BRAZILIAN HEART + Free Concerts

BRAZILIAN HEART
August 2008
Since 1998

This July I met a geophysicist in Anderson’s Conn Valley (Napa Valley) who said Al Gore’s Global Warming idea was not based in accurate facts. I tried to argue with him, but everything I got back was this sweet comment: “You’re a very emotional person (me? Hahahaha) and you need to research the facts.” OK. Here is something I found revolutionary and it is based in facts. See if you agree with me. Check it out and pinch yourself. This can be the solution for the oil crisis! (I feel like everyone has a solution for it these days. What’s yours?)
