MooPig Tech Coroner :: CO2 and Your Momma

The new app that tracks your carbon footprint — and lords it over your friends | Grist: "Ian Monroe wants you to beat your Facebook friends at a new game: Who has the lowest carbon footprint?

"... Monroe is the CEO of Oroeco, a recently launched web app that tracks a user’s personal impact on climate change. The app not only helps you quantify your own footprint — based on your spending habits, made possible through linking up with Mint.com — but by logging in with Facebook it’ll allow you to compare your carbon sins with those of your virtual community. Ultimately, Monroe wants to motivate users to emit a little (or a lot) less greenhouse gas. In other words, go ahead and feel green – with envy, that is..."

"... or the only other way I can make a meaningful dent is to buy legitimate carbon offsets. There are definitely some carbon offset projects that are a bunch of bullshit, but there are also some projects that are really good. Those are the ones we’re building into Oroeco’s platform, to make it easy for people to give to them..."

CONCLUSION
Going Green tends to alienate people rather than galvanize the populace. Why is that? MooPig Galvanizing Department will be asking that question a lot in the near future.

The lesson here is if you want to be the communist half of your country, you might consider choosing the southern half of the boundaries. It is the same here in the USA, socialists inhabit the Northern half of the country; rugged individualism survives in the South. It is a growing divisive issue worldwide, as the Global South is attacked by starving communist corporate dog-asses who would turn food production into a colossal automaton mess. Food and Water supplies will force new boundaries all over the world, especially in North and South Korea. [Read Entire Article HERE]

MooPig Carbon Footprint :: "Saudi Money"

“While this refinery has a long and proud history, it now has an even brighter and more promising future,” Al-Falih told dignitaries and guests gathered to celebrate this milestone event.

Saudi Aramco’s investment in the refinery expansion is meant to ensure that Saudi Arabia will retain an important market for its crude in the United States at a time when American politicians are declaring their intention to wean the country off imported oil.

MooPig GREEN :: Energy Source Developments -- "Fracking"

The Whole Fracking Enchilada | Sandra Steingraber | Orion Magazine: EXCERPT  |  " ... "But high-volume slick water hydrofracturing of shale gas—fracking—is way bigger than PVC and synthetic fertilizer. In fact, it makes them both cheaply available. Fracking is linked to every part of the environmental crisis—from radiation exposure to habitat loss—and contravenes every principle of environmental thinking."

" ... HERE, THEN, are the environmental precepts violated by hydrofracking: 1) Environmental degradation of the commons should be factored into the price structure of the product (full-cost accounting), whose true carbon footprint—inclusive of all those diesel truck trips, blowouts, and methane leaks—requires calculation (life-cycle analysis). 2) Benefit of the doubt goes to public health, not the things that threaten it, especially in situations where catastrophic harm—aquifer contamination with carcinogens—is unremediable (the Precautionary Principle). 3) There is no away.

Forget about going GREEN -- Brown Fat Energy is Godsend

Brown-Paper Intro: Learning to love our Fat
Retrieved by Pat Darnell and the Hive


[Source] While the Material Girl is digging deep into her own pockets to help earthquake victims in her ancestral land, Fat might become the new commodity. It's called brown fat; maybe we could bail ourselves out by selling Daddy's fat on the market.

We should be doing something with all the extra fat around, no? "Dr. Francesco Celi, an endocrinology and metabolism researcher at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, said the studies show this fat burns large amounts of energy.
"So it could be used as a target" for a pill that would somehow rev up the fat," he said.

Studies of 'good' fat could help with weight loss
LINDA A. JOHNSON, AP [Breitbart]

Energy? Hmmmmm??!!

"I don't want to use the word 'exercise-in-a-pill,' but it's doing something (that's) getting rid of calories," he said, adding that any obesity treatment developed around the fat could be a potential treatment for diabetes as well.
The studies were published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.
The good fat is actually brownish, while the more predominant bad fat is white or yellow. Brown fat is stored mostly around the neck and under the collarbone. White fat tends to concentrate around the waistline, where it stores excess energy and releases chemicals that control metabolism and the use of insulin.
All three research groups documented the presence and activity of the brown fat by examining tissue samples from some patients and using high-tech imaging that indicated how much sugar, and therefore calories, the fat burned.

Is Everyone Constipated?

Post Preponderance, by Pat Darnell

With all due respect -- why would anyone call the financial bailout "The Stimulus Package?" For example in this Letter to Obama "stimulus package" appears a dozen times. Does it mean we are going BROWN before we go GREEN? MooPig wants to know.

Letter to Obama | by • Posted January 26, 2009 05:19 PM | [SOURCE]
Forty-nine American Nobel laureates and other distinguished American scientists call the president's attention to the importance of increasing federal funding for scientific research.

Dear President Obama,
We know that the focus of the stimulus package is on short-term spending over 1-2 years, without long-term commitments of federal money. There are many urgent needs for short-term spending on science, such as infrastructure spending and bridge grants to allow research to continue until longer-term funding proposals are successful.

Funding for science and engineering creates good jobs throughout the local community: Families USA has estimated, for example, that each $1 billion of NIH research grant funding creates over 15,000 jobs with an average wage of $52,000/year and generates $2.21 billion of new business activity, a much better "multiplier" than many other proposed parts of the stimulus package.

Spending on science, engineering and technology will be only a relatively small part of a larger stimulus package, yet it will make a vital contribution to America's future. Increases in science spending provide an excellent stimulus while the economy needs one. But as you must appreciate, to rebuild American science, science spending will need to be sustained even when the economy returns to health. We know it is your goal to restore funding for science to the levels needed to maintain the vigor and leadership of American scientific research. We believe that the forthcoming economic stimulus package provides a remarkable opportunity to initiate this effort immediately, forcefully, and productively.... (read it all HERE)

The Constipation of the United States of America
by Phil Harris

An irregular diet and lots of stress seems like a perfect recipe for constipation. Sometimes, when we get too complicated in treating ailments, there are unforeseen, rebound effects that can be worse than the original symptoms. One can always make a case for using natural remedies whenever possible; leading ultimately to a steady, lasting improvement.

The United States of America is suffering from a severe case of social and political constipation. Liberals, such as Barak Obama and so many of the democrats who are in control of Congress are addicted to invasive remedies.

Stimulate This!!Okay last word: We're going BROWN.... with Obama's Package.
