British
Plan Major 'Wind Farm' to Generate Power Along
Coasts (New York Times)
Energy
companies plan to erect more than 1,000 turbines
off England's coast in a $12.4 billion project
to build the largest source of wind energy. The
wind farms, which received preliminary approval
on Thursday, would generate as much as seven gigawatts
of electricity - enough to supply four million
households, or to meet 7 percent of Britain's
energy needs. Britain has pledged that 10 percent
of its energy will come from renewable resources
by 2010. |

Reports Warming Effects on Ski Areas (Associated
Press)
The magic number for
ski resorts right now is an altitude of 4,265
feet, according to Rolf Buerk, an economic geographer
at the University of Zurich who led the research
behind the report. At that level and above, there
is reliable snowfall. In the future, however,
global warming is going to push the regular snowfall
altitude to between 4,900 feet and 6,000 feet,
Buerk said.

We knew that summer 2003

high temperature and continental Europe saw forest
fires raging out of control, great rivers drying
to a trickle and thousands of heat-related deaths.
But just how remarkable is only now becoming clear. |

Scientists
Say Glaciers Are Melting at Alarming Rate (ABC
News)
Predictions
are that within 30 years, almost all the glaciers
will be gone from Glacier.
Park records reveal there were about 150 glaciers
100 years ago. "We estimate there's about
26 ice bodies that still qualify as glaciers,"
said Dan Fagre, who headed the project for the
USGS. ... Some 7,000 years after glaciers scoured
the mountains and sculpted the landscape here,
they have all but disappeared. And it is happening
in our lifetime.

IT'S TOO LATE for Tuvalu,
a small island nation in the Pacific. Ten thousand
people, Tuvalu's entire population, are packing

atolls are being swallowed by the rising sea.
These are the facts of life: the earth is warming,
the sea levels are rising, and Tuvalu is quietly
