The Sahara is a desert. According to Wikipedia, it has not always been so. 7000 years ago or so, coincident with the ending of the last ice age, it seems, it was positively wet. Apparently, oddly, reduction of insolation (the amount of the sun's energy it is exposed to) actually caused it to dry out due to the effects on regional climate. This makes me wonder a bit if increasing global temperatures might cause the Sahara to bloom.
Speaking of which, the UN said today that there is a 90% chance that global warming has a human cause. Therefore, if you take that at face value, there is a 10% chance that it does not. I've noticed the pro -human caused global warming folks getting a might shrill lately. I so wish they would dis-entangle politics from this debate so I could develop some faith in the opinions.
In the aftermath of the Boston Electric Cartoon Character WMD fiasco, I learn that the "Bride Has a Massive Hair Wig Out" video on YouTube was another viral marketing campaign, this time by Unilever, a soap manufacturer. This viral marketing thing has got to stop. I'm feeling too inarticulate right now to say why, but my gut says this is wrong on many levels.
However, on the plus side, since that Democratic bastion that Boston is considered little electronic signs of cartoon characters to be WMDs, I guess it can no longer be credibly claimed that warheads full of Sarin and Mustard gas are not. Were they lying or just simply wrong when they shut down the city, costing millions of dollars?
