U.N. Climate Conference to Open in Canada

Yahoo! News: "Earth's average temperature, meanwhile, has increased about 1 degree Fahrenheit in recent decades, a relatively rapid rise. Many climate specialists warn that continued warming could have severe effects, such as rising sea levels and changing rainfall patterns, variations already devastating ancient communities and wildlife, such as the Inuit [politically correct name for, at least some, Eskimos, I think] and polar bears [the bears have yet to object to a name that may demean them as suffering from bi-polar disorder (psychiatricly correct new name for manic-depressive illness)] of Canada's far northeastern regions.

Skeptics sometimes dismiss the rise in greenhouse gases as part of a naturally fluctuating cycle. The new study provides more definitive evidence countering that view."
