Global warming and Earth changes

From "A lazy man's guide to enlightenment" chapter one:Originally posted by An Eternal Now:So there are countless universes and each is interlinked. It is not in the form of a subjective and objective world. Now if we say you drop something, it is being reflected in all, and that is what Master Tu Shun is saying. "I do not know how you feel" is subjective and objective division. According to Master Tu Shun, there is no difference. It is a reflection in you and in all, no difference at all. "I feel" and "you feel" are all nodes reflecting. There are nodes, but knowing is true.
What we need to remember is that there is nobody here but us chickens. The entire universe is made of beings just like ourselves. Every particle in every atom is a live being. Every molecule or cell is a tribe of beings. Energy is a large number of us vibrating together. Space is an infinite number of our brothers and sisters in perfect bliss.

No one who ever reaps their fruits,
Empty phenomena roll on,
This view alone is right and true.
No god, no Brahma, may be called,
The maker of this wheel of life,
Empty phenomena roll on,
Dependent on conditions all."

that was a very nice picture.
oil painting? who's the artist?
a picture tells a thousand words...
it has that warmth & yet loneliness feel about it and at the same time an aftermath of an irrecoverable sad tragedy spilling all over. how long does it take to become like this? -
I saw it on some other websites.. I traced it back to DeviantArt (since the URL links to deviantart) -- http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/4405722/Originally posted by paperflower:that was a very nice picture.

That's an awful lot of energy-saving lightbulbs, Al

TREE HUGGING EX-VEEP Al Gore is under fire for apparently failing to practise what he preaches, spending $30,000 on gas and electricity at his Nashville estate last year – 20 times the national average.
As Gore's doom and gloom documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, picks up the Best Documentary Oscar, an outfit called the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has, rather inconveniently for the born-again eco-mentalist, picked up the phone and discovered that the man previously famous for being exceedingly dull used 221,000 kWh of electricity in 2006.
Thanks to that pesky Freedom of Information Act, we discover that, last August alone, Gore used 22,619 kWh – more than an average American family uses in a year. Since the release of Gore’s hand-wringing documentary, his personal energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh to 18,400 kWh a month.
Gore supporters claim that the TCPR is operating a cynical smear campaign against him, but the figures from the Nashville Electric Service will need some serious explaining if Gore's credibility as a green campaigner is to remain intact.
Accepting his Oscar last week, Gore said: "It's not as hard as you might think. We have a long way to go but all of us can do something in our own lives to make a difference."
Gore is reportedly installing solar panels on the roof of his mansion. How much bloody electricity can one man use, for God's sake? He may have invented the Internet, but it now looks as if he's running the whole thing from his house.
Al Gore is not a good example of conservation .. -
