He who says 'It can't be fixed' should not stand in the way of he who is fixing it...

*That’s fantastic. As long as we survive a million other hazards on earth plus the unlimited violence, we’re gonna be just fine.*

They said there was always a tweet by Otangecon for any subject at hand. Now, it seems, there is always a speech of his for any subject matter.

Bald Spot ? Try using the old Bosley Hair Replacement Method it works sometimes.

The study also found that this has the effect of limiting global warming by 0.5-1 degree celsius. That is a significant decrease and goes to show that perhaps we don’t need to be so hysterical and authoritarian about climate change anymore.

[yvonneplant]

It means if we care enough we can survive climate change.

Has that hair paint in a spray can been banned???? I'm getting a little thin.

[shelleywinters]

hairspray was never any good! The more I put on the flatter my hair became, couldn't get it to stick up or puff out. Ironically my hair does what I want if I just let it alone.

[taylanzion]

[oopsy]

[CT-vmgf]

And that catastrophe could be POTUS again. Can we get a protocol to stop it from happening.

[t.r.campbell]

No hole, there is simply a thinning of the ozone in this area. We also have to understand that warming is a natural cycle of the earth. The earth has been much warmer than today in the earth has been much colder than today. And we can look back to the Cretaceous period when global temperatures were at least 3 to 4° higher than today and the CO2 levels were at 1600 ppm. At that time plant, animal and aquatic life was very diverse, very robust and often times very large. What we are seeing is the earth doing with the earth does best.
