Asphalt Poisoning, Cell Phone Microwave Brain Frying; Arctic Permafrost Melting Next?

Scientists are researching poisoning of ancient Americans that paved their localities with bitumen-an asphalt like substance that may have poisoned them.

Americans use a lot of toxic substances and blow it off-fundamentally because they are stupid and don't really give a hoot about those non-immediate problems. Maybe humanity is more wired to respond to immediate threats and actual injuries much faster than invisible empire threats like cell phones, toxic asphalt highways, air pollutants, ground water contamination, global warming and so forth. Perhaps that's why the nation spends 4 trillion dollars more or less to track down the box cutter hijacker-crashers-a disproportionate response that may beditto'd in the trust in Wall Street gadgets and frauds that are too abstract to consider dangers.

Americans are over-specialized and collectively stupid perhaps, and that may be hazardous to our health. What if a generation cooks their challenged brains with cell phones glued to their ears? I was generally too poor to afford a phone and have used them for only aboput 500 hours total. I recall watching raw shrimp cook on the seat of a skiff in some water in a baggy. I believe that the tight microwave beam emitted from cells phones could explain the stupidity of the U.S. Congress and the national debt as well as a host of other idiotic policies. Well, the best reply is denial, so they shall rave about that until its annihilated.

For the rest of this essay I shall put my phone on speaker phone aqnd keep that little brain cooker away from my head! You should do the same-or put some tin foil over your head as you walk around the city streets to keep all those stray microwave beams from frying your circuits. Wait-psychologists have already said that won't work-it makes sparks fly in the microwave oven or something.

A Thought to Consider On What A Thawed Arctic Would Be Like

With global warming increasing and U.S. Government plans to add to it by supporting high Arctic development of ports and other facilities in Northern Alaska and offshore in the Beaufort Sea-optimal locations to emit carbon monoxide and other warm gases to increase anthropogenic climate change- I wonder what the future Arctic coastal environment will be like.

Coastal plains with much permafrost-sometimes frozen year around to one thousand feet or more below the surface-may thaw and melt.

Ice expands when it freezes, so if the permafrost melts the ground may shrink and subside. The question is how much will frozen permafrost subside as it thaws out per ten feet or per one thousand feet?

A rise in sea level added to a subsidence of the ground level above sea level might move the Arctic ocean shore a good distance south onto the coastal plain.
