Fiji Farmers Learn To Grow Sugar Cane, Not Weeds

News Analysis: Fiji Farmers Learn To Grow Sugar Cane, Not Weeds since weeds are very deleterious to Sugar Cane growth. Since World-Wide production of Sugar Cane averages

a  yield of approximately 70+ tons per Hectare (28+ tons per Acre) hence, gaining maximum benefit by reducing Pests and Diseases is essential for high crop yields.

Fiji has abundant sunshine and rain so it is worthy of good crop production. As Fijians have learned over the years, Pesticides used properly can eradicate Pests so Sugar Cane Plants flourish.

Sugar Cane is a marvelous plant with many various benefits for Humanity beyond being a mere Sweetener.

☆ Global Warming?: America’s Lake Michigan Is Covered With A Record Amount Of Ice

News Analysis: A Record 90% of Lake Michigan is covered in Ice. In Mid-February, ALL the Great Lakes were covered in Ice. One might ask: “If Politicians keep bantering about Global Warming, as they certainly do, does it not take substantially colder temperatures to Cause 90% Ice Coverage (a Record); this  over ALL of the Great Lakes?”

Perhaps an “Oxymoron” would be the best delineation for ‘Global Warming’s Record Icing’.

Many Scientists think the Natural “Ebb and Flow” of the Earth’s Temperatures, which have proven to Historically have happened (evidenced through Biologic and Geologic Examinations) should merely be referred to as “Climate Change”. 

The Connotative Suggestion in “Global Warming” is both Conclusive And Directional. The Denotative Value of “Climate Change” is Objectively Descriptive.

As important as the Earth’s Temperature is, Emotionalized Pronouncements by Politicians and their Mass Media Minions does NO Good Service to this Subject. “Phony Causality” Benefits NO Thinking Individual.

‘Global Warming’ Computer Models Evidence “Garbage In, Garbage Out” (GIGO)

News Analysis: The Well Respected Dr. Patrick Moore, the Greenpeace Co-Founder, joins many other scientists in proclaiming: ‘Global Warming’ Computer Models Evidence “Garbage In, Garbage Out” (GIGO).  By merely looking back 50 Years, many Modelers who inputted a 50 Year Calculation Base, let the results of the Computer Outputs, substantiate the Computer Inputs; Skewed Logic many Scientists maintain (as Hundreds of Years are more accurate for a proper analysis and for correct conclusions therefrom).

There is VERIFIABLE Scientific Proof the Earth Warms and later Cools (as evidenced by its Biologic and Geologic Histories).The many other Data Flaws, which Dr. Moore deplores, gives further rise to the question: “Who Is Really Benefitting By ‘Beating The Drums’ for Global Warming?”

One quick, yet valid Methodology, to examine the provable worth of a “Scientific’ Premise is to look at who rapidly embraces it as a FACT; If it is a Politician (even a Vice-President) then “Caveat Emptor”.

All too often, the Political Ilk, ‘front’ for Business Interests with Special Agendas; “Global Control” is the Name of their Game.

☆ America’s $18 Trillion Dollars Of Debt Makes Replacement Of Old Cracked Dams Unlikely

News Analysis: America’s $18 Trillion Dollars Of Debt Makes Replacement Of Old Cracked Dams Unlikely (since it can ill afford such costs). Its President’s Indebting the Nation at a faster rate than the past Presidents says a lot about his knowledge of Money Management. Of course, his Minions at the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), with their $4 Trillion Dollars in Debt, cannot do much to help. Over his remaining Two+ Years in Office, many Economists think he will raise America’s indebtedness to over $20 Trillion Dollars and not replace Decrepit Infrastructure whatsoever. 

Allowing for continued Military Incursions overseas at an approximate estimated cost of $1 Million Dollars Per Man-Year, negates availability of Funds for Federal Domestic Improvements. In spite of his Campaign Promises to cut Military Extravagances, America maintains its largest Defense Forces in the World.

As America Gloats about its Military Strengths, Its Dams Crack. If, in Seriatim Fashion, also, Bridges Fail, and/or, there are Climatic or Geologic Perturbations, how can the Country pay for the damages incurred? “Just Print More Money” will be the answer from the ‘Fed’.

☆ Scents From Pine Forests Create Micro-Climates

News Analysis: Perhaps since it has been demonstrated that Scents From Pine Forests Create Micro-Climates, Concerned Billionaires of the World will financially back Environmentalists in planting Pine Forests everywhere possible. This because the Scent Chemicals of Pine Forests rise above the trees and bind with other Molecules and become a “Solar Energy Shield” reflecting the Sun’s Rays outward into the skies; thereby cooling the areas.

For many decades we have stressed the need for the world to Re-Forest itself as an effective way to influence Climate Change. Unfortunately, this Methodology is not “Sexy” nor “Thought To Be” High Technology (HT). This Mind Set being as viewed by many Journalism Majors who now write for the Mass Media. However, Recent Research can dispel the notion that Re-Forestation is not ‘HT’.  Micro-Climates being created by ‘Mother Nature’ are as Sophisticated and Evolved in the “Flora World” as any in the “Fauna World”.

Man in his Arrogance needs to Think Objectively, if he can, about the “Other Half of the Planet” of which he is not a Member: Flora,  for it is also Scientifically Stimulating as to its Evolved ‘Technical Abilities’.

American New Home Construction Falters Despite “Bubble Masters” Best Efforts

News Analysis: The Real Estate “Bubble Masters” have already been making grandiose projections about the rise in New Housing for Americans. To the naïve Freiers who did not learn their lessons about “The Greater Sucker Principle” in the Crash of 2008 Real Estate, renewed learning may apply.

Despite blaming the Weather for the contraction in Housing Starts, another Reality is at work: Low Paying Jobs, Part-Time Jobs, and No Jobs do not make a sound financial basis upon which people can acquire New Homes.

The $1.2 Trillion Dollars given by the U.S. Treasury to the Banks in 2008 have NOT spiked Manufacturing Employment nor Wage Increases; it merely allowed Bankers to gain financially.

Despite brilliant ‘Teleprompter Based Oratory’ by the White House as to how wonderful the Economy Is (“Just look at the Stock Market”), the struggle faced by Millions of Americans is of growing concern to many. “Hamburger Stand Employment Increases” is a good White House Baseline to brag about.

If one enters in the added cost to Americans of the spurious Medical Program of White House Origination, money for purchasing new housing is a mirage at best. Disinflation is more of a proper summation of the American Economy today.

Inflationary expectations that many of the “Masters of the Universe” projected for their buying enormous quantities of Precious Metals is effete. Perhaps the “Housing Experts” can convince the “Precious Metal Funds” to buy their New Homes, obviously the “Joe Averages of America” are not and cannot.

Reality.

★ Record Number Of Airline Flight Cancellations In Stormy America Suggests High Speed Rail Use Is Needed

News Analysis: Since December 1, 2013 there have been 75,000+ Airline Flight Cancellations in America due to Inclement Weather. The disruption to Millions of Passengers at a Total Economic Cost to America and Americans  in the Billions of Dollars for this continuing Winter Weather. Since many Meteorologists presume that ‘Climate Change’ will make such Icy Weather a Common Event in future Winters, many Technologists are suggesting America adopt High Speed Rail Service Interconnecting the various Metropolises (1+ Million People each) across the Country.

Environmentalists should rejoice at savings of Billions of Gallons of Aviation Fuel a Year (which would pollute the Atmosphere). The U.S. Transportation Security Agency could eliminate thousands of  employees for enormous cost savings to the U.S. Government; Terrorists would not be able to send Trains into a Tall Building (thereby not making the Lessee have to direct the Local Fire Department Head to Implode the Structure).

One could expect to find American Air Frames ‘Morphing’ Themselves into “High Speed Rail Train Manufacturers” (HSRTMs) since they already have Equipment and Personnel Suited for the Tasks.  

Investors should want to seek out EARLY ON: Bridge Fabricators, Civil Engineering Firms, ‘HSRTMs’,  “Rail Track” Fabricators, Rail Depot Architectural Firms, Railroads,  and Steel Mills  for Investments therein.  

Airlines could re-invent themselves into “High Speed Transportation Companies” by early-on acquisition of those Companies who obtain Government Transportation Licenses to operate such “Speedy Equipment”.

Played Correctly, Everyone Would Benefit: Corporations, Environmentalists, American Public, and the U.S. Government.

Nothing is Constant but Change; Why Fight It?

For A Floundering World Economy, “Blame The Weather”

News Analysis: Washington, D.C. Politicians,  U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed)  Minions, Financial Pundits, and Newscasters around the World have a Convenient Economic Scapegoat to blame: The World’s Weather. Either it is “Too Cold” for Shoppers to Shop (disregarding Internet Shopping) as is the American Excuse or “Too Hot” for Shoppers to Shop (the Australian Financial Media’s Excuse).

The fact that the new ‘Fed’ Chairwoman cannot lower Interest Rates only allows her to flood more Dollars into the American Economy (with abandon). The “Unsupported” ‘Bubble Pricing’ currently in the Stock Markets will feel the effects of “Economic Gravity” in the next few months. The “Blame the Weather” Excuse will no longer be viable and a ‘leg’ of the ‘Three-Legged’ Economic Stool will be kicked out from under.

Many Economists are awaiting another drop in the World Economy: The Four Trillion Dollar Debt of the “Fed” cannot be wisely increased (to ‘shore’ things up); Global Exports are not growing; World Unemployment is over 200 Million people; Public Economic Pessimism is high; and, World Communications (subject to U.S. National Security Agency Espionage) has been dampened by revelations about it.

When all of the aforementioned factors come into play, Politicians will in-adeptly “Blame the Weather” rather than create logical solutions to their World.

Reality.

Austrian Avalanche Advisories From Record Snowfalls Do A ‘Marketing Disservice’ To “Global Warming” Advocacy

News Analysis: It appears to many Weather Observers that “Cold” Moist Air (creating Record Snowfall in Austria to the point of Avalanche Advisories being issued) is inconsistent with “Global Warming”. Perhaps the Politicians who decry Manufacturing Emissions (as he sole cause of “Greenhouse Gases”) will take upon themselves to explain ‘Record Snowfalls Occurring’. Might even “Global Warming Advocates” reconcile: “Snowing Prodigiously, Yet Warming Globally”?

It may be the case that “Climate Change” occurs over Extended Periods of Time as a “Natural Ebb and Flow of World Temperatures”.

☆ Journalistic “Weather Wizards” Promote ‘Conclusive’ Meteorological Assumptions?

News Analysis: The “Enigmatic Arctic Weather Puzzle Within a Global Maze” is often times “Solved” by Journalists who cannot discern between a ‘Weather Event’ and ‘Seriatim Weather’ (occurring over long periods of time).

The Voluminous Contributors to Weather Change are Not Limited to Cosmic Radiation, Earth’s Eruptions, Earth’s Rotation Causing Seasons, Solar Radiation, and Technological Emissions of Man. The Percentage proportions each of the aforementioned regarding Climate Change are not precisely known; their inter-relationship is not either. For example, how Under-Sea Volcanic Activity affects the Matrix overall (if at all) is not understood.

The Ebb and Flow of Temperatures on Earth which led to the past Ice Ages can be determined; the exact Causes, by Percentage of Contribution, cannot at this time.

The “Polar Vortexes” pronounced in the Media and other such utterances by News Casters totally ignore the previous stated Uncertainties of Science.  Their “Snapshot” Views ignore the Judicious Process of ‘Observation of Weather Trends over Time’. They never assume other Natural Processes around the Globe may be contributors the  Weather Event they have focused on.

Many Scientists think that the Journalists’ “Rush To Weather Judgment” does a disservice. Politicians who release Funds for Research may feel compelled by Press Reports to fund projects at best only obliquely germane to a particular weather problem; Politicians typically do not know any better (most lack the Extensive Science Education of Germany’s Chancellor Merkel).

On a “No Effect, Some Effect, Total Effect Gradient” Elements which might contribute to Weather Events should be reviewed OVER TIME. This will allow Climatologists  to get Verifiable Results which can lead to Proper Refutable Scientific Conclusions; not just Holograms of Personal Preference.
