The world has gone mad! There are tornadoes in California, earthquakes in the Caribbean, 2012 is just around the corner and Al Gore is still breathing…actually, we’re all still breathing — so let’s just take a deep breath and calm down.

Recently in an interview with GritTV, actor Danny Glover made a comment that I found to be completely absurd. In his statement, Glover says that the entire Caribbean region is in danger of earthquakes due to global warming and the failure of the Copenhagen conference.

Global Warming is big business. And no matter which side of the aisle you stand on you can point your finger at various companies and industries about their influence in shaping policies in regard to Global Warming. If you’re a believer then you’re going to point your finger at the oil and automobile industry and say they are trying to prevent the truth from getting out. If you’re a non-believer than your going to point your finger at the carbon credit and “green” industries and companies such as GE and say they are trying to use fear-mongering techniques to scare us all into buying their products.

While at the bookstore that bares my family name the other day I picked up an interesting book that has been published annually in September since 1792 – The Old Farmer’s Almanac (OFA).
