I'm guessin the mugiwara pirates will hear about Ace at Impel Down on the next island, the under sea paradise Merman Isl I get the feeling tho that Whitebeard is gonna make a move against the WG who is using Teach as their trump card. Whitebeard was already so pissed at Teach he wanted him dead and now Teach has taken away the old mans #2 if whitey goes to war against the WG would Teach step in and try to take the old mans spot as one of the 4? Could teach kill him, suck him in and never let him out? What about Shanks? He wants to be the one to fight Teach. eeeeeeeeeeeee With one (or maybe even 2!) of the 4 tangeling w the WG would the revolutionaries then be free to make some huge drastic move? I think we'll be seeing the incident that was the result of Ace vs Teach soon!!!

I think its a cool idea. Imagine if everyone did it and we got a picture of dark earth from space; it would be like looking at what's to come if we don't take action to protect our future from climate destabilization.

http://www.worldwildlife.org/earthhour/ A global event created to symbolize that each one of us, working together, can make a positive impact on climate change Earth Hour is a global event created to symbolize that each one of us, working together, can make a positive impact on climate change - no matter who we are or where we live. Building off the program that was piloted in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, the event will be replicated in over 12 cities worldwide in 2008. Earth Hour is intended to bring together a diverse group of community, municipal, corporate and nongovernmental organizations to heighten awareness about climate change and to inspire consumers and businesses to take practical actions to reduce their own carbon footprints. Earth Hour: March 29, 2008 8 - 9 PM - Cities around the world will join together in literally turning off the lights for one hour to offer leadership and symbolize their commitment to finding climate change solutions. - Lights will be turned off at iconic buildings and national landmarks from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. - Local businesses and restaurants will also be asked to turn off their lights. - People at home can take advantage of the hour by replacing their standard light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. "This is the perfect opportunity for individuals, governments, businesses and communities around the world to unite for a common purpose, in response to a global issue that affect us all." - Carter S. Roberts, President and CEO WWF Contact us to get involved.

no time to watch and I got burnt out on ACDC a loooooooooooooong time ago

Well, climate change is even effecting domesticated animals and racking up my vet bills. My dog has developed allergies to something that occurs in fall and should be frozen in fuckin January, but with the fluctuating temps this winter whatever the hell it is isn't frozen or gone its making her itch. It's not just my mutt either, there was a woman in the office getting her itchy dog a shot too. The vet was telling us he's seen a ton of cases this winter for allergens that should be dead n frozen by now (I suspect leaf mold because of all the big maples in the yard) thank you fuckin exxon mobile I'd love to send you the bills

If there is a nerochemical imbalance, yeah. Otherwise I'd be more concerned with the asshair on the corner packin heat <.<

If you had a Death Note...

..........but nobody here would leave the note and walk away we're all a bunch of murdering bastards -
everybody wants off world X'D

dump them both and concentrate on bettering yourself. hopefully you'll meet a better class of asshole in college

Unless you're unable to read the dosage directions on a bottle of pills there is no such thing as accidental overdose. Most life insurance policies don't cover suicide which is why there is an investigation going on.

fuck fuck and OMG. Poor Zoro. Kuma probably left him for dead, Zoro looked mostly dead standin there. Looked dangerously pissed off too. I'm not suprised he could survive taking Luffy's pain and fatigue cuz Zoro is monstrously strong himself but all at once like that and how much did Luffy's DF abilities affect the pain. It's not as if normal humans can heat up their blood and bodies or blow up their bones.... AND how much of that pain wasn't just Luffy but Nightmare Luffy and all the shadows he had crammed inside of him. >.< I don't think anybody other then Zoro coulda took that blast. He knew bad shit and probable death was comin down and thats why he took Sanji outta the equation. It wasn't pride or competition, Zoro just didn't think Sanji would live thru Kuma, Zoro had the better chance of survival. Also, because he lived I think Kuma will feel it his right and obligation to collect Zoro's head after he duels Mihawk again for the win. Luffy's taken out 2 Shichibukai both DF users. Mugiwara pirates also took out CP9, who we know was investigating Dragon. They escaped Enies Lobby and Grandpa Garp, but not before Garp dropped in long enough to say all kindza shit about Dragon. Kuma mentions Dragon in this last chapter. All this ass kicking has led to throwing the balance of the 3 powers off kilter.It was said that when there is a disruption in the Shichibukai one of the 4 emperors usually makes some kind of a big move. To the WG dismay Shanks and Whitebeard had their meeting and to Shanks dismay the old bastard wouldn't call Ace off. The Ace/Blackbeard fight sparks some huge incident that hasn't caught up to Sunny yet. All they know is the pose has been pointing down since Water 7, fish people like Kokoro are next underwater. Impel Down is underwater, after the merfolk island. Ace, Bon Clay and Sir Crock are all there. Will Whitebeard or Shanks be content to leave Ace sitting in jail? Would Luffy? Would Ace already have it all figured out how to get out and just need a ship to get away on? Mmmmaybe? Oda keeps droppin Dragon's name like an f bomb, we're gonna see some shit going on with the revolutionaries no doubt.

its simple You're too old and have too many responsibilities to stay with someone that does not help you and treats you like 2nd best. "Love" don't amount to a pile of cold shit once you've grown up unless its the love you have for your kids.

What would happen to planet earth if the human race were to suddenly disappear forever? Would ecosystems thrive? What remnants of our industrialized world would survive? What would crumble fastest? From the ruins of ancient civilizations to present day cities devastated by natural disasters, history gives us clues to these questions and many more in the visually stunning and thought-provoking new special LIFE AFTER PEOPLE, premiering Monday, January 21st, 2008 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on The History Channel®. Buildings Decomposing Abandoned skyscrapers would, after hundreds of years, become "vertical ecosystems" complete with birds, rodents and even plant life. One small animal might be responsible for bringing down the Hoover Dam hydroelectric plant. Swelled rivers, crumbling bridges and buildings, grizzly bears in California and herds of buffalo returning to the Great Western Plains: In a world without humans, these would be the visual hallmarks. Our cars would shrivel to piles of dust, our house pets would be overtaken by flourishing wildlife and most of the records of our human story�books, photos, records�would fade quickly, leaving little evidence that we ever existed. Eiffel Tower Decomposing Using feature film quality visual effects and top experts in the fields of engineering, botany, ecology, biology, geology, climatology and archeology, Life After People provides an amazing visual journey through the ultimately hypothetical. The 1986 nuclear power plant accident at Chernobyl and its aftermath provides a riveting and emotional case study of what can happen after humans have moved on. Life After People goes to remote islands off the coast of Maine to search for traces of abandoned towns, beneath the streets of New York to see how subway tunnels may become watery canals, to the Montana wilderness to divine the destiny of the bears and wolves. Humans won't be around forever, and now we can see in detail, for the very first time, the world that will be left behind in Life After People.

article by Staff Writers Washington DC (SPX) Dec 04, 2007 Global agriculture, already predicted to be stressed by climate change in coming decades, could go into steep, unanticipated declines in some regions due to complications that scientists have so far inadequately considered, say three new scientific reports. The authors say that progressive changes predicted to stem from 1- to 5-degree C temperature rises in coming decades fail to account for seasonal extremes of heat, drought or rain, multiplier effects of spreading diseases or weeds, and other ecological upsets. All are believed more likely in the future. Coauthored by leading researchers from Europe, North America and Australia, they appear in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). In order to keep pace with population growth, current production of grain-from which humans derive two-thirds of their protein-will probably have to double, to 4 billion tons a years before 2100. Existing research estimates that developing countries may lose 135 million hectares (334 million acres) of prime farm land in the next 50 years. After mid-century, continuing temperature rises-5 degrees C or more by then--are expected to start adversely affecting northern crops as well, tipping the whole world into a danger zone. The authors of the PNAS studies say that much of the previous work is oversimplified, and as a consequence, the potential for bigger, more rapid problems remains largely unexplored. "The projections show a smooth curve, but a smooth curve has never happened in human history," said Tubiello. Other new models suggest that higher temperatures will limit the ability of modern dairy-cow breeds to convert feed into milk, and lead to declines in livestock fertility and longevity. As temperatures rise in northerly latitudes, the ability of crop pests to survive winters is expected to improve, enabling them to attack spring crops in regions where they were previously kept at bay during this vulnerable time. The authors say that farmers may temporarily mitigate some effects of changing climate by moving toward adaptations now. Adaptations already being considered or set up include regional climate-forecasting systems that enable farmers to switch to different crops or change the timing of plantings; introduction of new varieties or species that can withstand anticipated conditions; and improved flood-mitigation and water-storage facilities.

faster than 10 yrs ago The measurements, which surveyed the coasts of nearly the entire continent, suggest that climate models underestimate how quickly Antarctica responds to ongoing global warming, said study co-author Jonathan Bamber of the University of Bristol in England. They found that for Antarctica overall, the ice loss increased about 75 percent over the ten-year period, from 112 gigatons of ice per year in 1996 to 196 gigatons of ice per year in 2006. As to whether Antarctica will lose or gain ice as global warming proceeds, the measurements disagree with existing climate models that suggest "[the ice sheet] is going to get bigger because of increased snowfall with warming temperatures," Bamber said. "We don't see that. We see the ice sheet losing mass," he said. "So there's a bit of a paradigm shift in what the ice sheet has done recently and what it could do in the future." Scientists are concerned the melting ice will contribute to a dangerous sea level rise. The "most likely explanation" for the increased ice loss is that warming waters are melting away ice at the grounding point, according to Bamber. "That's causing the buttressing effect of the ice shelves to be less [effective], and that's allowing the glaciers to flow faster into the ocean," he said.

Slideshow 2007 was the warmest on record for Earth's land areas Highlights of 2007 included an intense heat wave that engulfed western and central Russia in May, the climate center reports. For the first time in 128 years, Moscow experienced sustained May temperatures of 86 degrees or higher. A scorching heat wave in southeastern Europe in June and July prompted record levels of electricity demand and more than 130 wildfires. In the USA, an August heat wave set more than 2,000 new daily high temperature records. Eight states experienced their warmest August on record. Overall, 2007 was the 10th-warmest year in the USA since records began in 1895, with an annual average temperature of 54.2 degrees, the climate center reported last week. Global Cooling South America this year experienced one of its coldest winters in decades. In Buenos Aires, snow fell for the first time since the year 1918. Dozens of homeless people died from exposure. In Peru, 200 people died from the cold and thousands more became infected with respiratory diseases. Crops failed, livestock perished, and the Peruvian government declared a state of emergency. Unexpected bitter cold swept the entire Southern Hemisphere in 2007. Johannesburg, South Africa, had the first significant snowfall in 26 years. Australia experienced the coldest June ever. In northeastern Australia, the city of Townsville underwent the longest period of continuously cold weather since 1941. In New Zealand, the weather turned so cold that vineyards were endangered. Last January, $1.42 billion worth of California produce was lost to a devastating five-day freeze. Thousands of agricultural employees were thrown out of work. At the supermarket, citrus prices soared. In the wake of the freeze, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger asked President Bush to issue a disaster declaration for affected counties. In April, a killing freeze destroyed 95 percent of South Carolina's peach crop, and 90 percent of North Carolina's apple harvest. At Charlotte, N.C., a record low temperature of 21 degrees Fahrenheit on April 8 was the coldest ever recorded for April, breaking a record set in 1923. On June 8, Denver recorded a new low of 31 degrees Fahrenheit. Denver's temperature records extend back to 1872. climate surprises January was the warmest first month on record worldwide — 1.53 degrees above normal. It was the first time since record-keeping began in 1880 that the globe's average temperature has been so far above the norm for any month of the year. U.S. weather stations broke or tied 263 all-time high temperature records A tornado struck New York City in August, inspiring the tabloid headline: "This ain't Kansas!" South Africa got its first significant snowfall in 25 years. And on Reunion Island, 400 miles east of Africa, nearly 155 inches of rain fell in three days — a world record for the most rain in 72 hours. the Arctic, which serves as the world's refrigerator, dramatically warmed in 2007, shattering records for the amount of melting ice. More than 60 percent of the United States was either abnormally dry or suffering from drought at one point in August. In November, Atlanta's main water source, Lake Lanier, shrank to an all-time low. Lake Okeechobee, crucial to south Florida, hit its lowest level in recorded history in May, exposing muck and debris not seen for decades. Lake Superior, the biggest and deepest of the Great Lakes, dropped to its lowest August and September levels in history

US navy sonar takes precedence over whales: Bush
Ladywriter replied to Ladywriter's topic in News Column
hes just doin it cuz Cali has taken a stand and is suing the fed over their emissions laws. Bush admin dun wanna do anything and dun want the state doing anything that could set a precedent for other states to follow. I applaud Cali, they know how horrible the shit sandwich is they're eating and want change.
