Welcome to the Conservative Revolutionary American Party's BLOG. Conservative in that we believe in the Constitution of the U.S.A. We are Revolutionary in the way that our founding fathers were in throwing off the bonds of tyranny. We are American in that we are guided by Native American Spirituality; we ARE responsible for the next 7 generations. We are a Party of like minds coming together for a common cause. This BLOG is a clearing house of information and ideas. PEACE…………Scott

Billion-tree effort launches as new climate reports issued
Ooh, we love reports. A new one from a team of European scientists says the Arctic and Antarctic are linked by powerful currents, creating a "climate seesaw" that connects the fates of the poles and could help scientists predict the effects of polar warming on climate. A second, U.N.-commissioned report scolds rich countries for providing a "woefully inadequate" response to poor countries' desperate need to adapt to climate-change effects already being felt. "The adaptation agenda is somewhere between embryonic and heavily underdeveloped," says lead author Kevin Watkins. And a third report -- OK, this one isn't a report. But we do love it: Kenyan environmentalist Wangari Maathai launched a project yesterday that will fight climate change by planting a billion (carbon dioxide-absorbing) trees in 2007. "Anybody can dig a hole, anybody can put a tree in that hole and water it," the Nobel Peace Prize winner says. "And everybody must make sure that the tree they plant survives."
