Tonight's Editor's Choice is a two-fer: by Heather TaylorMiesle NRDC Action Fund and is called Silver Linings and Other Takeaways from the Election
and Good News About Energy in Boulder!
The reason I picked these two diaries is I have not reviewed much of the election coverage yet, as I live outside the country, and am glad to see that there seem to be some silver linings in the outcome of yesterday's elections. Also I am interested in clean energy in general and climate change.
Heather says:
If voters thought clean energy hurt the economy, we wouldn’t have won.
She is referring to the number of races where a factor was the clean energy economy issue and I am glad that there seems to be a bit of progress in this realm.
Climatic and geologic changes: Apocalypse now?
Not a statement but a question, a doubt, a question without a trace of spiritualism or conspiracy.
For centuries, thousands of years, humanity hears the prophecies of seers, gurus, religious, spiritual, sacred and profane writings on dates and predictions of a Divine Revelation.
There are thousands of letters written about the Armageddon Divine, the most famous being the writings of John in the Book of Revelation, including the New Testament.

Important information to be considered is that all records of Earth's geological past, during which a successive chain of events similar to those we are witnessing, was a harbinger of other geological and climatic events even higher in the sequence, promoting changes and subsequent changes of great magnitude.
Could organic food do what ritalin can't?
Two new studies add more documentation to the weight of literature showing the great health benefits of organic food. One study showed the superiority, in all ways, of organic strawberries over their conventionally raised counterparts. The second study showed that the pesticide residues in children (most of which come from our fruits and vegetables) are certainly associated with ADHD.
First, let’s talk about strawberries...
