The recession is literally contaminating the air we breath!

Sales of hybrid cars such as the Honda Civic, Ford Escape and Toyota Camry have all took bigger percentage dives in January compared to the dives in sales of their conventional versions.

The drop in hybrid car popularity is being linked to the recession. Hybrid cars cost more then their conventional counterparts so people are having to buy the cheaper and more polluting versions of these cars.

People just aren’t able to afford the hybrid cars they would prefer too drive. So in effect the recession is not only hurting families it’s also literally contaminating the air we breath!

President Bush's shameful environmental legacy

President Bush has not been a friend of nature. During his eight years in office President Bush has systematically attacked eco system across the United States. From drilling in the Artic refugee too off shore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. President Bush’s answer too all of America’s economic problems has been too advocate the destruction of our country’s natural world.

For example President Bush’s Clean Air Act has put more pollution into our air. While Bush’s Healthy Forest Initiative allows logging in National Parks.

President Bush’s actions against the Natural World are embarrassing too say the least and in my opinion border on Ecological Terrorism.

Albino Killer Whale

An albino Killer Whale has finally been photographed in the Alaska's Aleutian Islands. For a while now people have been coming forward with reports of this albino Killer Whale in the region however no one has ever photographed it. After examining the photo Scientists are having doubts that the Killer Whale is actually a true Albino because you can see some skin pigments. Which actually is good news for the Killer Whale because albino animals usually have many health problems.

Anyway thanks for reading

Asian Carp threaten Lake Michigan

Asian Carp are now within 45 miles of Lake Michigan. While areas of the Illinois River are infested with 80,000+ Asian Carp according too annual sampling.

Last year Congress passed 9 million in funding to complete a electric barrier to keep Asian Carp from entering Lake Michigan. However the electric barrier is still not operating and we are running out of time.

If Asian Carp enter Lake Michigan the entire Great Lakes 4.5 billion dollar commercial and sport fishing industries could be devastated. Because of the impact Asian Carp would have on the delicate Great Lakes Eco-System.

The Gray Wolf may go back on the endangered species list

Six months ago the Bush administration had taken gray wolfs off the endangered species list. Now the Bush administration is asking a federal judge too put the gray wolf back on the list.

Apparently the wolfs have not bred enough in the wild too maintain stable populations in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.

Gray wolfs play an important role as the dominate predator in healthy ecosystems. In areas were the gray wolf have been reintroduced entire ecosystems have benefited.

Some people say why worry about global warming

Personally I live in Michigan and some of my uninformed friends will say things like “Global Warming is good at least our winters won’t be as bad” and “why should I care if the polar ice cap melts, I’ve never seen the north pool and don’t ever plan on too.”

Many of my friends would be surprised to know that during the last ice age the world was only 6 degrees cooler on average then they are now. During the last ice age Michigan had a two mile deep glacier over it.

If 6 degrees cooler then average can cause a 2 mile think glacier too form over Michigan what would 6 degrees of warming do. Kind of scary when you think about it.

The polar ice cap is melting

Global Warming is causing the polar ice cap too melt. Within a few years we just might have our first summer with an ice free artic. Never before have humans lived on earth with open ocean at the north pole.

Because wind patterns are caused by the interaction between artic cold and tropical heat. The possibility of entire wind currents being disrupted because of the warming artic is a possibility that cannot be ruled out.

How an ice free artic will effect global weather patterns is being debated. What is for certain is that Famine, floods and intense storms will be a byproduct of Global Warming.
