Parma Strikes Luzon, More Rain for Manila
02-Oct-2009
Update: More Flooding Possible -
Last week, Typhoon Ketsana deluged Manila and the central
Philippines, leaving at least 240 dead and 400,000 homeless,
and challenging both governmental and private relief services
beyond the breaking point. And now it could get worse as
Typhoon Parma slams ashore north of Manila, sparing the city
its 90MPH winds, but threatening another deluge.

Sprawl Causes Storms

A city my be a world unto itself, but what happens if it is located

Why Did They Walk Away?

Why Hurricanes Don't Hit CA
28-Sep-2009
It's well known that when hurricanes hit land, there's a risk
that tornadoes may form in the area. Tornadoes that occur
from hurricanes moving inland from the Gulf Coast are
increasing in frequency, reflecting an increase in size and
frequency among large hurricanes that make landfall from the
Gulf of Mexico. We hear news about
hurricanes hitting states like Florida and Louisiana,
but for some reason, they never seem to land in California.
The only hurricane every to have hit California landed in
1858, and now scientists know why they're so rare.

It is continued in the

is changing as it leaves the barriers of time and space behind.
He talks about the true complexity of the Grays and the
promise of our relationship with them, and what is actually on
offer. It is one of the most amazing statements made by him
or anybody else. To be witness to the way this man's life is
unfolding, and to know that this means that our lives have

How to Fix the Mortgage Problem

In Whitley's dynamic new Journal, he returns to the subject
of the

mortgage crisis. He writes, "Unfortunately, the financial crisis
may not be over, and it is to be hoped that, this time, it can
be handled correctly. The bailouts did not fail, but the cost
was enormous and unnecessary. It was probably the least
efficient possible means of correcting the situation." What

Desperate Times Call For

desperate measures? -
One way of defeating climate change may be through geo-

space to reflect sunlight away from our plant to building
gigantic "scrubbers" that would clean CO2 out of the air. Are
these ideas gimmicks or real possibilities? If they won't work

It's Not the Sunspots
21-Sep-2009
It's the solar WIND -
You've heard the complaint that "it's not the heat, it's the
humidity." Well, the same thing can be said about the sun:
New research finds that the number of sunspots provides an
incomplete measure of the sun's impact on global warming
over its 11-year solar cycle. Earth was bombarded last year
with high levels of solar energy at a time when the Sun was
in an unusually quiet phase and sunspots had
virtually
disappeared. But there was LOTS of solar wind.

No Gas Stations in Space
17-Sep-2009
Sending craft out from the earth to explore space is an
expensive proposition, and one of the most expensive parts
of it is the rocket fuel needed to escape gravity. If we could

would be especially cost effective if we could manufacture
the FUEL needed on that planet as well (and we're not talking

Good News: We're Using Less Energy

While everyone is worrying about energy costs and the
greenhouse gases produced by power plants, it turns out
that the average American is using LESS than energy than
before. The reason? The country's population shift to the
more moderate and warm climates of the American West and
Southwest. Turning on the air conditioner for part of the year
uses less energy than heating the house over a long winter
(improved insulation in new construction probably has
something to do with this too). Is this what some of those
