Quick hits after a long, long day:
- Grist has some good posts up, including this takedown of Rep. John Dingell (D-General Motors) who will do as much to delay and stall progress on carbon emissions as anything Bush could dream of and this note that, if the rest of the world were to work the same long hours as Americans, global warming will get even worse. Not to mention if they consume what we do. We make our moms so proud.
- Turns out that the tides play a bigger role in the speed of the Antarctic ice melt than scientists had realized, leaving new modeling to be done.
- Big Media finally covering the warm European winter and its implications, including another "bears won't sleep in the woods" this winter story, this time in Spain (with some other weather weirdness listed as well).
- Maybe this overview of the problem and the need for solid, reliable research are the reason.
- Or maybe it's the possibility of growing palm trees where they've rarely grown before. When they get to Canada, will even Inhofe believe? . . . nahhhh.
