El Niño is not a recent development, at least in Latin America ,New research posits an ancient desert wall in northern Peru was built to protect precious farmlands and canals from the ravages of El nino floods

“These phases are now known as  El Niño — Spanish for "The Boy," a reference to the child Jesus — because they bring heavy rain to the region around Christmastime every few years. “

Earth Day is a misnomer. 

It used to be known as Earth Day. The United Nations has gone a step further and re-named it The International Mother Earth Day.

The 
green ideology behind this move could hardly have been more obvious.

Some would even say that
 the mushroom is our brother.

Some others want to give 
apes and rivers the same rights we have.

The post-Christian world wants its share of holy days, such as 
Darwin Day and Earth Day.
