Hi folks,

Those who are interested in environmental and climate change issues  
may be interested in my recent (published yesterday) article for  
Rabble.ca, Thermometer rising: Ice, methane and climate change (Nova  
Scotians will doubtless recognize the allusion to Hugh MacLennan. ;~>):

	Thermometer rising: Ice, methane and climate change
	http://rabble.ca/blogs/bloggers/christophermajka/2012/05/thermometer-rising-ice-methane-and-climate-change

Are dire warnings of climate change warranted? Declining arctic sea  
ice and increasing methane emissions indicate they are. While  
civilization nears a precipice, political leaders are speeding up the  
pace at which we are racing towards the cliff. In this article I  
examine recent data on diminishing arctic sea ice and increasing  
levels of methane emissions to develop a better understanding of  
what's in store for the world in the event that we fail to grapple  
with this serious issue.

Best wishes,

Chris
