I received an email informing me that the 2nd Annual <a href="http://blogactionday.cmail4.com/l/487919/xtdj4dir/4">Blog Action Day</a> is coming up on Oct. 15th. This year's theme is poverty. I find it surprising that Global Warming was the first thing that bloggers felt a need to take change on and poverty was second. Especially since global warming can't really be helped until poverty is taken care of (a href="http://www.businessandmedia.org/printer/2008/20080711182959.aspx">source</a>). You would think that it would be in reverse order, unless people are just blogging to blog and not really looking for real solutions. Just a thought.

On the flip side, for counter-argument, I might add that according to the <a href="http://www.gapminder.org">Gapminder</a> graph, the higher the income per person in a nation, the higher CO2 emissions per person that nation experiences.
