Winter?

(Gabriel enters the room, wearing a coat, hat, gloves, a sweater)

Gab. Hello!
Jake. Hi, Gabriel, how are you doing?
Gab. Pretty well, man, but this weather is horrible. We must be in the forties. (In celsius it means about 5 centigrades, but "feels worst" because of the wind).
Jake. Yeap. Winter has come. Is unanimous.
Gab. Well, actually not. See, there is a tree...

Global Warming

(if you still have doubts)

One of the most shocking moments in my life in the United States, was the day I listened people arguing about the global warming. This is the only place in the world were people disputes this fact. So, as a scientist, I made my homework, to read what the experts say about this issue. My findings.

Steve Chu, nobel prize of physics, is now and advocate of the problem of energy. He tries hard to convince the americans that there is global warming and that they have to reduce the waste of energy. In this slide he shows data of how global warming is real:

Some people may still find hard to believe. For them, there is and article from the National Academy of Sciences of the US. They also have frightening graphs, showing global warming. The full article is here: http://www.pnas.org.gtel.gatech.edu:2048/cgi/content/full/103/39/14288

I hope that it is not to late to do something about this. You can help to reduce global warming. Reduce energy consumption. Recycle. Plant a tree. Convince someone of the need of action. Please.

Merry Christmas - Global Warming (updated)

Un oficial del ejercito alemán y un soldado francés discuten acerca del nombre de un Gato. El primero insiste en llamarlo Felix, mientras que el otro le responde, vigorosamente, On n'appelle pas Felix, il est appelé nestor! (que no se llama Feliz, se llama Nestor¡). Una de las mejores películas que hemos visto en mucho tiempo.



"It is sad to se how this people go from Denial to Disdain".
(Al Gore on Global Warming)
Lo más triste es como esta gente pasa de la negación al sentimiento de impotencia.
(Al Gore, halando sobre el Calentamiento Global)

What are you doing today about Global Warming?
Que está usted haciendo HOY sobre el Calentamiento Global?
