We're on the edge alright.

Would someone please shut ths guy up? Click Title to view his blather.

Last Summer, I read that Russian and British scientists had discovered Siberian tundra is melting at alarming rates, creating lakes of what used to be permafrost. That means methane is being released straight into the atmosphere. The greenhouse effects of this will alter our future. Last week, a department head at NASA announced Greenland's ice sheet is melting twice as fast as it was five years ago. Oceans are a-gonna rise, dramatically. The NASA guy, Jim Hansen, cited the culprit in both situations: carbon dioxide emissions (btw, methane is carbon dioxide times thirty). I think he was being generous in giving us a decade to curb them.

Neither of these stories can be found in American media. Hmmm ...

On a personal note, I've been praying for a car-less society a long time now. Looks like I'm going to get my wish, minus a society.
