The results of a 26 year long study about the expansion of the Earth's deserts were published today in the journal Science. The study, which analyzed satellite photography from 1979 through 2005, shows that the flow of the jet streams has changed in the last few decades, resulting in larger "warm pools" on the surface of the Earth. In short, deserts are growing larger and approaching major cities. Areas that have suffered from drought will likely continue to see drought in the foreseeable future, the study predicts.
Fortunately, according to FOX News, all this is debatable.
No need to be inconvenienced by reports like this, FOX analysts said last weekend in their special "Global Warming: The Debate Continues," because the theory of climate change is just that, a theory.
While Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth (now playing at select theatres) seeks to inconvenience us with truth, I'm happy that FOX news continues to peddle convenient falsehoods. Although Science reported in December 2004 that there is sweeping, near-unanimous agreement from scientists all over the world that climate change is both real and a result of human activity, it sure would be nice to just stick to the "debate."
Back in the real world, though, it's not an inconvenience to take action to curb the tide of climate change. That's why one of our Dreams here at the Courage Campaign is to protect California's environmental heritage. Join us.

Yes, stinting climate change and using the earth's resources more efficiently are noble goals. This reminds me of a piece of news published only this past March on the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation's website.
What was that quote? Ah, yes: Just a quarter the size of Ohio, Israel is able to not only feed its 7 million residents but produces enough food to export. And it's able to do this even though only about 20 percent of the land can be farmed.
I tell you it's so refreshing hearing about people concerned with improving life, as opposed to, I don't know--wrecking it? To what would a sociologist attribute this society's positive environmental focus?
