You be the Judge, Please vote (No registration required just click your choice) whether Obama was snubbed by Russian Leaders or just simply giving Introduction.

Speaking just a week before Earth Hour rolls out across thousands of towns and cities across the globe, Ban underlined the seriousness of climate change and the need for a global climate deal to be agreed when the world's leaders meet in Copenhagen this coming December. “People will be telling their representatives to seal a deal in Copenhagen. A deal at the climate change talks that will protect people and the planet. We need an ambitious agreement. An agreement that is fair and effective. An agreement based on sound science.”

Lord Stern, IG Patel Professor of Economics and Government "Earth hour is important because the people of the world are the people who will put pressure on their own governments, government by government.
I never realized that a wet dishtowel can be a one-size-fits-all lid to cover a fire in a pan! This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal with a common kitchen fire ... oil in a frying pan.
Read the following introduction, then watch the video ... it's a real eye-opener!!
At the Fire Fighting Training School they would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10 foot pole toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students. The water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room. Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite!
This is a powerful message----watch the video and don't forget what you see. Tell your whole family about this video, or better yet, send this to them.
