Failure in Copenhagen on global warming

I was at first disappointed that the meeting on global warming in Copenhagen did not produce any tangible results. Possibly, though, it is for the better. The Kyoto agreement did not do much, and I suspect an agreement in Copenhagen would have led to committments that would not be followed.

Instead, the ravenous appetite of China and India for energy as they develop will drive energy prices so high, that there will be very high incentive to develop more energy efficient ways to live.

I am looking forward to ten dollars a gallon gas prices! May seem strange that I like the prospect, but it will be most effective in getting people to stop driving gas guzzlers, and I can certainly afford it myself.

Loss to Alabama

Losing the SEC Championship game in Atlanta on Saturday dashed also the prospect of another national championship. However, with 22 consecutive wins and last year's championship, the UF football team is certainly storied. It is good that they leave room for future team to outshine them at least in one possible target: Winning the SEC championship without a single loss in a season.
