Anyone with a tinfoil hat can probably see it.

Ya know, Spike, I'm no animal rights wacko; but I think it is very cruel of you to put that foil on your cat's head. However, being a Constitutionalist, and respecting the rights of others, I will not deign to tell you what you can do with your animals.

By the way, you look just like your avatar, sans band aids and flies of course.
 
Hey Jim that's a random tinfoil hat picture from google images representing anyone who would think there's a Lenin connection to the date.

I don't wear the tinfoil hat personally as I'm not silly enough to think that and realize it's the equinox.

Oh. My mistake. I thought it was a self portrait.

Then you are even stupider than your avatar makes you look. There is no equinox in April.

Vernal equinox March 20, 2009 @ 11:44

Summer solstice June 21, 2009 @ 05:45

Autumnal equinox September 22, 2009 @ 21:18

Winter solstice December 21, 2009 @ 17:47

Ya see any April dates in there? Here's as close as it gets:

Earth Day was initially celebrated on March 21, 1970, the equinox day. It is currently celebrated in various countries on April 22.

Did you know that most history sites get that one wrong -- incorrectly stating that the first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970?

So why was the date moved to Lenin's birthday from the vernal equinox? If the original day was supposed to have significance, wouldn't it be reasonable to believe that the new day would also hold equal significance? Pravda, the "voice" of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, began publication in Saint Petersburg April 22, 1912 in commemoration of Lenin's birthday. At least they admit that.

Also, the equinox dates vary. Sometimes the vernal equinox is on March 20 and sometimes it is on March 21. Sometimes the Autumnal equinox is on September 22 and sometimes on September 23.

Earth day is ALWAYS on April 22 just like Lenin's birthday is ALWAYS on April 22.

The ecology movement is the new communism. It is anti-capitalism, anti-American, anti-progress, and pro-centralized government -- sorta like Lenin's Russia.
 
The government has given the go-ahead for a new generation of coal-fired power plants - but only if they can prove they can reduce their emissions.

Up to four new plants will be built if they are fitted with technology to trap and store CO2 emissions underground.

The technology is not yet proven and would only initially apply to 25% of power stations' output.

Green groups welcomed the move but said any new stations would still release more carbon than they stored.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband's announcement followed confirmation in the Budget that there would be a new funding mechanism for at least two - and up to four - "demonstration" carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects.

Pollution 'fights global warming'
By Matt McGrath
BBC News science reporter

Generating station in Sun Valley, California
Increased pollution has enhanced plant productivity, the report says

Air pollution may be helping the fight against global warming by enhancing the ability of plants to absorb carbon dioxide, scientists say.

Since the 1960s, increased levels of atmospheric pollution have enhanced plant productivity by as much as one quarter, research has found.

In terms of carbon dioxide, this means that an extra 10% has been stored in the soil.

The research was published in the scientific journal, Nature.

It is a common assumption that plants grow best in clear sunny weather, but scientists say this is not always the case.

Research has shown that forests and crops can also thrive in hazy conditions because clouds and particles in the atmosphere scatter sun light so that it bathes more leaves.

That enhances photosynthesis, the process by which plants turn light and carbon dioxide into food.

Global dimming

Researchers have now analysed the impact on plants of the dimmer, hazier skies that have resulted from increases in air pollution around the world since the 1960s.

They have calculated that this so-called "global dimming" is responsible for increasing plant productivity by as much as one quarter from 1960 to 1999.

Dr Lina Mercado from the UK's Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the lead author of the study, said:

"This resulted in a net 10% increase in the amount of carbon stored by the land once other effects were taken into account," she was quoted as saying by the Press Association.

This study highlights some of the complications that arise when we try to tackle global warming.

As the world attempts to reduce the amount of smog and particulates in the atmosphere to improve human health, it will require even greater efforts to cut back on carbon dioxide.

This new research shows that plants will simply not absorb as much carbon dioxide in cleaner air conditions.

The research will also add weight to arguments about geo-engineering, the idea of curbing global warming by adding reflective materials to the atmosphere.

US President Barack Obama's chief scientific adviser, Professor John Holdren, recently told reporters that such ideas, once dismissed as half-baked, would have to be seriously discussed, such was the scale of the climate challenge

Y'know ... my dad always told me "to be a good liar, you have to have a good memory".


Their daddies should have told them.

OMG!!! KILL A COMMIE FOR MOMMY!!! IT'S ALL A SATANIC CONSPIRACY, JUST DRINK THE COOL AID, DON'T THINK, JUST DRINK!!! VOTE FOR SARA PALIN BECAUSE FREEDOM SHOULD NOT BE FREE, THO WORLD SHOULD PAY A HEAVY PRICE!!! FREEDOM ONLY SHOULD EVER BELONG TO CUTTHROAT GREEDY CHRISTIAN CAPITALIST, JESUS-A FEARIN' CONSERVATIVES DRIVING MAMMOTH SUVs AND SUPPORTING AMERICAN SUPREMACY THROUGH WAR EFFORTS TO PROVE OUR MORAL AND MILITARY SUPERIORITY!!!

Man it must really suck being a paranoid conservative always worrying about imaginary evil liberal conspiracies. Well Jim it's a tough job, but I suppose someone has to do it!

I suppose though by your logic and beliefs, if and when you die and find out there was any truth to the potential environmental damage humans may perhaps be causing, that you'll surely burn in hell for your advocacy of total, and willful environmental irresponsibility. Damn what a tough break....perhaps!?!

Holidays

Note: Some Holidays are only applicable on a given "day of the week"

Brazil : Discovery Day (1500)
Nebraska : Arbor Day, where they created it (1872)
Oklahoma : Oklahoma Day (1889)
Spain, US : Queen Isabella Day
USSR : Lenin's Birthday (1870)

http://www.scopesys.com/cgi-bin/today2.cgi
Enter April 22nd...and you'll find the REAL reason why Earth Day is commemorated on April 22nd.

Arbor Day: Arbor Day is a holiday in which individuals and groups are encouraged to plant trees. Arbor Day originated in Nebraska City, Nebraska, United States and is celebrated in a number of countries.
 
*Oh...and before you say that Lenin's Birthday was two years BEFORE the first Arbor Day... keep in mind that he was 2 when Arbor day started.

Lenin's birth day was two years before Arbor Day and his birthday has occurred every year since.

Get the difference?
