Could the solution to global warming be as simple as photosynthesis?
Shortened, carefully planned cattle grazing times can allow the roots of grasses to reach deep into soils, thereby taking carbon from the air and putting it into the soil. With the right microbes and fungi, that carbon can remain in the soil for thousands of years and would be safe, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture scientist Kristine Nichols. Ref. Source 4
Gwynne Dyer on Climate Wars: The Fight for Survival as the World Overheats
As a heat wave from Boston to Baghdad to Beijing sets record-breaking temperatures in cities across the world, a new analysis says the world is headed for an average temperature rise that far exceeds pledges at the Copenhagen climate conference last year. We speak with geopolitical analyst and columnist Gwynne Dyer about his new book, "Climate Wars: The Fight for Survival as the World Overheats." Ref. Source 6
Just another shaman riding on the fringe of the Global Warming movement. Why not write a book about a crisis which may or may not exist and make some money right now? Get in on the frenzy before it's over. There are a lot of "what if's" in this fellow's writing.
And, as the Global Warming/Climate Change gurus are always saying when the temperatures are breaking records on the COLD side - "There's a big difference between weather patterns and real climate changes." Why are they not saying anything now that the "weather" is breaking HEAT records?

We're Hot as Hell and We're Not Going to Take It Any More - Three Steps to Establish a Politics of Global Warming
By Bill McKibben
Fossil fuel is wrecking the one earth we've got. It's not going to go away because we ask politely. If we want a world that works, we're going to have to raise our voices. Ref. Source 1
All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster.
-- Barack Obama, speech, Apr. 3, 2006
Errant climate may be sign of breakdown, scientists say:
Floods, fires, melting ice, and feverish heat - from smoke-choked Moscow to water-soaked Iowa and the High Arctic, the planet seems to be having a midsummer breakdown. It is not just a portent of things to come, scientists say, but a sign of troubling climate change already under way. Ref. Source 8
