Green rush

Schwarzenegger says fight against global warming could be the 'new gold rush'

By Scott Simpson, Doug Ward and Catherine Rolfsen, Vancouver Sun

Published: Thursday, May 31, 2007

California determination to slash greenhouse gas emissions is touching off a "new gold rush" worth tens of billions of dollars for companies taking a stake in the booming green energy sector, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said today at an economic summit in Vancouver.

Schwarzenegger said his state, which has a larger economy than all but six of the world's national governments, is eager to strike relationships with businesses that can help California meet tough new emission standards adopted last year.

I listen to CKNW News Talk 980 when I wake up and they have a lot of interesting politic talks and today's was about the Global Warming. I hear that there aren't any silent evidences to show that the global warming is caused by man-made emissions and many people do not agree with this whole idea. People just tied the whole thing by not yet proving scientifically but with statistics and trends connecting the global warming to man-made emissions. I do tend to believe that we are partly or perhaps entirely responsible to this warming. I do not understand why people are so ignorant acting that since we don't have enough evidence to show this, they just disregard the whole concept that we may be responsible. I guess what governor Arnold S. is doing is so beneficial to so many things even the science proves that global warming is not caused by man-made emissions. It is simply better. And I also believes the change is due to the universe or earth aging. Nothing is unchangeable except God himself. Sometimes, I like politics. CKNW News Talk 980 rock!

I should someday watch An Inconvenient Truth. I want to get this IMAX Deep Sea DVD. It was one of top movies I enjoyed.

Enjoy your summer people. The weather is so nice!!!

Note: Haven't shaved for 2 days and enjoy. ^^
The first picture looks like I'm Milhouse from the Simpson. keke~~

I must include best hamburger place in town according to some food critics:

Vera's Burger Shack

&

Fat Burger

I haven't tried any good burger places in Vancouver but I must. Hamburger is one of my favourite food!

Also, StarCraft 2 has been revealed and it looks very similar to the first one (well, what can you expect, the first one was a legend, can't change too much of a great game) but they enhanced sound and graphic, also some new weapons/vehicle/character. Please go to youtube or ign.com for awesome videos and images.

Recently, I bought Star Wars Battlefront II, and it's so hard. :(
Can't beat the Jedi with clones. Must try again...

Have a nice Victoria Day!

10 Reasons Why I Am Thankful for the God-Breathed Bible

---

By John Piper November 20, 2006

---

1. The Bible awakens faith, the source of all obedience.

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. (Romans 10:17)

2. The Bible frees from sin.

You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. (John 8:32)

3. The Bible frees from Satan.

The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. (2 Timothy 2:24-26)

4. The Bible sanctifies.

Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. (John 17:17)

5. The Bible frees from corruption and empowers godliness.

His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. (2 Peter 1:3-4)

6. The Bible serves love.

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment. (Philippians 1:9)

But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. (1 Timothy 1:5)

7. The Bible saves.

Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you. (1 Timothy 4:16)

Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God. (Acts 20:26)

[They will] perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. (2 Thessalonians 2:10)

8. The Bible gives joy.

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. (John 15:11)

9. The Bible reveals the Lord.

And the Lord appeared again at Shiloh, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of the Lord. (1 Samuel 3:21)

10. Therefore, the Bible is the foundation of my happy home and life and ministry and hope of eternity with God.
