A consultant psychiatrist last night called on Government to add lithium salts to the public water supply in a bid to lower the suicide rate and depression among the general population.
At a mental health forum on “Depression in Rural Ireland” in Ennistymon, Co Clare, Dr Moosajee Bhamjee said that “there is growing scientific evidence that adding trace amounts of the drug lithium to a water supply can lower rates of suicide and depression”.
Lithium is used by doctors as a mood stabiliser in the treatment for depression.
Dr Bhamjee said: “A recent article in the British Journal of Psychiatry found the beneficial uses of lithium when it was added to the water supply in parts of Texas.”
He said the Government should consider a pilot project for a town in Ireland where lithium salts could be added to the water in very small doses and examine the results.” He said there was already strong precedent for governments intervening in the operation of public water supply for health benefits by adding fluoride.
Dr Bhamjee said that a community would not get “hooked” on lithium “because the doses would be so small”.
He said: “There are 200,000 people suffering from depression in Ireland and the Government must think of new ways of tackling the problem.”

There's already fluoride, chlorine and other genetic and brain altering chemicals in the water, so why not add another toxic poison. This way, when WW3 breaks out and you're living in a police state and thrown FEMA Camp, you won't complain. You won't be sad when your child gets cancer at 15 and you won't lament when they take your job, your money, your house, your kids and your freedom. Its called the New World Order b!tches.A consultant psychiatrist last night called on Government to add lithium salts to the... more

Another frantic effort to redistribute wealth from developed nations to developing nations is under way, this time in Durban, South Africa. The excuse is the same old, tiresome claim that socialism writ large is necessary to save the planet from global warming.
Fewer people are fooled every year the United Nations brings together representatives of about 190 nations hoping to profit from the shakedown. Just as claims of climate doom are wearing thin, so are arguments for separating you from your money.
We like the way contrarian climate scientist S. Fred Singer describes the confab: "10,000 or so Durban attendees – official delegates, U.N. and government officials, journalists, NGO types and other hangers-on – will have a grand old time: two weeks of feasting, partying, living it up in luxury hotels, and greeting old friends at this 17th reunion – all at someone else's expense."
"At someone else's expense" could be the theme of the global warming movement.
Americans should be pleased that the conference no sooner began than the U.S. was blamed for not taxing and regulating greenhouse gases enough, and for not writing enough compensatory checks to countries less fortunate. In the view of those overseas who want your money, America still hasn't sacrificed enough, despite onerous regulations and punitive taxes imposed domestically, including the horrific California Global Warming Solutions Act.
The United States and other developed nations are realizing that reducing their own productivity – a byproduct of reducing greenhouse gas emissions – isn't smart in hard times. It's good to see common sense prevail.
On the eve of this conference to extend the Draconian Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gas-limiting treaty, someone leaked thousands of emails revealing the duplicity, flawed science and conspiratorial inclination of the clique of climate scientists, who have claimed global warming threatens the planet.
A similar leak occurred on the eve of the 2009 global warming conference in Copenhagen, which ended in frustration for climate alarmists and nothing binding for the rest of us. The emails' peek behind the scenes called into question the motives of climate alarmists, the reliability of the science behind their scary stories and pointed up the conspiratorial nature of the clique.
It also hasn't hurt that the public increasingly is aware climate alarmists' catastrophic claims aren't panning out. Sea levels declined in 2010, rather than drowning island nations as claimed. The melting of Mount Kilimanjaro's snow cap was proven unrelated to global warming, contrary to claims. There are fewer, not more, devastating hurricanes. Temperatures at best have remained level for nearly 15 years, despite historic increases in CO2 emissions, which warming theorists insist should drive them higher.
And now, as nations ride out a rough economy, they are becoming more reluctant to cut their own economic throats and throw money at unproductive uses.
...
I know the environment is f*cked up, but if you're sophisticated about complex issues, you would understand why CO2 emitted by man is not the cause of so-called "global warming" and paying carbon taxes is not the solution...its a red-herring Ponzi scheme.Another frantic effort to redistribute wealth from developed nations to developing... more

Anyone that comes to visit America may notice that most of us walk around like a bunch of zombies. Well, the truth is that this is because about half of us are completely doped up on prescription drugs. In America, we don't just take pills if we are sick. In this day and age, the pharmaceutical companies have come up with a pill for just about everything. If we are feeling a little sad, we are told to just pop a pill. If we are feeling a little bit of pain, we are told to just pop a pill. If our children like to run around and play, we are told that giving them the right pills will settle them down. Every single year, prescription drug use in America increases, and there are dozens of different pharmaceutical companies that are making billions of dollars off of our "legal" addiction to drugs. The funny thing is that many of these "legal" drugs are only just the slightest bit different from many of the "illegal" drugs that are being sold out on the streets. But because they have "government approval", the big pharmaceutical companies can relentlessly peddle them to the American public. Many of these drugs are very damaging to our health, many of them are very damaging to our ability to think and many of them are extremely addictive.Anyone that comes to visit America may notice that most of us walk around like a bunch... more

It's hilarious how some of the global warming promoters here at Current are simply pretending that the new leaked e-mails don't reinforce the fact that climate scientists were fudging the numbers to make the data fit their conclusions.
Cooper: Climategate 2.0 further clouds global warming findings
http://www.calgaryherald.com/opinion/Cooper%20Climategate%20further%20clouds%20global%20warming%20findings/5785665/story.html?cid=megadrop_story
Just in time for the Durban, South Africa, climate summit that began Monday, two publications appeared that will reduce the already low expectations that anything will be done to replace the Kyoto Protocol.
The more spectacular has been dubbed Climategate 2.0. It consists of around 5,000 e-mails, many of them refreshingly vulgar. The exchanges were mostly among individuals featured in Climategate 1.0, which helped scuttle the 2009 Copenhagen summit.
The new batch shows that, for example, many so-called climate scientists were fully aware that proof of melting tropical glaciers was bunk, but treated such evidence as “dirty laundry.” Others complained of “nitpicky jerks” who found anomalous data. They grew fretful about anthropogenic global warming skeptics having “extreme religious views.”
Climategate 2.0 indicates that a few honest climate scientists have survived. The second publication, by Ross McKitrick of the University of Guelph, is called What’s Wrong with the IPCC? This study on how the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change conducts its business removes the last glimmer of scientific probity.It's hilarious how some of the global warming promoters here at Current are... more

Newt Gingrich is a promoter of the global warming "theories" (emphasis on theories), thus global warming promoters should be in favor of having him as president since he supports their causes
What was it that convinced you that global warming was a real and pressing problem?
Oh, I think the weight of evidence over time [convinced me] that it's something that you ought to be careful about. As a conservative, I think you ought to be prudent, and it seems to me that the conservative approach should be to minimize the risk of a really catastrophic change.
And when did you come to that?
Well, I thought over the last eight or 10 years it was useful to move in that direction. I was strongly opposed to Kyoto treaty the way it was written; I think it was written by the Europeans as an anti-American document. I also think it doesn't get the job done because it excludes China and India. But I felt that was a lost opportunity to talk about: How do you design a pro-science and pro-technology strategy that lowers the amount of damage the human race does to the planet? ...

World’s most famous street goes green for the holidays
By Bryan Pirolli | November 27, 2011, 11:00 PM PST
PARIS – The most famous avenue in the world lights up for the holidays with energy coming entirely from the sun. The Champs-Elysées, known for its luminous makeover during the holiday season, now features solar powered lights to reduce environmentally unfriendly electricity consumption to zero during December’s festivities.
This past Wednesday, alongside the mayor, French actress Audrey Tatou helped to inaugurate the holiday season by switching on the avenue’s decorative lights. The Champs-Elysées, Paris’s famed shopping street, has always been a place to see and be seen. Between 500,000 and 600,000 people walk along the avenue during the holiday season to experience the large Christmas market lining both sides of the street.
This year, the lights shining along the broad sidewalks of the historical promenade will come directly from the sun.
Semiconductor agency Soitec has routed electricity from 26 trackers in the Pyrenees mountains in France directly to the Champs-Elysées. The solar panels are prepared to furnish the 31,000 KWh used by the lights this year from November 23 through January 11. This is the first time that the holiday lights will be entirely solar powered.
André-Jacques Auberton-Hervé, Soitec’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said that Soitec is proud to be participating in the first ever “zero consumption” holiday lighting in Paris. “Our partnership fits perfectly with our commitment to sustainable development and our support for the French solar energy industry,” he said.
The city chose from among 27 projects for this year’s display. Companies ACT Lighting Design and ASP Blue Square have teamed up to redesign the decorations, adding rings around the 200 trees lining the avenue.
Eco-friendly LED lights are consuming 60% of the energy used in 2010 and a mere 7% of the energy consumed in 2006, showing greater strides towards greener practices. This year’s electricity is comparable to the energy used by eight families of four in a Parisian apartment. The decorations cost a total of one million euros, a fifth of which was paid for by the city and the rest by the Champs-Elysées partnerships.

With all the occupy Wall St. protests, greed and uncaring practice that gets the headlines, strife and conflict that is going on-----I think it is time to recognize one fact.
Businesses are people. There are good ones, and there are bad ones. People make good choices, and people make bad choices----and businesses do too. Because it is people who make the choices, in businesses, and in personal life.
We should celebrate and give our praise and respect to people who make good choices with respect to decency, respect, honor and integrity.
I think we should do exactly the same for businesses that do the same.
Here is a list of businesses from Forbes Magazine that were the top charitable contributors for the last year.
I think everyone has a right to know not only which businesses are doing a bad job---but also, which are doing a good job at building a better community.

Most Americans still believe that our weather patterns are 100% natural and that our government has absolutely no control over the weather. Unfortunately, that is not the case at all. What you are about to read is evidence that weather modification is happening right now all over the United States. This is never acknowledged by our politicians and it is never talked about by the mainstream media. But it is very, very real. Weather modification programs in some parts of the country have been going on for many years and evidence of these programs is hidden in plain view. So does this mean that if we don't like the weather we can just blame the government? Well, yes it does, but it also means that the government has been seriously messing around with our environment and there could be "unintended consequences" that are far more dramatic than any of us ever dared to imagine.Most Americans still believe that our weather patterns are 100% natural and that our... more

“Light” is a mesmerizing two-minute short film directed by David Parker for Sunday Paper. The film was shot over a couple nights in Los Angeles as two friends drove around with a camera exploring the city’s architecture and abandoned landscapes. Their work evolved into a project intended to bring awareness to energy waste. Bleeding, crying lights metaphorically parallel the ways in which we squander our natural resources without much thought. While the original sentiment remains, the film also grew into a poetic statement about a world run wild and the human tendency to exploit that which we hold dear.
This piece includes a number of color photographs, as well as the wonderful short film.

Tons of L.A. River trash to be captured before hitting the sea
November 1, 2011 | 4:57 pm
.
Tons of trash normally swept to the ocean by the Los Angeles River should be captured by thousands of trash screens that have been installed beneath nearly every storm drain in the lower reaches of the river.
The project is believed to be the largest debris-capturing effort in the nation and marks the most aggressive attack yet on river trash in the Los Angeles region.
The project spans 16 cities and is expected to keep 840,000 pounds of debris -- the equivalent of about 450 Volkswagen Beetles -- from reaching the ocean each year, according to the Gateway Authority, a coalition of cities and public water agencies in southeastern L.A. County.
The biggest winner from the project is Long Beach, where workers routinely have to scoop floating islands of plastic bottles, grocery bags and other debris flowing from dozens of communities upstream before it litters the city’s coastline.
In August 2010, crews began installing the stainless-steel, full-capture trash devices inside nearly 12,000 catch basins.
The simple mesh contraptions sit just below the drains where water from city streets flows into the storm-water system and can catch debris as small as a cigarette butt.
Another 5,400 drains in the most-littered areas also were outfitted with street-level retractable screens as a second layer of defense.

It's that time of year again: The McRib magically reappears at McDonald's for a few weeks . . . only to be snatched away before Thanksgiving.
So here's a dilemma. Do you want to enjoy your few weeks of eating McRibs in blissful ignorance . . . or do you want to go behind the curtain and hear what the actual ingredients are?
If you don't want to know, cover your ears for about 45 seconds . . . NOW.
Chemicals. There are about 70 ingredients involved . . . 34 of which are in the bun. Most of those are chemicals used for who knows what. But one is azodicarbonamide, which bleaches flour and is also used to make gym mats.
Pig scraps. The McRib is assembled from pieces of pig like the heart and stomach. Those are cooked together and blended into a substance that IS pig . . . at least technically.
Lots of salt. Salt is used for flavoring . . . and to extract proteins from the meat which help basically GLUE the stray pig parts together.
No bones at all. You'll never have to worry about finding a rib bone or any other bone in your McRib . . . just because it's pressed to LOOK like ribs doesn't mean there are actually any ribs inside.

This is part of the West’s bigger agenda of establishing neo-colonialism with the goal of ruthlessly controlling and exploiting the natural resources of the developing countries. It’s debatable whether Gadaffi was a hero or a villain but at the end of the western era, history will be re-written and the Western leaders will be declared murderous villains as the blood is also on their hands. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43018-why-the-unsung-hero-gaddafi-was-murdered-by-the-westThis is part of the West’s bigger agenda of establishing neo-colonialism with... more

It's the next step in "Polarbeargate" – one of two scientists whose report on dead polar bears in the Arctic helped make the animal a potent symbol of climate change has been asked to take a lie detector test as part of an investigation by US agents.
The 2006 report from American wildlife researchers Jeffrey Gleason and Charles Monnett told of dead bears floating in the Arctic Ocean in 2004, apparently drowned, and focused attention on the vulnerability of the animals to the melting of the Arctic ice, which they need for hunting. Widespread references were made to the dead bears and they figured in the film An Inconvenient Truth, made by Al Gore to highlight the risks of global warming.
But earlier this year, allegations were made within the US Department of the Interior that acts of scientific misconduct might have been committed in relation to the report, and the Department's Office of Inspector General (OIG) began an inquiry.
Mr Monnett, who works for the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, a Department of the Interior agency, became the focus of the inquiry and was interviewed several times by OIG agents; in July he was suspended.
The OIG said the suspensions followed concerns about a research contract he had been involved in awarding, and not his polar bear article. But some pressure groups alleged the episode represented political interference with science and was a witch-hunt, or at least an attempt to intimidate researchers whose studies might affect the politics of climate change. The issue became known in some quarters as "Polarbeargate".

Problem is, the polar bears didn't die, they're great swimmers and fishers and their population has more than doubled over the past few decades. Just more evidence that proves these "scientists" are paid-off quacks, who don't follow the scientific method and have fraudulently manipulated data to fear-monger the population to believing their banker bosses' carbon scam.It's the next step in "Polarbeargate" – one of two scientists... more

It’s never a nice sight to see old plastic bottles floating along in a river so it’s particularly pleasing that someone has finally found a way of putting this litter to good use.
Start-up company Vertech Limited has just completed a project to build a 90-foot bridge made entirely of recycled plastic over the River Tweed at Easter Dawyck in Wales.
The bridge was created using 50 tonnes of waste plastic and was put together over four days. It is capable of carrying all types of transport – including heavy goods vehicles.
Not only does it solve the problem of what to do with used plastic but the bridge also has quite a few other benefits. Firstly, it won’t rust like a metal bridge so no costly paintwork required. Secondly, it is fully recyclable so can be dismantled and put to another use in future.
