Global warming, where is the beef?
The Dog Ate Global Warming Interpreting climate data can be hard enough. What if some key data have been fiddled? By Patrick J.There's Plenty of Energy at the Bottom (on of those must read articles IMHO)
There's Plenty of Energy at the Bottom By William Tucker On December 29, 1959, on the threshold of the 1960s, Richard Feynman, "the best mind since Einstein" and interpreter of quantum mechanics, gave a lecture at the California Institute of Technology that is generally regarded to be the opening bell of the Information Age.

By Bruce Nilles, Sierra Club Posted on March 17, 2009//www.alternet.org/story/132127/ The news from Greenwire today is excellent and unprecedented -- a leaked Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) document shows that the agency "is fast-tracking its response to the Supreme Court's 2007 climate decision with plans to issue a mid-April finding that global warming threatens both public health and welfare." (Greenwire article is here) This is very big, very historic, very exciting news -- this action by EPA will set the stage for the first-ever national regulation of CO2 in US history.
