Are you certain I can't be offended?

Still, I suppose I at least seem to have a use as some sort of benchmark.

Okay Snoopy, where are you hiding ? I'm halfway through the Ballard stories and I must say that he's a bit of a "downer". However his writing style and content is superb.

He's so good that it kind of makes me wish that there was going to be a doomsday coming. But then he wrote this stuff in times where dismal outcomes were believed more often than not.

Okay, back to the business at hand. I'm sure that Ballard, if he's still around, would revel in news articles such as this. Hey, maybe he's even writing them these days.

Stay well my friend.

Okay Snoopy. If you choose to hide from the truth, that's okay by me.
Here's a NY Times editorial which lists "must dos" in accordance with what has been revealed by scientists.

I have noted, however, that many conservatives ( including our fearless USA President ) are still dragging both feet and are in denial *I'm not talking about wading in an Egyptian River here either *. Of course they may also be reading and believing the fictions in Michael Crichton novels, (His publisher Harper-Collins is owned by Rupert ).

Not many people know that W owns a totally "off-the-grid" residence at his Texas ranch. Kind of makes you wonder where all of this is headed, huh?

This makes a lot of sense in terms of what to do to be able to help our oceans remain viable, which likely means it won't be done.

Since the United States is spending this much EVERY DAY to continue a useless war in Iraq, it seems to be a very small amount to pay in order to help out the oceans of the planet which benefit every living thing on the Earth. Or have I missed something in my logic here ?

I wonder if they will be able to improve the reaction times and judgements of basketball referees with this work ?

Hi...For a long time now we've been told by people "in the know" that we could make huge changes in our capacity to ruin our environment by making relatively small changes in our energy consumption habits and through our technology acquisition strategies. Here's some proof.

I hope that the representatives attending the Global Warming meeting in Bali this week read this one.

This sounds hopeful. Anything would be better than burning up our grain stores.

Some sceptics of climate change have cited the stability of Antarctic ice sheets as proof that Global Warming is a myth and that its just a blip we are observing elsewhere. This 10 year survey of the Antarctic shows that there is rapid melting taking place, and as the article states could spell changes in mean global sea level of meters rather than inches as currently predicted. De mal, en pis, en pis ... as one might say in French.

Globally warming the seas are rising, methane escaping!!

Hate to spoil the fun but the next ice age is coming, NOW!!

um, er, just thought you might want to know, the sky is falling.

Lol, There is so much nonsense spoken that we find it hard to believe anything these days. The 2nd article fails to mention that the Arctic recorded by far its lowest ice cover last summer, or more huge ice sheets detached from Antarctica, or that the glaciers of Greenland, the Himalayas, the alps, the rockies and the andes all continued to retreat faster than ever. That second article nails its colours firmly to the mast in the final line, a quote of Oliver Cromwell. A man who believed in butchering everyone who did not share his opinion. The right wing may have lost the last election in Australia but it has not begun to rethink its rhetoric.
