Brave fire fighters - 20 dead
The horrific wildfires in southern California have already forced an estimated 500,000 people from their homes. More than 1,600 homes and buildings

have been destroyed by the wind whipped flames. Brave fire fighters valiantly battle the blaze against long odds to reduce the threat to relatively unscarred places. These fires, which range from northern Los Angeles County to the Mexican border, have produced so much smoke that they are visible in satellite pictures hundreds of miles from Earth. They are a terrible human tragedy.

Global Warming Wrecks All the Fun

Say Goodbye to French Wines
Wacky temperatures and rain cycles brought on by global warming are threatening something very important: Wine. Scientists believe global warming will “shift viticultural regions toward the poles, cooler coastal zones and higher elevations.” What that means in regular language: Get ready to say bye-bye to French Bordeaux and hello to British champagne.

Federal Judge Orders Production of Suppressed Scientific Reports on Global Warming Impacts

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Bush administration was rebuked today by a Federal judge for suppressing scientific reports on the impacts of global warming on the United States. In response to a lawsuit brought last year by conservation organizations, Federal District Court Judge Saundra Armstrong issued an order finding the Bush administration in violation of the Global Change Research Act of 1990 for failing to produce an updated Research Plan and a National Assessment as required by the statute.

TRANSCRIPT
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at Giants Stadium Live Earth 7 July, 2007

Now we've all heard the oil industry and the coal industry and their indentured servants in the political process telling us that global climate stability is a luxury that we can't afford.

And that is a false choice.

With 100 acts in eight cities projected to reach an estimated 2 billion people via television, radio and the Internet, it's easily the planet's biggest show to date and history's most ambitious benefit event, eclipsing 1985's Live Aid and 2005's Live 8.

Marine scientists in Canada and abroad are puzzled by bizarre photographs that appear to show the skeleton of a large mammal jutting out of an iceberg that recently drifted past Newfoundland's east coast.

The six pictures show what looks like a brown rib cage and spinal column, slightly bent, sticking out of a crust of ice.
