Google could have been open about it. It could have said: "Want to keep total control over your privacy? Simple. Do not use ANY of our services." Or, in other words, Google means: "Want to lose total control over your privacy, use ANY of our services". If you want to know how Google intends to proceed with your personal and private data as of March 1, 2012, then <a href="http://share.sitesell.com/DECAJOL.html?http://chn.ge/wXWroM ">read this</a> about their announcement. http://bit.ly/zzAwUq You can help make Google ask fairly and be open about the consequences <b>to you</b> of their decision concerning <b>their</b> use of <b>your</b> personal and private data. <a href="http://share.sitesell.com/DECAJOL.html?http://chn.ge/wXWroM ">Sign the petition</a>!

Google states that it will use our personal data - and the data we generate by using their services (i.e. Gmail, Google Toolbar, Google Search, etc.) to "...Provide, maintain, protect, and improve our services (including advertising services) and develop new services...". Google has already notified everyone that we agree with their policy when we use ANY of their services starting March 1, 2012. <b>If you think that's bad news</b> - and you certainly should - here is something else for you to ponder. Here is an excerpt from Google's upcoming policy due to be implemented March 1, 2012. "We restrict access to personal information to Google employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations." From a single point of failure - Google - we will go to multiple points of failure. The "... if they fail to meet these obligations..." is <u>particularly worrisome</u>. Criminal prosecution, stiff fines, jail ... will all be of <u>no consolation to you</u> once your personal data is leaked out or misused by one of Google's contractors or agents, whether unscrupulously or by lack of proper security measures! <b>Think about that.</b> Furthermore ... Google's policy goes on to state that ... "If Google becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will ensure the confidentiality of any personal information involved in such transactions and provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy." We will NOT be asked. We will simply be provided notice! We will not be able to say no! <b>DO something about that!</b> Protect your privacy.

The strongest solar radiation storm since 2005 is in progress. Surely, this storm is bound to disturb more than a few molecules in our atmosphere.

Scientists are beginning to speak out, publicly. Are the dissidents on to something? Tue, 03 May 2011 16:05:03 GMT http://www.weather-in-canada-observer.com/cause-of-global-warming.html More food for thought about climate change and its likely causes. "We want to have a system to describe the actual <b>ocean currents because they transport heat and influence climate</b>". (Roger Haagmans) Three things stand out here. 1. Oceans influence climate. 2. We still know very little about ocean currents and, consequently, about dynamic heat distribution in oceans. Hence the ongoing research. The quote is an excerpt from an article published in NewScientist magazine, April 9 2011, p.7. 3. The article does not mention how the oceans are heated. The scientist quoted is Roger Haagmans, mission scientist for the European Space Agency's Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE). Wed, 27 Apr 2011 17:04:07 GMT http://www.weather-in-canada-observer.com/causes-of-global-warming.html New Scientist Magazine has published a Special Report on "The Truth About Climate Models" in its January 15-21, 2011 issue.

Rolestone explained that even as far back as last winter, temperatures over the Indian Ocean to the north, up towards Indonesia, Java, and over the Pacific Ocean east of Australia, were well above average. <b>Editor's Comment</b> Hopefully, oceanologists will some day be able to tell us <b>*why*</b> the the Indian and Pacific oceans have warmed up so.
