I am surprized that the sustainable living movement has not taken more vigorous social action on this.

The overlooked scientist whose expertise helped Lawrence of Arabia's desert campaign during World War I is going to be remembered in a bid to rewrite the Lawrence movie legend. The chemist Herbert Garland used his scientific knowledge to teach Thomas Lawrence how to blow up railway lines. The Royal Society of Chemistry wants the behind-the-line heroism of the scientist to be remembered. The Lawrence of Arabia movie is marking its 50th anniversary next week. The military and political achievements of Thomas Lawrence - remembered as TE Lawrence or Lawrence of Arabia - were depicted in David Lean's iconic movie, first screened on 10 December 1962. Moving trainsBut the Royal Society of Chemistry says there was a key element missing from the plot - the role of scientist Herbert Garland, who helped to develop techniques for blowing up rail lines to disrupt enemy troop movements and supplies. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Recently, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reported that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hit a new record high in 2011. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Data show that global CO2 emissions in 2012 hit 35.6bn tonnes, a 2.6% increase from 2011 and 58% above 1990 levels. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > In its annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, the organisation said that carbon dioxide levels reached 391 parts per million in 2011. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The report estimated that carbon dioxide (CO2) accounted for 85% of the "radiative forcing" that led to global temperature rises. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Other potent greenhouse gases such as methane also recorded new highs, according to the WMO report. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Non-meditators are the real carbon polluters behind the destruction of the global climate. Well you know a positive scientific case could be made that spiritual people who are regular meditators and especially meditating on the Invincible American course are much less responsible for global climate change than the average non-meditating American or any other first world or developing nation peoples. Simply on a materialistic level of gross consumption, that anyone who is on the full schedule of meditation in the Domes contributing to world peace otherwise in fact creates much less carbon damage to the atmosphere and global climate than the average CO2 emitting consuming American. At a minimum, people on the Invincible America course simply do not have the time to consume materially like non-meditaters do. > > > > > > > > > > -Buck > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Once again it is evident that the problem with society is, 'non-meditation'.
