LAIKIPIA DISTRICT, Northern Kenya – It was a shocking sight and the putrid smell almost made me vomit: A hundred dead cows were spread across the dry plain in various stages of decomposition. Flies buzzed around their insides which had oozed onto the dry grass. Organs lay exposed and body parts, legs, heads and ears littered the earth.
Other dead cows were untouched. Jeremiah Lemiruni, a Samburu leader, strode among them, while I kept my eyes fixed to the ground, fearful of treading on some molding skin or rotting corpse. We were followed by a dozen tribesmen in red blankets carrying spears and clubs. They poked sadly at the carcasses as Jeremiah explained: "The older ones were killed by bullets, the rest died from the drought."

A six-hour drive through the Ololoque hills and Samburu bush land of northern Kenya reveals the devastating impact of years of poor-to-no rainfall.


This state of affairs in Kenya will eventually spread across the globe. Oil will be a minute concern as we scramble for what will be THE number one commodity - water. Feeding the problem is the world's number one issue - overpopulation.

It's happening all over the world as rivers, lakes and aquifers dry up, even in the United States. Cap'n Cat is not taking sides in the Global Warming debate. He's just offering this up for discussion.

But climate change is a myth, Captain.

And feeding this problem is the world's insistence that we continue to try and populate places that simply can NOT sustain any substantial population (Etheopia, Kenya, Sudan, etc., etc., etc). We artificially prop up these places/populations and then wonder why they can't sustain it?

Really? I don't know one person who believes that. You keep stating it like conservatives believe it's fact. We realize the climate is changing. We also realize Al Gore invented the internet.

I agree with you so much, Z, that I think, if you were here, I'd fellate you lovingly.

You do know, Z, that the bolded is an urban myth, right? He never said that.

And I think that, if you were here, I'd let you. Because dback told me it's not gay if you're RECEIVING head from a guy.

OK. Just so you know. Maybe we two, together, arm-in-arm, can educate the unwashed Conk masses about that one.

Az speaks the Truth...

Anyone who has looked at the history of this little pebble we call home understands there has been climate shifts over the eons...we're in one now...

What scares me...what pisses me off...are the scare mongers like algore who are trying to make a buck with their chicken-little like whinings...and the scientists who are willing to falsify data to keep the research dollars flowing to support the scare mongers...

Or the scientists that take money from Exxon-Mobil to smear/discredit falsely legitimate research that shows the Globe IS warming, and that warming has accelerated in the past 30-40 years, and is definately influenced by man.

Climate Change is a fact and everyone agrees on that. The climate changes. This re-branding of Global Warming as Climate Change is the farce that gets people pissed off.

So important you had to say it three times, Jon?

Who says it's legitimate...the University of East Anglica, where data is falsified to make the point they want???

No one disputes the concept of climate change. Over the millions of years history of the earth the climate has changed multiple time with no influence from man. The temperature has gone up and the temperature has gone down and the cycle has been repeated. Basing a complete change of lifestyle on even 100 years of data in millions of years of history is absurd particularly when we know the history.
