Polar Warming Shows 'Clear Human Fingerprint'

An international research team reported last week that, for the first

time, they have found evidence that a rise in polar temperatures is

attributable to human activities. Their study involved analysis of

temperature variations at both poles. Meanwhile, a satellite survey

found that the thickness of Arctic ice has undergone an abrupt

decline.

 

Some scientists are worried that the greenhouse gases methane and

nitrogen trifluoride, which are on the rise, may figure into our

climate future more than anyone has considered.

 

And researchers are using naturalist Henry David Thoreau's notes to

ascertain patterns of plant abundance and decline in New England, with

the hope of deciphering what it might tell us about changing climate.

 

In other environmental news, a new study found that atrazine, a widely

used agricultural weed-killer, increases the likelihood that flatworms

will thrive in frog ponds and also inhibits the ability of larval

frogs to fight infection with these parasites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For in a Republic, who is “the country� Is it the Government which is for

the moment in the saddle? Why, the Government is merely a servant—merely a

temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and

what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to

obey orders, not originate them.

Mark Twain
