Is anyone shaking the foundations on global warming initiatives these days? You might be surprised to find out the answer, as there has actually been a seismic shift, but this time it’s coming from an unexpected source – Walmart! Check out In the News this week and read the whole story on Walmart’s new program to reduce greenhouse gases by 20 million metric tons! In our Video Peek of the Week we introduce you to Peter Sinclair, the brains behind the ever enjoyable “Climate Denial Crock of the Week.” Climate Mama 
has two new partners, Explore.org and The Climate Summit, both of which have exciting programs coming up. Check out our partners page for links to their sites and get more information on upcoming programs. World Water Day is March 22nd. Water is a resource that in North America we too often take for granted. Did you know that in many developing countries the average walk to clean water is 6km; and because of climate change, access to this invaluable resource is becoming more scarce, and not just in the developing world!

Go green. Lower quality, higher prices. Get less for your money. Cleaners that don’t clean. Paint that doesn’t stick to anything. Harsh, retina grating light bulbs full of toxic chemicals. Electric vehicles that ultimately use more energy than they save. Wind powered turbines that destroy acres of land for a minuscule few kilowatts of unreliable power. Equally unreliable solar grids more poisonous than a cyanide farm. And don’t forget the endangered species. Outlaw surfing because it might annoy some life form somewhere under water. Forget about trout streams, and surf fishing. Shut down the water for California’s agriculture to prevent a negligible risk to a tiny fish while billions of acre feet flow out to sea unused. Don’t worry. All your produce is coming from Mexico, Chile, and Peru anyway. Forget about the energy it takes to move it those thousands of miles. In the mean time, tax Co2 emissions until your winter heating bills run higher than your mortgage- in Southern California. And lower emissions standards until the internal combustion engine is outlawed altogether. We’ll all get around on high speed railways that don’t go anywhere anyone wants to go. There’s a great future in bicycles. Made in China.
