Is climate change getting to your head?

apparently for some, it is.

"Last year, an anxious, depressed 17-year-old boy was admitted to the psychiatric unit at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne. He was refusing to drink water. Worried about drought related to climate change, the young man was convinced that if he drank, millions of people would die. The Australian doctors wrote the case up as the first known instance of 'climate change delusion.'"

This is more extreme than the idea of climate change damaging polar bear's hearing through the sounds of melting ice.

what more will climate change bring?

Akulliq by-election woes

i've been keeping away from blogging as I don't have a "full-time" computer.

I suppose that's why i'm about to cover some old news...

i feel for the riding of Akulliq in Nunavut. They have suffered a pretty long election that just seems to never end.

Meanwhile, Tagak Curley was recently inducted in the Nunavut Government Cabinet. Congrats to him - he finally decided to accept that he will likely never get voted in as Premier and this was probably his last chance in being a top decision-maker.

That means the Akulliq Member will not have a stab at taking on responsibilities in the Executive Council. How's that for democracy! After residents in the Akulliq riding go the polls once gain on March 2 it will be the time to say "bye bye elections!"
