Nothing
Virtual About Global Warming (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
The overwhelming scientific
consensus is that global warming is real, it's
serious, it's caused mostly by humans and it is
to some extent correctable. But due to the intransigence
of the Bush administration and comrades, virtually
nothing has been done to correct it. |

U.N.
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.

Hunters: Arctic Climate Change Is Human Rights
Abuse (Reuters)
In
recent years, some hunters have drowned by falling
through thinning ice, while thawing permafrost
is destabilizing buildings and triggering mudslides.
U.N. studies say the Arctic Ocean may be largely
ice-free in summer by 2100. "These are issues
of life and death," Watt-Cloutier said. "We
go out to hunt on the sea ice to put food on the
table. You go to the supermarket." |

The

We knew that summer 2003

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. |

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.
