The UN black helicopter crowd has seized on globalwarming skepticism as a new way to spread awareness of their slightly weird views.
Tammy Bruce, a ‘chick with a gun and a microphone,’ claims that the UN will tax everyone to empower their agenda, using globalwarming awareness as an excuse.
It is hard to imagine why so many skeptics exist as to the science of globalwarming. Even if one is suspicious of the UN, many other agencies and academic institutions have researched the phenomena of globalwarming, and have increased awareness of its effects through publication of scientific findings.
Looks like some of these people are using the issue of the day — globalwarming awareness2007 — to tie into their pet paranoiac agendas. Globalwarming awareness is not going away, and it is critical for international bodies and governments of all types of take leadership in regards to preventing famine, climate change, polar ice cap loss, and more killer hurricanes and tsunamis like those that hit New Orleans and Sri Lanka in prior recent years.

We get QUESTIONS!
Dear Globalwarming Awareness2007: I read today that meetings make us dumber. To fight globalwarming, many people have meetings, suggest communal living, and carpool in flex-fuel vehicles. Could all of these actions make us dumber, and less scientifically able to fight globalwarming? –signed, clueless in the carpool lane
Dear Clueless in the Carpool Lane:
Meetings making us dumber may explain a lot. However, arguably, starving because globalwarming harms agriculture and the food chain probably isn’t a great way to add to our smarts.
Cows gathering together is almost undoubtedly a bad idea: mass cow farts!
Developing nations, which tend to have big populations, would be bad if they started emitting the average carbon output of an American — Americans are energy hogs.
We would recommend only carpooling with smart people.

Catholic Online today offers timely commentary on the past and future role of persons of faith in fighting globalwarming and raising awareness in 2007 and beyond. The article is in response to the recent UN report on globalwarming, as well as the words and actions of globalwarming dissenters.
The article cites numerous popes, from Pius XII to John Paul II, on the subject of global climate change, globalwarming, and the need for stewardship of the earth and its bounty.
Catholic Online states the following about the impact of globalwarming, and the need for 2007 awareness:
Together these gas emissions have raised air and ocean temperatures worldwide and amount to catastrophes in the making. They are already melting the arctic sea ice and adjoining ice sheets, leaving puzzled polar bears stranded on ice floes. Rises in sea levels may sweep away the homes of people living on seacoast plains, scientists warn, and heat waves are expected to disrupt agriculture.
The articleurges persons of faith to take heed of the danger and be aware of globalwarming in 2007. Recommendations include using less energy through various means, including air-drying dishes, driving smaller vehicles and hybrid autos, and even sharing rides via car pools.
Articles like this show that persons of faith are increasingly linking globalwarming awareness2007 to their religion and their holy doctrine. This is a great sign for the future of the globalwarming awareness movement.

Ceres, a group of shareholder activists with an interest in globalwarming and the environment today released a list of the most nefarious environmental villians among US companies.
These companies are responsible for soil and water pollution, as well as air pollution that may be leading to global climate change and globalwarming. The ten companies named in today’s report are specifically targeted for their activities impacting the climate and globalwarming in 2007.
Companies included in the list include big oil and energy companies, such as Exxon and ConocoPhillips, but the list also includes low-cost manufacturers of household goods like Bed, Bath & Beyond, who may be valuing low production costs over sustainable production that does not result in pollution in third-world and developing nations. Many developing nations are used as low-cost producers of consumer goods, in part because these countries have low industry standards and low wages. Banking giant Wells Fargo is also on the Ceres list,
Some investors are looking at the environmental practices of companies with an eye to not investing in them, or voting as shareholders for sustainable energy and production standards. Other investors, however, are focused solely on the bottom line of profitability, with no eye to long-term globalwarming impacts. Ceres believes that CEOs need to take a long view and plan their business relative to environmental issues and globalwarming awareness.
