    Re: Things to make you think...

    While rummaging through some of my belongings to find things for projects and what will be subsequently sold I found a Tsunamika doll I was given with an eBay purchase years ago. For those of you who don't know, these are dolls made by the victims of the tsunami back in 2004 (they seem to be continuing it: http://tsunamika.org/). I feel like my life is crap right now, but a card included with it gave me pause. The website has the poem in its entirety:

    my etsy store
    My blog


    "...leave me curled up in my ball,
    surrounded by plush, downy things,
    ill prepared, but willing,
    to descend."

      In the above video, Oceanographer for the U.S. Navy, RADM David Titley, discusses climate change and its impending ramifications on national security. Listen as he details some of the top facts and figures you should know about climate change and your future, explained in terms that even the most unfamiliar with science would be able to understand.

      In 2009, RADM Titley assumed duties as oceanographer and navigator of the Navy and director, Task Force Climate Change. He has a Ph.D. in Meteorology and is a fellow of the American Meteorological Society. You’ll get to learn about some of his personal journey in science during his talk.

      I find it interesting that an overwhelming chunk of the *public* might think climate change is BS...but the military doesn't

              It's funny but makes a good point. What do you think?
