Yeah, I know the warming trend is bad for some, now, but when considering the big picture over the course of many years, is a warmer Earth bad? This ...
Antarctic Sea Ice is Growing Thanks to Ozone Layer
I was confused before. I am even more confused now. Researchers are saying that Antarctic sea ice is growing rather than melting thanks to the hole in the ozone layer. And here we thought the hole was going to let too much heat in.

Doom and Gloom Predicted for Northeast United States
More doom and gloom is predicted for the northeast portion of the United States. New York City, Boston and other coastal cities are expected to get eight inches more than a possible 2-3 feet sea rise by 2100.

Snowmen, um, Snowwomen, um, Snow People Protest Global Warming in Helsinki
I admit, I wouldn't know a snowman from a snowwoman unless s/he pulled up his/her skirt and showed me his carrot in a very strategic place.

But, for what it's ...
