Weather, Water, Energy 12-15-06

Lots of good stuff at Scientific American online, including this piece on drilling ice cores in Antarctica to track climate change in ancient times, this one on 2006 being the sixth warmest year on record, and this really important one on oceans rising 4 and a half feet by 2010, faster than previously protected. But we'll be dead by 2100 so no big deal. . . . At least Russia will be tropical by then. Too bad for traditional businesses, but they've always been known for being flexible . . . wait. . . . Uh-oh.
