China's coming out party to the world. Spending billions of dollars on Beijing's Olympic venues was to be a statement of China's growing international power during these 2008 Olympic Games.
Friday, June 27, 2008 at 09:44AM Research continues on the agricultural and environmental mystery known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). However, finding a cause and a subsequent cure for the problem is fast becoming a race against time for scientists. The number of disappearing honey bees in recent years is indeed staggering.
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 at 08:06PM For many years, the United States taxpayer has helped sustain the corrupt, bureaucratic organization known as the United Nations. In fact, the United States continues to fund more than $5 billion of the United Nation‘s $20 billion dollar annual budget.
Friday, June 13, 2008 at 07:55PM Albert Einstein was quoted as saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. Unfortunately, Einstein's definition of insanity fits the United Nations handling of the sad situation in Myanmar (Burma) for the last seventeen years.

In fact, the United Nations Planetary Climate Change Council would be receiving the Nobel Peace Prize right about now. Their scientific statement would refer to Neptune, Jupiter, Mars, and Pluto as being in danger of man-made, irreversible, global climate change due to green house gas emissions.

The daily observation from the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) clearly highlights a potential global problem. In 2008, nearly every day of each of the first four months of the year has recorded an observation of sunspot activity that is equal to zero. In fact, there have been only two days in the last four months when there has been any sunspot activity at all and each small event disappeared very quickly.
Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 07:01PM The 2008 calendar indicates that another spring has arrived in the North America and the signs of the new season are everywhere. Buds have appeared on trees, heralding the arrival of new leaves. The increased daylight and the warming sun act as harbingers for the appearance of flowering plants that will soon begin their summer cycle of growth.
Tuesday, April 1, 2008 at 07:42AM You may remember that the problems in the country of Myanmar were in the headline news several months ago. The country's military junta was attracting dubious daily publicity for killing innocent monks protesting the intolerable conditions in the country. The United Nations quickly responded to the events in Myanmar by appointing a "special envoy", Ibrahim Gambarito as a liaison to improve the situation.
Thursday, March 20, 2008 at 08:23PM The 2008 Summer Olympic Games and events in Beijing are still several months away. However, sad and disturbing world headlines concerning China and these Olympic Games are everywhere.

Friday, March 7, 2008 at 09:15PM Weapons of mass destruction have been with us since the bombing events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War Two. The fear of the "wrong weapons" falling into the "wrong hands" is now an everyday consideration in our world. Unstable governments in North Korea and Pakistan have nuclear weapons. Iran continues to defy United Nations resolutions and sanctions as it attempts to obtain its own nuclear arsenal.
Friday, February 29, 2008 at 07:50PM The man-made global warming crowd is at it again. Global warming will kill the fish and destroy the coral reefs during the next fifty years according to a new report released last week by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
Monday, February 25, 2008 at 06:42PM The United Nations has named 2009 the International Year of Astronomy. The year was chosen by the United Nations because it marks the four hundred year anniversary of Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei's first observations using a telescope.
Saturday, February 16, 2008 at 10:41AM China campaigned for the 2008 Olympic Games with a promise to improve its sad record of human rights abuse and suppression of free speech. It promised world reporters "unfettered access" in the country and made a commitment to clean up the quality of the air in Beijing for the Olympic Games.
Monday, February 4, 2008 at 07:46PM Many people are worried that the cute furry polar bear will lose its ice habitat due to global warming later in this century. The polar bear does not have a real problem today, but many people worry about their future without ice nevertheless. The same concern is shared about global warming’s undesirable future impact on tigers, penguins, turtles, birds, and many other species later in this century and next.
Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 07:08PM You can see graffiti in every country in the world. It often defaces walls, poles, trains and the fronts and sides of buildings. Graffiti is considered undesirable vandalism to its victims who spend time and money to paint over or wash it off their property. Indeed, graffiti painting is an ongoing problem in many subway stations and on public walkways, signs, cement walls, and other locations.
Friday, January 25, 2008 at 08:23PM Global warming research has become a very big business throughout the world. Each year billions of dollars are spent studying climate change. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), now has an annual budget that has reached more than $136 million. The Bush Administration has spent more than thirty billion dollars on federal programs involved in global warming in the last six years. In total, global warming proponents are estimated to have been funded by more than fifty billion dollars during the last decade.
