April 22nd and an Odd Coincidence

April 22nd is Earth Day:

And Vladimir Lenin’s birthday:

They lived in western Europe after 1900. At the 1903 meeting in London of the Russian Social-Democratic Workers’ Party, he emerged as the leader of the Bolshevik faction. In several revolutionary newspapers that he founded and edited, he put forth his theory of the party as the vanguard of the proletariat, a centralized body organized around a core of professional revolutionaries; his ideas, later known as Leninism, would be joined with Karl Marx‘s theories to form Marxism-Leninism, which became the communist worldview.

It an “odd” coincidence…

A Titanic Earth Day Tale

****a post I rescued from the great Google cache *****

It’s a cool April evening on the RMS Titanic you strike a pose just like Kate or the little guy. The Atlantic air is refreshing.  Life couldn’t get better. Unfortunately, later that that night, on April 14th, 1912, the ship enters an ice field in the North Atlantic. When the ship reaches its last known coordinates of 41° 44′N 50° 24’W, the Titanic strikes an iceberg and tragically sinks.

Nearly one hundred years later, on April 14th, 2009 you decided to retrace the rout of the doomed ocean liner. You sail to the Titanic’s last known coordinates. Even with all the climate ‘change’ you discover an ice field, similar to what sank the Titanic back in 1912.

Lately, ‘climate change’ or ‘global warming people’ are pointing to the ‘polar ice shelf collapsing’ as proof positive that the earth is warming. Don’t question them on it. As far as they’re concerned, this is a closed issue.

If the earth is warmer today, wouldn’t the polar ice caps be smaller? This would cause the ice fields of today to be less extensive and in a different location than in 1912? However, we have data showing that the ice fields are in the same location today as they were in 1912.

The fact is, ice in the Arctic region melt and freeze all the time, just ask Admiral Parry about the subject.
