Keeping a gun for self defense does not a fanatic make. Or is that just a fantasy of mine?

National Science Foundation |

Adélie penguins are sea ice obligate birds, which means they exist only where there is sea ice, just as many song birds exist only where there are trees…

However, in certain instances, there can be too much ice. Penguins are really great at swimming but are slow at walking. Areas of open water allow the penguins to be more efficient at foraging and bringing back food to their chicks. For their size, Adélies can dive deeper and can hold their breath longer to reach farther under ice floes, than can penguin species that avoid sea ice. Not surprisingly, then, the Adélie colonies are highly sensitive to minor changes in the amount of sea ice, which itself is responsive to changing climate…

"Because of the 50 miles of sea ice, the penguins had to walk across to get to open water. The young adults, returning to look for territories, after a short way decided that the walk wasn't worth the effort and began to visit colonies, such as at Cape Bird, closer to seas only partially covered by ice," said Ainley. "Adults who had nested at Royds before undertook the entire trip initially, but then deserted. After failing to breed for a couple of seasons even these adults began to look for nesting territories elsewhere…"

"These penguins ignored the rule of thumb that scientists believed for decades--that penguins are faithful to their colony of birth--and they began to emigrate to other colonies, not just as young recruits, but birds that bred previously in their respective colonies. This totally tore up the book on how penguins should relate to their chosen habitat," says Ainley…

Islands Business | United States Launches Project to Build Community Resilience to Climate Change

PORT MORESBY, PNG ---The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) launched the Coastal Community Adaptation Project (C-CAP), a new five-year project that will build the resilience of vulnerable communities across 12 Pacific Island countries to climate change…

The C-CAP Project will help identify and rehabilitate social, economic and water infrastructure that are at risk to current and projected impacts of climate change in up to 90 communities across the Pacific region. After developing climate adaptation options, the project will support a community-led process to prioritize adaptation activities and provide funding for their implementation. It will provide technical assistance to community leaders in developing community risk maps and strategic initiatives designed to help communities seek further assistance from government agencies and outside funding sources…

It will implement activities in the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. The C-CAP is headquartered in Port Moresby, with a sub-office in Suva, Fiji.

Mashable | Can This Surprising Discovery Fix Climate Change?

… there a simple fix for desertification — and has it been under our noses the whole time? Allan Savory thinks so. An award-winning biologist and land management expert, Savory gave what was widely seen as one of the most astonishing talks at the TED 2013 conference in Long Beach last week.

The solution? Put thousands of animals onto land that is threatening to turn into desert. Bunch that livestock together as a herd and move it around at speed, in a way that mimics the great herds of ages past…

The livestock fix is completely counterintuitive for biologists, who long believed that animals were causing desertification, not fixing it. Savory himself insisted on this for years. Based on his recommendations as a young researcher, African national parks killed around 40,000 elephants...

Slate | How to Win Any Climate Change Argument

A flow chart for debating with denialists.

If you’re exhausted by climate change shouting matches or so flummoxed by confronting scientific ignorance that you suffer in silence, this chart might be for you. It provides responses to three of the common stages of climate change disbelief: that climate change isn’t happening, that scientists can’t decide whether it’s happening, and that it’s happening but not caused by mankind.

What happens happens. I pray for God's protection as I pray the efforts of good people to defend themselves will be successful. Christianity is not a suicide pact. We will not go quietly in the stomach of the wolf.
Natural law was written by God and one of those laws is that people(as all creatures) have the right of self defense.
God's will be done.

"Al Gore is a goose-stepping Trotskyite engaged in a leftist conspiracy." I couldn't agree more.

I'm so confused now. I thought he was engaged in a right wing capitalist conspiracy, to get rich buying and selling carbon credits in the marketplace he helped create...

Your wish is hardly God's will! I am always amazed at how un-Christlike so many avowed Christians are:

Luke 6

27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Matthew 5

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Gun fanatics hijacking boat design threads should take their opinions on guns and sick insults to forums like Visit http://guntalkandtroy.eamped.com/ that are more suited.
This is a boat design forum, not guns and politics.

Then why do you take every opportunity to start ranting and raving about guns here? If you really want to discuss them, you're certainly welcome at my forum instead...

You would like us to just lay down and take it wouldn't you? Ain't happening. Satan quoted from the Bible too. Matthew 4:6
