  • I naturally select to stop reading her articles

    You're right, this lady has no idea about biology: evolution, mutations and adaptation.  It seems like she thinks that animals (mammals specifically) can CHOOSE to evolve, grow fins, become a sea or land creature, etc., in one lifetime.  She has confused the concepts of instinct and choice versus natural selection, as if 'fight vs. flight' were some sort of moral choice.On So says a dumb article posted 3 years ago 4 Responses

  • climate change is more than global warming

    I think this is a perfect example of why we need to frame this debate topic as 'climate change' not 'global warming' since there are different changes happening on the globe that affect regional climates, which can't necessarily be reflected in a global average temperature change.On 'Global warming stopped in 1998'--Only if you flagrantly cherry pick posted 3 years ago 170 Responses

  • not just flags & quilts

    you can also get your old shirts recycled into new clothes, see: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005/06/tshirt_underwea.php

    and i'm sure there are many other creative ways to re-use fabric, like cutting it up and donating it to community centres, or schools for kids crafts.
