"I think it's a great team," said Daniel A. Lashof, director of the Climate Center at the Natural Resources Defense Council. "On policy, it's a dramatic contrast based on what I know about the policy direction that all these folks will be bringing to these positions." Browner, Two Others to Get Climate Posts The fact that they are being called "climate posts" should thrill those on the (insert whatever the acceptable "denier" term is) side.

"Carbon dioxide found on planet orbiting star" Kenneth Chang, NY Times Planet HD 189733b Must be cars and trucks and human endeavor, but how did we launch it 63 LIGHT YEARS away? (Lets see 186,000 miles per second x 60 seconds= 1 hour x 24 hours= 1 day x 365 days x 63 years) link title So if we could get C02 down to Planet HD 189733b levels from our earth levels. Life as WE know it on earth would be like life on planet HD 189733b : in a word, UNSUSTAINABLE. Go free radicals !!! |

They must not have gotten the memo that we have a global warming problem. I bet Al Gore will be down there selling snow shovels as "Global Warming Removal Systems"
