just, damn.

Now trade associations of chambers of commerce are another matter. Their purpose is to look out for the best business interests of their members. Too bad a number of companies aren’t listening to NAM. I think they may be slitting their own throats.

New seafloor mapping data show the foot of Alaska’s continental slope extends more than 100 nautical miles (185 kilometers) farther from the U.S. coast than previously believed, U.S. federal scientists said Monday.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data could bolster claims the U.S. might make in the Arctic, as nations in the region compete for potentially rich reserves of oil, gas, and minerals buried beneath the sea floor.
…

A U.S. study suggests as much as 25 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas could be hidden beneath the Arctic seabed.

Growing evidence that global warming is shrinking polar ice—opening up resource development and new shipping lanes—has added to the urgency of the claims.

It is simply a well-heeled gambit to buy time for the alleged previously unavailable oil and gas reserves to be accessible.

The Arctic, known better for its polar bears and melting sea ice than its fossil fuels, may soon become a hot spot for oil—spurring an international rush to stake claims on the seafloor.

The Arctic Ocean’s seabed may hold billions of gallons of oil and natural gas—up to 25 percent of the world’s undiscovered reserves, according to U.S. Geological Survey estimates—leading some experts to call the region the next Saudi Arabia.

That’s enticing enough for countries bordering the Arctic to begin vying for the resources that might lie beneath the ice.

These oil corporations are fiddling with the science while the Arctic burns…

Isn’t it ironic that News Corp is among the businesses that are for cap-and-trade, yet Fox Noise rallies against Global Warming and cap-and-trade and how it will hurt business.

Cold Fusion Is Hot Again
60 Minutes: Once Considered Junk Science, Cold Fusion Gets A Second Look By Researchers

Some may claim Cold Fusion not viable due to the need of the rare metal palladium. But this 1993 news segment with Dr Eugene Mallove talks of using nickel, a much cheaper metal.

See the *Suppression by Murder* section in the following article for information on Dr Eugene Mallove:

The 9/11 Truth Movement, Free Energy Suppression, and the Global Elite’s Agenda

They’re like a reverse weather vane. Worst lobbyists ever. Always in favor of the wrong people.

from an overarching News Corp perspective, this is not simply about profitability:

I’ll lay it out thee- I work for News Corp, and part of my job relates to being environmentally friendly. I’ve spent 6 weeks evaluating trash bags in an effort to find the most compostable product. It is terribly dull, but our company feels it is important, and so I do it. We offer financial incentives for buying hybrid vehicles and encourage flex schedules, which cuts down on pollution. We absolutely take pride in our Global Energy Initiative.

I don’t like everything that our company does, but neither should an MSNBC employee be proud of GE’s involvement with the defense industry. It’s stupid for talk show hosts on both sides to talk about corporate stock prices and profits as though these are political talking points. They aren’t. We are not a vehicle for right wing politics. We are a vehicle for profits. Fox News found a niche market that caters to an under served constituency. That’s the nature of corporate capitalism. I don’t agree with it, but I’d sure as hell like to see a group like CAP acknowledge that this isn’t a black and white/ good versus evil issue. The right Wing scream Machine fails because it believes everyone is wearing a black hat or a white hat. Progressives have succeeded by acknowledging shades of grey. We have come to power because we have been effective in expressing nuance.

Last week, Barney Frank was on real time talking about kicking the moderates out of the Democratic party, which is a terrible idea. Everyone and every idea is not a good versus evil idea. News Corp is not terrible. GE is not great, despite the Hannity/ Maddow mouth pieces. I would love to see Think Progress acknowledge that.

Xisithrus, my point is that Fox News =/= equal News Corp total

Exxxactly, now how long till FAUX watchers realize the pundits are giving them the views they want is the question
