[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | Drumbeat: April 17, 2009: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The recent decades-long drought that killed 100,000 people in Africa's Sahel may be a small foretaste of monstrous "megadroughts" that could grip the region as global climate change worsens, scientists reported on Thursday.

[Politics] Why Gregg Bailed | Washington Examiner: After 16 years as a Republican senator from New Hampshire, Judd Gregg has a lot of friends among GOP lawmakers, and in the past two weeks, many of them -- perhaps most of them -- have been wondering why he chose to accept Barack Obama's offer to become Commerce Secretary. Their objections intensified in the last week, as Republicans grew more worried about the Obama administration's plan to move control of the politically-sensitive 2010 Census from the Commerce Department to the White House.

[EnergyBulletin.net Peak Oil] Climate - Oct 25 | Energy Bulletin: Near the end of his keynote, Running outlined what he called his “Five Stages of Climate Grief.” Running’s adaptation of Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ groundbreaking “Five Stages of Grief” starts with stage one: denial that global warming exists. Denial naturally precedes anger: “I do NOT want to change my lifestyle.” Then stage three bargaining sets in: “Warming won’t be that bad.” Things get bad at stage four, depression: “It’s too late, we’re doomed.” But finally, if all goes well, you might get to the fifth and final stage, acceptance: “Okay, it’s real, now let’s get to work.”

[Links - International journal of socialist renewal] John Bellamy Foster: A failed system -- The world crisis of ...: Magdoff and Sweezy labeled this long-term contradiction (in the title of one of their books) Stagnation and the Financial Explosion, arguing that there was a kind of “symbiotic embrace” between the two.26Eventually, this long-run process of financial explosion was to becharacterised as the “financialisation” of the capitalist economy, andmonopoly capital was seen as having transformed into “monopoly-financecapital”. The economy became increasingly dependent on the inflation ofone financial bubble after another.

[The Energy Blog] The Energy Blog: RE: The False Hope of Biofuels: As the study proposes to supply that amount by converting more photosynthetic bio-energy to fuel that is burned, that will exacerbate climate change. All the land that can be converted to carbon sink, either through more reserve land or returning as much biomass as possible to the soil through organic farming, us needed to reverse CO 2 climate problems.

[Comments for RealClimate] RealClimate: However, I might suggest that the implications of the study for global climate projections have been overstated. The positive feedback of increased soil temperature leading to increased decomposition and therefore natural carbon emissions is a fairly modest contributor to the total projected business as usual carbon emissions over the century: average IPCC AR4 model land carbon storage changes due to climate change yielded a 63 ppm CO2 increase over the counterfactual by the year 2100.

[Watts Up With That?] NatGeo: Sun Oddly Quiet - Hints at Next “Little Ice Age”? « Watts ...: Between Earth eccentricity and solar output varying from minimal to maximal over a 100,000 year period, this perfectly explains the long term Ice Age cycle, with minor variations depending on the other cycles as well as short term variance in the solar cycles, the cause of which we dont have a good handle on and bears further research, but the bare fact that Jupiter and Saturn have such a huge influence over long term periods should mandate that we research into what other cosmic influences may be causing the short term variations in the Sun’s output. Perhaps it is due to the inner planets collective tidal influence varying in distribution, perhaps due to the tidal influence of Uranus and/or Neptune.
