The quote from this piece that gets to me is:

"It demonstrates that the Earth is not independent of its cosmic environment"

Well, duh!

This article caught my attention because of the title. I've always been under the impression that all of the complex atoms that are the basic building blocks for, well, just about everything, including us, was formed in stellar explosions, either novas or super novas. In that case the title is pretty dumb as everything we've ever encountered is basically supernova debris.

On reading the article I thought a bit more about things like global warming. How many billion other variables haven't these clowns taken into account?

Then I was reminded of this thread:

After a Trio of Explosions Scientists say Supernova is Imminent

(http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1237727/posts)

I think the moral of these articles is duck and cover!

The Earth Sun you me everything IS Supernova debris.

Gunther Korschinek, a physicist from the Technical University of Munich in Germany, leads a team who in 1999 found the first deposits of supernova matter on Earth1.

I knew it! If there's an Earth1, there must be an Earth2. When the politicians are done destroying this one, they'll just fly to the other one, and leave us to deal with the mess they've created. ; )
