18 million square kilometers more greenery due to “carbon pollution” that the Greens hate
What kind of pollution do you want to feed your plants? The carbon kind. Yet again, a satellite study of leaf area shows that the world is greener than it was in 1982. There are more plants mostly thanks to CO2 aerial fertilization. The biggest benefits from CO2 are in the warm tropics. The extra greenery in colder areas was due to that other disaster called “global warming”. About a tenth of the

Despite their small brains—ravens are just as clever as chimps
A study led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden shows that ravens are as clever as chimpanzees, despite having much smaller brains, indicating that rather than the size of the brain, the neuronal density and the structure of the birds' brains play an important role in terms of their intelligence.

Why Ted Cruz Is Even Scarier Than Donald Trump
By MARC McDONALDI've always thought Bill Maher is one of the most astute observers of U.S. politics and society. But recently, he said something that I have to strongly disagree with: that, as bad a GOP nominee as Ted Cruz would be, he'd actually be preferable to Donald Trump.

Paul Craig Roberts is just one year younger than me and we both took 4-year degrees from technical universities, mine from Carnegie Tech, his from Georgia Tech. We both took 6 years to get our PhDs, mine in Physics from Brown University, his in Economics from the University of Virginia ...after spending his last year in Oxford. After being a post doc I became a midlevel government employee at the Naval Research Laboratory and Washington, DC, whereas he began as a member of Congressional Staff (also DC) and rose to Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy under Ronald Reagan. At the time I scoffed at Reagan as being a movie actor rather than what it takes to be President of the USA. However, PCR has made the point that Reagan may be the only American President ever to stop a war, rather than start one. And PCR, being an academic had many university appointments and took part in many high-level think tanks, where he met face-to-face all of the neocons that are today pushing for an…

For the last couple of years I have been listening to investment advisor's advice (rarely followed) and what they make of the economy (a few think it OK, but most of those whom I perceive to be the best and brightests forsee a major market crash with grave consequences to both the rich and poor). A few strong indications of this can be found in my previous pair of blog re-posts. Here below I am re-posting an article by Bill Bonner, a very rich and very savvy Republican who nevertheless has genuine sympathy for the working poor. Here he tells us all the best way to save our nesteggs and our cash before our banks crash ...which they certainly will.
Original here: http://bonnerandpartners.com/our-favorite-way-to-own-gold/ BALTIMORE – We live in a world of sin and sorrow, infected by a fraudulent democracy, Facebook, and a corrupt money system.Wheezing, weak, and weary from the exertion of trying to appear “normal,” the economy staggers on. Last week, we gained some insight into the ailment. Something in the diagnosis has puzzled us for years
What a perfect story to have followed the one above! I have listened to many experts on investing who, once they get you hooked, announce that there is a price for their advice. However, in all of the many months that I have come across articles by Mike Larson, he has been giving away the knowledge I've wanted for free. For example, we are now made aware of the fact that car sales are tanking. What more do we need to realize that the U.S. economy is an the verge of a crash that might well exceed that of 1929. I believe that buying gold or silver now while its cheep is your best way to protect your wealth.
Right on Cue, Auto Sales Tank; Here’s What to Watch for Next … Mike Larson | Monday, April 4, 2016 at 4:20 pm The market’s focus on Friday was squarely on jobs. Investors apparently decided the employment situation was good enough that stocks should be bought, and the Dow edged ever closer to 18,000.But is there something ELSE investors like you should be paying attention to?

Here Paul Craig Roberts is again focusing on the fake U.S. job results. So as a preamble, I am including below "The ShadowStats Alternate Unemployment Rate for March 2016 is 22.9%" ...as permited by ShadowStats.com at http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/unemployment-charts. Note that all officially discouraged workers "were defined out of official existence in 1994". So adding those "out of official existance" to the "U-6 unemployment" rate now proves that about 23% of all Americans are out of work or working only part time. Nevertheless, the Fed and the Stock Markets(!) are running on the (incorrect) assumption that about 95% of all Americans are employed and thus boosting the economy by consuming. What do you think will happen when they find out the truth?
