Here is some insane raw footage of water moving through Miyagi Prefecture-There is another clip with a raging fire moving with the rush of water which may be part of the fire from a turbine a Nuclear Power facility.

My housemate was just talking to this Catholic chick tonight who's an administrator for a non-profit that sends missionaries overseas. He made a comment that he'd love to take a cruise to Alaska and see the glaciers before they're gone. She says we can all rest easy...global warming isn't a threat because the ozone layer is repairing itself.
1. The ozone layer problem is over Antarctica, not Alaska.
2. Ozone depletion has to do with UV light and is not significant in relation to global warming.
Fuck I wish I had been there to tell her she's an idiot. This is the problem that allows banks and corporations to do whatever they want. Mass ignorance, no ability to think critically, and willful disregard of facts. Unbelievably frustrating.


Well ozone depleting chemicals are also greenhouse gasses, so they aren't completely unrelated. And the north pole also sees ozone depletion and smaller holes from time to time. Global climatology isn't easy, especially for the layman. With many different political groups struggling for power, you do have to be suspect of a lot of the information out there. I prefer to remain cautiously agnostic on the matter. However I think we can all agree that dumping hundreds of millions of tons of dinosaur wine (even though Mesozoic was such a good year) into the ocean isn't a good idea!

I have no idea how SiftBot designed the hotness algorithm. As far as I can tell it's based solely on which direction the wind is blowing in Antarctica.

Summer Camp in Antarctica needs some better ads!

So in your world non-human animals are only eligible for life and dignity if they're endangered? Do you consider killing animals an act of harvesting a resource, and if the resource isn't running out it's all good?
>> ^TheFreak:
The Japanese are catching Minke whales in Antarctica. This whale is nowhere near endangered by anyone's estimation.



No, if they are delicious and not endangered it's all good.

The corollary is that if they are cute then they should also be spared. The only moral dilemma is when an animal is both delicious and cute, then you have to weigh the two against each other. For example, baby chicks can be cute, but, they grow up.

And endangering human life like the Sea Shepherd crew does is an automatic nomination for a ticket out of the gene pool IMHO.
