From Aliens to Australians 5

  1. Roswell that ends well

    Says Yahoo! News: "A former Canadian defense minister is demanding governments worldwide disclose and use secret alien technologies obtained in alleged UFO crashes to stem climate change." And nothing we could say would make that funnier.

  2. They dream of greenie

    Generation Insomnia is growing up in Britain as half of kiddies between the ages of seven and 11 can't sleep for worrying about climate change. But never fear -- 25 percent dream that George W. Bush will save the day. Talk about a rude awakening.

  3. What are you, a race-ist?

    How to bring down the environmental movement in three easy steps: Greenify a racecar, bringing on accusations of fuel-using hypocrisy. Replace sponsor logos with an image of the earth, showing that eco-action destroys the economy. Drive so fast that no one can see your message anyway. We're onto you, Formula One.

  4. Opus yay

    The fish isn't quite as adorable as Audrey Tautou, but the BioDaVersity Code gets our wo0t for cleverness, cuteness, and not being nearly as long as the actual movie. Plus, it's unlikely to stir up a ginormous controversy -- over da hair.

  5. If I had a Glamour

    Green goes Glamourous today as the mag devotes 10 whole (old-growth forest?) pages to the earth. Grist gets a mention as an eco-tipster, but this time, no sweater belts were harmed in the process. Still, we prefer Australians -- in general, but particularly when they call us "the Holy Grail of green celeb-cred." Stop, we're blushing.

    UFO crashes to help with global warming answersI find it macabre that a field which was seen as anti-american by caring about the environment, now becomes the one who is dismissing a field which has much research, and personal testimony to the reality of UFOs, and to the disinformation given by governments in hiding the researh, or recovery they have done on crashed spaceships.
    I am a UFO researcher, and this field has many top-notched and brillant people in it studying the reports, the impressions left by craft, trying to find the truth about UFO crashes, and they should be supported, rather than ridiculed, especially by an organization who was ridiculed when the movement first started by caring for the environment over capitalist rape and murder of the enviroment, and the natural living things that make it their home.
    UFOs are real, crashes are real and the question is why did these creashed happen, for what purpose, accident of planned opportunity, for Earth governments and peoples to take in the Trojan horse, or to be lucky and be able to create new technology from that which is found in these crashes.
    We cannot forget that when green was seen as laughable; those in the movement saw it as necessity to save the human race.
    UFOs and the study/researh of them is for the same reason.

    UFO's and the Former Denfense MinisterI would just like to point out that the former Defense minister in question was Defense Minister over 40 years ago.

    Are you kidding?UFOs are as real as global warming all right! I think it's interesting that the same people that believe the global warming hysteria, believe in UFOs.
