Surfers have used <a href="http://www.buy-rash-guards.com">rash guard shirts</a> for years but it's just recently that the SPF 150+ protection these shirts provide while you're in the water has been discovered by the rest of the beach going population. http://uebkula.blogr.com/stories/8096528/comments/8099227/ Sun, 08 Jun 2008 20:13:56 +0200 Surfer Girl (anonymous) http://uebkula.blogr.com/stories/8095642/#8097127 If you call an apple an orange enough times will it actually taste and look like an orange ? http://uebkula.blogr.com/stories/8095642/comments/8097127/ Thu, 05 Jun 2008 16:22:53 +0200 steffan (anonymous) http://uebkula.blogr.com/stories/8089564/#8091030 The western model of growth that India and China wish to emulate is intrinsically toxic. It uses huge resources - energy and materials - and generates enormous waste... it remains many steps behind the problems it creates. India and China have no choice but to reinvent the development trajectory. http://uebkula.blogr.com/stories/8089564/comments/8091030/ Fri, 30 May 2008 05:15:59 +0200 green thinking (anonymous) http://uebkula.blogr.com/stories/8090330/#8090914 The report on my imminent death is premature. I have been sloshing around in the basins on the crust for more than four billion years. I now cover nearly 71 per cent of the planet. Since the last ice age I have lifted myself out of the basin by 120 metres and scared the tribes of Noah to the higher ground. During deep time I became the universal solvent for the volcanoes and the clouds. I have taken up as much salt as required by local circumstances and sometimes give it back in hot shallows and desert areas of my world. I have given man the salt in his blood. Your CO2 output is infinitesimally small. I have absorbed as much gas as I need to maintain balance with the organic world within me and on land. The exchange is so peaceful that science calls it equilibrium. I can absorb more CO2, if the plants do not need it, and it does not give me acid imbalance. My pH will remain basic no matter what you say. These variations you measure have come and gone many uncountable times on the planet and your baseline is too small to know the truth. What you do not get is that warming of the oceans releases CO2 and other gasses from my water, while cooling my water allows me to take up CO2 in vast amounts to nestle with the other molecules in my coldest most remote realms. I can absorb all that man can produce because your impact is feeble compared to my capacity. Please watch me with humility for you cannot change me. I am the ongoing sink for the planet, and I am huge and my heat content is beyond your estimation. Measure me here and there with your microscopes but know that I will never be that way in that place again. Open your mind to the infinite cycles of chemistry and physics and kneel on my beach. You can only hurt me by not respecting my infinite ability to change chemistry and temperature in all the corners of the seas. My CO2 feeds your plants and your plants provide all the oxygen you breathe. Your base line is infinitesimally small yet your mouth is wide open.
