Florida backs out of water truce
November 9th, 2007

Facing criticism from local leaders, environmentalists and the fishing industry, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist is now in opposition of the plan to cut the water flow from Lake Lanier. He cites irreversible damage to Florida’s environment and fisheries.

He had no problem with the plan last week, but has since changed his mind due to the criticism he has received.

plus the Gov. of Ga. holding a prayer service to ask for rain is pissing people off


Group to protest Sonny’s prayer for rain
November 10th, 2007

The Atlanta Freethought Society plans to protest Tuesday’s upcoming prayer service. I’m not surprised that this is happening, as it clearly seems to be something that the government doesn’t need to be leading. The prayer service might help in a few ways (helping people better see their own wasteful ways, or maybe getting some help from above), but it’s not really something the government should be leading.

The speculation that they planned the event on the day prior to our next possible rain seems to be irrelevant now, as all of next week looks to be dry. Weather.com is now showing our next chance of rain on Sunday, November 18, while Accuweather.com doesn’t forecast rain until two weeks from today (Saturday, November 24).

watching the crumbling of Atlanta
seems like no one is thinking of the people living in Atlanta and burbs.

...I heard nothing about it here in Florida, but I did post something a few days ago about Georgia having the power to inflict an ecological disaster on the entire state of Florida if they in fact decided to divert the natural flow of the aquifer system. Now I am seeing in your post that the Governor of Florida had given his blessing last week to just that.
