President Bush conceded Wednesday that global warming is a real environmental problem and that human-caused pollution worsens it. “Listen, I recognize the surface of the Earth is warmer,” Bush told reporters in Denmark, “and that an increase in greenhouse gases caused by humans is contributing to the problem.”
Finally, in the hours before the G-8 summit, [...]

The Govinator, Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger, has said that global warming exists and something needs to be done about it! He also said he is going to convert his fleet of Hummers into Biodiesel. He didn?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t go that far but it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s a start.

Global warming and the oceans
Here’s a good one that talks about how the oceans are responding to industrial and auto pollution. Acid Buildup in Oceans Threatens Food Chain
Highlights include:

Ala CNN. Here are some of the highlights…
Lord May, president of Britain’s Royal Society, said in releasing the statement that U.S. President George W. Bush’s policy on climate change was “misguided” and ignored scientific evidence.
The statement called on the G-8 nations to “recognize that delayed action will increase the risk of adverse environmental effects and [...]

It’s really amazing as to what comes and goes on Yahoo. They will post stories on Michael Jackson and a woman who ran away to Vegas because she got cold feet, but articles like the below will disappear faster than you can say, “where’d the rainforest go?”
Many scientists fear rising temperatures, blamed mainly on heat-trapping [...]

Meteorologists in Tampa, Florida announced, “…conditions in the Atlantic again were ripe for spawning tropical storms that could slam into Florida or other parts of the Eastern U.S. or Gulf Coast with potentially devastating and deadly consequences.”
Now is it me, or has extreme weather worsened in the past 10 or 15 years? Or has technology [...]
