Americans show support for clean energy in polls

earthfix:

New polls show that Americans overwhelmingly support political efforts to reduce the effects of greenhouse gases, with most agreeing that climate change is an important issue that needs immediate attention, according to Consumer Energy Report.

If its not dealt with now, in the near future (2050), the earth will become uninhabitable…

Legalize It! by Cypress Hill

{Marijuana plant is a hemp plant
It’s used for many other things than just smokin’
One acre of hemp produces four times as much paper than an acre of trees}

Legalize it
Legalize it

{Pot herb Marijuana}

Legalize it

{Every denomination every color every religion}

Legalize it

{George Washington grew hemp on his farm}

Legalize it

{That is just one twelfth
I have given you all the seed bearing plants on earth to use
(Gotta make legalize)}

America's Drought is the World's Problem - Isobel Coleman - The Atlantic

Global food prices are spiking upwards because of widespread drought in the U.S., the breadbasket of the world. Nearly 80 percent of the country’s corn crops and over 11 percent of its soybean crops-which are major exports for the U.S. and an important source of animal feed-have been affected. Last month, soybean and corn prices were at record-breaking highs. Poor weather conditions in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine are also inflating global wheat prices; these countries typically produce around one-quarter of the world’s wheat exports. The U.S. itself exports more wheat, corn, and soybeans than any other country.

While high food prices are devastating for importing countries that are already deeply food insecure, they can also be economically destabilizing for lower- and middle-income countries with big populations that import large amounts of food. Around the world, shortages and price spikes of everyday goods can throw societies into unrest and conflict. The current spike in food prices begs comparisons with other recent rises in food price that led to widespread protests. In 2008, high food prices incited protests and turmoil in a variety of countries, including Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Arguably, food prices were one precipitating factor of the Arab Spring; in a report about the phenomenon, The Economist notes that in Egypt, local food prices increased by 37 percent from 2008 to 2010.

I had a sense this was worldly when I read on reddit that there was a severe drought in Russia. We must stop global warming collectively as hunans otherwise the Earth will become inhabitable. No use of fossil fuels can stop the problem of climate change (no using natural gas to replace oil or coal).
