I owe the Canadian Broadcasting Company and all it's members an apology. I once called them cowards for not standing up to Canadian federal prime minister Harper when he threatened to cut their budget. I also worried, with good reason, that the CBC was not providing enough coverage on global warming! The reason I worried pertains to my information from NASA which was not correlating with anything the CBC was providing over the last few years. That of course has changed with the proliferation of deadly hurricanes such as "Super Typhoon Haiyan which has hit Guiuan, on the Philippine island of Samar, at 4:40 a.m. local time Friday. Three hours before landfall, the Joint Typhoon Warning Centre assessed Haiyan's sustained winds at 195 mph, gusting to 235 mph, making it the fourth-strongest tropical cyclone in world history" and the C.B.C, along with many international NEWS services, finally provided sufficient if not prolific information after the fact. Ten thousand people are presumed dead because of hurricane Haiyan. How many of these people could have been saved with enough advanced warning? What if global warming deniers were fewer and far between and television commercials sold millions more Electric Cars? Meanwhile, my friend in Washington would like you to read this ....> SUPPORT THE EPA'S NEW CLEAN ENERGY STANDARDS. "Climate change is real, man-made, and dangerous -- and a lot of that is due to carbon pollution from power plants. It threatens the health of our communities, and is already leading to more frequent and damaging storms, wildfires, droughts, and heat waves. I strongly support the EPA's standards to clean up carbon pollution from new and existing power plants because it will protect Americans' health, spur investment in clean energy, and unleash American innovation."
