UN GLOBAL WARMING REPORT

There has been much publicity given to the recent UN report on global warming which stated that there is a 90% chance that the climate change we are beginning to experience has been caused by human activity, not normal earth environmental cycles. This morning's Christian Science Monitor contains a very interesting article featuring clips of statements made around the world regarding the UN report. It includes comments by governmental officials, environmental activists, even oil company executives. (Some are beginning to cut ties with organizations who have been refuting human responsibility for climate change) It's worth a read at http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0208/p25s01-sten.html?s=hns

The photo on this post illustrates the growing plight of polar bears in the arctic region. They are running out of a place to call home. My wife and I are planning a trip in conjunction with a few friends to visit Churchill in Canada this October to view polar bears while they are still there to view. This is a very rapidly declining species.
