Ul,

Fortunately, the NASA guy has balls and is complaining loudly - and the media is carrying the story front and center.

Wonder if it will make a difference? After all, they don't want to admit to global warming, because the implications would be expensive for corporate owners. Thus decreasing the profits into their pockets.

Lord knows the Bush admin will do nothing at all if big business is a key player.

Will go click now. Then I will dress for the ball.

Going to sneak in a little education before the ball.

"ECOLOGY/EVOLUTION: Eggs on the Rise
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Andrew
M. Sugden

A bird's clutch size--the quantity of eggs laid during a nesting
period--is
a central feature of a bird's life history, but has presented an
evolutionary conundrum. Although studies of bird species have predicted
the
existence of positive selection for increasing clutch size over time,
such
increases have failed to materialize during long-term observation,
perhaps
because of constraints imposed by correlated environmental factors that
also affect fitness.

In a 25-year study of mute swans, Charmantier et al. observed not only
the
expected directional selection for increasing clutch size, but also an
actual increase, of 0.35 standard deviations, across the population.
Reduced predation and increased food supply over the course of the
study
may have fostered the increase. Because the authors kept track of the
pedigrees of all of the individuals in the study, they garnered strong
evidence that these changes were genetic rather than phenotypic, and
hence
that a clear microevolutionary change took place over the course of a
quarter century. -- AMS"

"Glacier Melt Could Signal Faster Rise in Ocean Levels

By Shankar Vedantam
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, February 17, 2006; Page A01

Greenland's glaciers are melting into the sea twice as fast as previously believed, the result of a warming trend that renders obsolete predictions of how quickly Earth's oceans will rise over the next century, scientists said yesterday.

The new data come from satellite imagery and give fresh urgency to worries about the role of human activity in global warming. The Greenland data are mirrored by findings from Bolivia to the Himalayas, scientists said, noting that rising sea levels threaten widespread flooding and severe storm damage in low-lying areas worldwide."

Here is a different view:

Reality takes wing over bird flu

VIEWPOINT
Leon Bennun


Vested interests mean wild birds are being blamed for the spread of avian flu, argues Dr Leon Bennun in this week's Green Room, whereas responsibility really lies with modern farming. Demands for culling and the destruction of nesting sites threaten, he says, to bring rare species to extinction, but will do nothing to halt the disease.

The role of migratory wild birds in the transmission of the disease has been exaggerated and sensationalised
