Water Crisis - China this time

Besides the oil crisis, water is the other major crisis - that people are aware of (more on that in other posts - search on keyword 'crisis')

This is really only the beginning. Search back through this blog for the water crisis currently affecting the US, and other water problems around the world. If you think the past in an indication of the future, you're in for a rude awakening. Also take a look at the fish problems in the ocean. (keywords 'fish, ocean')

Countries are already having wars over water, and Israel is more likely to attack Syria over water than over weapons.

This is - unfortunately - the best of times.Original Link

Many who pledge abstinence at risk for STDs

What a surprise! Yet ANOTHER study that says that abstinence-only sex education does more harm that good. What a shocker!

However, one thing is certain; you can use facts to convince faith-based people. They know what they believe, and facts just confuse things.

No Stopping Global Warming, Studies Predict

And who is doing ANYTHING about planning for the near-term future? Global warming isn't coming; it's here, and it's just going to get worse.

Gene study of mutant AIDS virus shows drug-resistant, vicious foe

First, they found a man who had an apparently new strain of HIV that killed him off dramatically quicker than the old HIV (link), but then they sort of pooh-poohed it (link).

Now, they are no longer pooh-poohing it (click the link in the title). Nature is pissed.

Nanobacteria - you ain't seen nothing yet.

Nanobacteria are implicated in kidney stones and heart disease and who knows what else. They are recently discovered 'things' that replicate. And we're going to bring back samples from outer space that could contain nanobacteria that are completely foreign to human organisms? Now THAT'S stupid.Nanobacteria -- The New Thing In Heart Disease

Think the bird flu is dangerous? They don't even know what to make of this.

A man-made flu, based on the 1918 pandemic flu, may have escaped from the lab and ended up in Korean pigs (think: North Korea biowar experiments). If this has happened, the medical community doesn't have a clue has to how bad this might be, but they know it is VERY bad news.Wired News: Pigs Hold Clues to Man-Made Flu

A Billion Bird Flu Human Fatalities?

Look at the author's credentials under 'PATENTS'. This isn't some weirdo website.

Bird flu cluster may signal the change we've been waiting for.

I've been saying, though I was far from the first, and certainly not basing it on any medical expertise on my part, but just on reading the news, that the bird flu is coming - and sooner than most people think; you know, people like Bush.

Experts weigh super-volcano risks

I've been telling people about this for years; perhaps this will get their attention. Yellowstone has a history of an eruption about every 600,000 years; it's been 640,000 years since the last one. The article doesn't mention the uplift of Yellowstone that's currently going on, nor about the 1,000 foot tall 'bulge' in the bottom of Yellowstone lake, both very worrisome signs.

As the article says, it's not a matter of 'if', just 'when'.

Police puzzled, others see mysterious Bali temple signs as divine warning by Sebastien Blanc: another form of crop circles??

If you read this carefully, you will find that there was a power cut to the affected villages, and the dogs all started howling, the night that the signs appeared. You will also note that hundreds of temples are affected, and yet no one has ever been seen leaving the signs.

I'm going to do some research on this, looking for similar markings around the world, combined with similar power/dog events.

Think we're ready for a bio-disaster? Think we'd help each other out? Think again.

'Bird flu threat' from feathers: oh, just ducky!
