announced their alternative plan
threatened to boycott.
A historic worldwide deliberative survey represents a milestone in democracy at the global level and a challenge to pessimists who say it’s impossible to negotiate a new international climate change treaty this year.

Glenn Beck wants to save America from Meatless Mondays. I can't help but think that if he didn't have a television show, he would be somewhere conjuring up balloon boy hoaxes.
Well, not quite yet. I have been forgetting to read our local newspaper again, and imagine my surprise at finding out the 30 year old I&W brine well at the intersection of route 285 and 62/180 is collapsing.
Route 285 is the main N/S drag through SE New Mexico. We've had a couple of sinkholes at brine well sites in the area during the last year, but nothing in town, let alone next to a major interstate (oh, and also the unlined irrigation canal, to make matters more interesting).
Sinkholes can form suddenly and eat goodly chunks of land, not to mention vehicles and humans. Lots of karst in the area.
Looking at the articles on the fire departments webpage http://www.carlsbadnm.com/fire/
it's clear they think there's a goodly chance this puppy is going to collapse.
Just more good clean mining fun, I guess.

Thanks for the roundup.
Only the 4th largest emitter? At least he's got room to grow, and I think if anyone can rise to the occasion, it's GB.
