Recieved this (in a nutshell,) response following a topic on global "what's next".

The "background" stable CO2 concentration is below 250ppm (pre-industrial age).
The latest global average is at 390ppm, rising between 1 and 2 ppm per year.
Eight of the last ten years were the hottest on record, since global measurements have been accurate enough to measure.
Estimates of the tipping point value range from 400 to 450ppm, "the point at which the increase is self-sustaining" -- until the poles melt completely.
Man has never faced a polar meltdown in his existence as a mammal, and has only survived two ice ages, barely. Only those that could migrate to the tropics survived. We are too numerous today. There's nowhere to go.

I am from Maine orig and have family that has been there for yrs & yrs. They see firsthand at what's in the works.

Many say this is just a cycle. I'm a sandbox grad but do not want to wait till "The latest global average is at 390ppm" gets to the estimate tiping point!
Best; Tom

If you haven't heard this, the White House is accusing Fox News of not being a legitimate source of news, calling them biased, etc. They have tried to block Fox reporters from news conferences, etc., but the other news networks are fighting back (in favor of Fox) and caused the White House to back down. NPR has put a survey online for us to voice our opinion. If you want to vote in this survey, go to the link below and cast your vote. Currently it is 71% in favor of the White House, but there are not that many votes ......... less than 2,000 all together. Let's show them how we feel about honest conservative news reporting.

Update: Creigh Deeds says "some of the visceral opposition to the first black president is race-based."

Fairfax, VA - Democrat Creigh Deeds said in a debate he sees "a hint of racism" in some of the opposition to President Barack Obama (web | news | bio) .

In the second of four gubernatorial race debates against Republican rival Bob McDonnell, Deeds said Thursday that he would hope that the nation is beyond racism.

But when asked by moderator David Gregory of NBC's "Meet The Press," Deeds said he regretted that some of the visceral opposition to the first black president is race-based.

Virginia has turned into a Blue State. Let's turn it back to a Red State!
First battle ground, the election of 2010.
