No Polar Caps?
27/06/08 18:57
Scientists claim that there is better than a 50-50 chance, that the North Polar Cap will melt completely over the course of the summer. Their prediction is based on the amount of “first year” ice that currently exists at the pole. There was extensive melting last year and much of the ice that now exists, was only formed last year. The normal ice pack is built up over several seasons. According to the scientists, satellite data already shows that the existing ice is melting at a rate above that of last year. The fact that much of the ice has not had several seasons to accumulate and thicken, along with warmer than normal temperatures, leads them to their conclusion. Read the story here.

What Next?

California has become the second state in the Union to legalize same sex marriage. The real danger with what is happening in California, is that gay couples do not have to be residents of the state in order to be married there. They can be married in California and then go back to their states of residence and challenge whatever laws are in place, in order to force their marriage to be legally recognized in that state. When that happens, a legal precedent will have been set within each and every state where they are sucessful in having their marriage recognized.
