______Someone that will help me! I am dying and I need serious treatment! Please notice I am the only planet you have to sustain you. I want to meet someone who can give love back. I am also friendly to everyone regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or even if you work at a pizza pub...I will forgive you.

_________1. Global warming is the gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. SURE. It may NOT happen in your lifetime! ...But what about our children? Save the world for our future generations, and you save yourselves.~R.H.____________________________________________

________________________________TOP TEN EFFECTS BY GLOBAL WARMING!
____________________________________________________________
_______Aggravated AllergiesHave those sneeze attacks and itchy eyes that plague you every spring been worsening in recent years? If so, global warming may be partly to blame. Over the past few decades, more and more Americans have started suffering from seasonal allergies and asthma. Though lifestyle changes and pollution ultimately leave people more vulnerable to the airborne allergens they breathe in, research has shown that the higher carbon dioxide levels and warmer temperatures associated with global warming are also playing a role by prodding plants to bloom earlier and produce more pollen. With more allergens produced earlier, allergy season can last longer. Get those tissues ready.
____________________________________________________________
______Heading for the HillsStarting in the early 1900s, we've all had to look to slightly higher ground to spot our favorite chipmunks, mice and squirrels. Researchers found that many of these animals have moved to greater elevations, possibly due to changes in their habitat caused by global warming. Similar changes to habitats are also threatening Arctic species like polar bears, as the sea ice they dwell on gradually melts away.
____________________________________________________________
______Arctic in BloomWhile melting in the Arctic might cause problems for plants and animals at lower latitudes, it's creating a downright sunny situation for Arctic biota. Arctic plants usually remain trapped in ice for most of the year. Nowadays, when the ice melts earlier in the spring, the plants seem to be eager to start growing. Research has found higher levels of the form of the photosynthesis product chlorophyll in modern soils than in ancient soils, showing a biological boom in the Arctic in recent decades.
____________________________________________________________
______Pulling the PlugA whopping 125 lakes in the Arctic have disappeared in the past few decades, backing up the idea that global warming is working fiendishly fast nearest Earth's poles. Research into the whereabouts of the missing water points to the probability that permafrost underneath the lakes thawed out. When this normally permanently frozen ground thaws, the water in the lakes can seep through the soil, draining the lake, one researcher likened it to pulling the plug out of the bathtub. When the lakes disappear, the ecosystems they support also lose their home.
____________________________________________________________
_______The Big ThawNot only is the planet's rising temperature melting massive glaciers, but it also seems to be thawing out the layer of permanently frozen soil below the ground's surface. This thawing causes the ground to shrink and occurs unevenly, so it could lead to sink holes and damage to structures such as railroad tracks, highways and houses. The destabilizing effects of melting permafrost at high altitudes, for example on mountains, could even cause rockslides and mudslides. Recent discoveries reveal the possibility of long-dormant diseases like smallpox could re-emerge as the ancient dead, their corpses thawing along with the tundra, get discovered by modern man.
____________________________________________________________
______Survival of the FittestAs global warming brings an earlier start to spring, the early bird might not just get the worm. It might also get its genes passed on to the next generation. Because plants bloom earlier in the year, animals that wait until their usual time to migrate might miss out on all the food. Those who can reset their internal clocks and set out earlier stand a better chance at having offspring that survive and thus pass on their genetic information, thereby ultimately changing the genetic profile of their entire population.
____________________________________________________________
______Speedier SatellitesA primary cause of a warmer planet'scarbon dioxide emissions is having effects that reach into space with a bizarre twist. Air in the atmosphere's outermost layer is very thin, but air molecules still create drag that slows down satellites, requiring engineers to periodically boost them back into their proper orbits. But the amount of carbon dioxide up there is increasing. And while carbon dioxide molecules in the lower atmosphere release energy as heat when they collide, thereby warming the air, the sparser molecules in the upper atmosphere collide less frequently and tend to radiate their energy away, cooling the air around them. With more carbon dioxide up there, more cooling occurs, causing the air to settle. So the atmosphere is less dense and creates less drag.
____________________________________________________________
______Rebounding MountainsThough the average hiker wouldn't notice, the Alps and other mountain ranges have experienced a gradual growth spurt over the past century or so thanks to the melting of the glaciers atop them. For thousands of years, the weight of these glaciers has pushed against the Earth's surface, causing it to depress. As the glaciers melt, this weight is lifting, and the surface slowly is springing back. Because global warming speeds up the melting of these glaciers, the mountains are rebounding faster.
____________________________________________________________
_____2. Ruined RuinsAll over the globe, temples, ancient settlements and other artifacts stand as monuments to civilizations past that until now have withstood the tests of time. But the immediate effects of global warming may finally do them in. Rising seas and more extreme weather have the potential to damage irreplaceable sites. Floods attributed to global warming have already damaged a 600-year-old site, Sukhothai, which was once the capital of a Thai kingdom.
____________________________________________________________
______Forest Fire FrenzyWhile it's melting glaciers and creating more intense hurricanes, global warming also seems to be heating up forest fires in the United States. In western states over the past few decades, more wildfires have blazed across the countryside, burning more area for longer periods of time. Scientists have correlated the rampant blazes with warmer temperatures and earlier snowmelt. When spring arrives early and triggers an earlier snow-melt, forest areas become drier and stay so for longer, increasing the chance that they might ignite._____________________________________________________

Anything played at LIVE AIDE, That Paul McCartney guy seems pretty nice! So is Annie Lennox, Dave Matthews Band, AFI, Dhani Harrison, Melissa Etheridge...hmm...LIVE EARTH or any of those cool bands that rock to global cleansing and vegetarianism...i mean HELLO!..I didnt make all thise lushious food for nothing!

________________________Saturday July 7, 2007. Over 150 artists, bands and musicians performed to millions of people during seven different concerts held on seven different continents. The Live Earth Concerts raised our global conscience about our energy use and it’s impact on our environment, and how to maximize our natural resources and “go green.â€There were some great performances by some of my favorites like:
Cat Stevens
Corinne Bailey Rae
Genesis
James Blunt
John Butler Trio
Missy Higgins
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Spinal TapMSN is streaming video of all the shows:

The Grizzly Bears of Yellowstone: Their Ecology in the Yellowstone Ecosystem, 1959-1992
________________________
________________________
Book Description
In 1959, John and Frank Craighead, along with a dedicated team of students and professional colleagues, began their pioneering and controversial study of the grizzly bear in the Yellowstone ecosystem. The Grizzly Bears of Yellowstone is the culmination of that research. It captures both the history and the science of how the Yellowstone study evolved into a lifelong battle to protect and perpetuate the grizzly bear.
