Brief power outage this AM not only got the clocks and microwave (and blanked me off mid-page, growl) but reset my A/C.
Well, I caught it before it went over 85 in here....

From TrueMajority.org:
"Alec Loorz was just 12 years old when he saw An Inconvenient Truth and got motivated to stop global warming.
He asked to be an Al Gore-trained climate presenter, but they said he was too young. So Alec put together his own presentation about climate change and started delivering it to other young people. Alec has toured schools and concerts, won awards and recognition, and he's demonstrated a unique ability to get young people fired up about climate change.
Earlier this year, Alec wrote the Declaration of Independence from fossil fuels and has already gathered over 30,000 signatures from other young people. Now, Alec and his team have come up with a wild, hip-hop themed video to get young people and facebook users to sign.
I wanted you to see the video, and the Declaration it supports, and then pass it on to any young people you know. Click here to check out the video, and customize it to include your name or the name of a young activist you know.

So...from one concerned 15 year old to the world -- pass it on. I'm impressed he didn't let them tell him he was too young, he just went out and did it his own way. That's the age where you start to pay attention. Let's see if he can catch the attention of others!

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — In what some scientists see as another alarming consequence of global warming, thousands of Pacific walruses above the Arctic Circle were killed in stampedes earlier this year after the disappearance of sea ice caused them to crowd onto the shoreline in extraordinary numbers.
