Global Warming Twenty Years Later: Tipping Points Near
"We're toast if we don't get on a very different path," Hansen, director of the Goddard Institute of Space Sciences who is sometimes called the godfather of global warming science, told The Associated Press. "This is the last chance." Dr. James Hansen summarizes the past 20 years. What the relevant scientific community is confident in, what conclusions can be drawn, and where confusion still exists. Editors Note: Only the science matters. Those that say there is no consensus in the relevant scientific community, do not know the definition of the word 'consensus'.
Target Co2: 350ppm
The numbers being discussed for target atmospheric Co2 are between 450 and 550 ppm (parts per million). We are currently at 385ppm Co2. The "Target Atmospheric Co2" paper clearly shows based on the evidence that everything is going faster than expected regarding global warming and its effects. Interpreted, that also means that humankind needs to reconsider it's action plan regarding our relationship with the global climate.

The Plame Game
When American patriots are attacked by our own government, by an administration led by a president that promised to take "appropriate action" with anyone affiliated with the outing of a CIA agent (Valerie Plame Wilson); when truth is bent or broken to maintain a charade for an agenda that is veiled to conceal its intent and motive from the very people that government is meant to protect; when lies are used to serve agendas that are wrapped in motives counter to the very fabric of our constitution and its intent to protect its people from dictators and tyrants; when that government shows such callousness as to betray those that serve its glory through their patriotism; what is left to the people but the tattered ideas of the founding fathers and the dreams of freedom won through independence traded for profit, power and control of those that believe, in their own mind, they can think for the rest of us without consideration of common sense; without congress; or without caring of consequence, and at the cost of the very national security that president and his administration, is sworn to protect; what is a reasonable society to do?

EDITORIAL - Asleep at the Wheel
Who is asleep at the wheel? Who voted for President Bush, and why? Did we just buy the spin; or were we actually deceived. Is there a difference? No. Why the low job approval rating? Is it because he's doing a tough job that no one likes; or is he doing something wrong? These are not just questions for the White House, these are questions for America.

NASA: Arctic Ice Melting Faster
On May 15, 2007 NASA reported that arctic replenished very little thick sea ice in 2005 - A new NASA study has found that in 2005 the Arctic replaced very little of the thick sea ice it normally loses and replenishes each year. Replenishment of this thick, perennial sea ice each year is essential to the maintenance and stability of the Arctic summer ice cover. The findings complement a NASA study released in fall 2006 that found a 14-percent drop in this perennial ice between 2004 and 2005. The lack of replenishment suggests that the decline may continue in the near future.
