In honor of Earth Day, I spent my workout walking on my homemade treadmill workstation while reading Al Gore's book 'Our Choice'. You can tell he wants to broaden his audience because it's full of pictures; you can have the attention span of a fruit fly and still enjoy it.

Global warming is really too huge to think about sometimes. I can see how easy it'd be to be a global warming denier. I think most people want the future to be better for their kids than for them, or at least the same. The thought that it might be worse, maybe much worse, is just too big to deal with.

What would I say if I had a roomful of global warming deniers? Maybe something like this.

UPDATE: There's a Senate hearing today on the pet food recall (see lulu57's comment below). I'm seeing how many senators I can email before I need to leave for work. Thanks to everyone for your support!

Thanks to SusanHu's excellent diary from Tuesday, we know that Mark Weins, Menu Foods' Chief Financial Officer, sold half of his company stock on February 26 and 27, about three weeks before the pet food recall was announced. Sure sounds suspicious, right?

But both recent stories quote the company spokesman, Sam Bornstein, as saying it was all just "a horrible coincidence." Let's see if we believe that....
