The use of bio-fuels is a knee jerk reaction to the planet warming. 90% of the warming is due to the sun's current volatility and cycle.

That's the cycle, ice ages and warm periods. We'll have to cope with it. Eliminating green house gases is a fine goal for our ozone layer and the air we breathe. I'm all for it. But let... [ More ]

By JONATHAN M. KATZ â€“ 5 days ago PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) â€” It was lunchtime in one of Haiti's worst slums, and Charlene Dumas was eating mud. With food prices rising, Haiti's poorest can't afford even a daily plate of rice, and some take desperate measures to fill their bellies. Charlene, 16 with a 1-month-old son, has come to rely on a traditional Haitian remedy for hunger pangs: cookies made of dried yellow dirt from the country's central plateau. The mud has long...
