Solid reporting on an important topic. Factual and well sourced, it points to an alarming trend, which affects us all. I was particularly struck by the case of Glacier National Park, where only 27 glaciers are left (out of 150 a century ago) and 90 percent of the ice volume is gone, with the remainder expected to melt in the next 25 years. Faced with that disturbing evidence, immediate action to counteract global warming seems more urgent than ever. Excellent article.

Excellent journalism. Although Bush is now talking up a storm about global warming, the fact is that he's still doing absolutely nothing about it--except pandering to special interests who think global warming is bad for business. On my latest visit to Alaska, Bush's pseudo science view of global warming fell on angry ears as they watch glaciers melt at the rate of several feet a year. Gondolas on Fifth Avenue, anyone?

It reads like a Global Warming "hit piece", anecdotes without science. Here is a clue... "..many scientists think we still have time to stop short of it, by sharply cutting back consumption of climate-warming coal, oil, and gas". There is no balance, no effort to question whether this is a weather cycle, just the presumption of both "guilt" and "fixability, neither of which is a fact. I can't wait for the N.G story on sunspot cycles, or the Optimal Climatic Period which was 4 degrees warmer than today.

A very good story indeed. It is certainly a very good journalism as the story informs and educates the readers about the unfolding scenario on the global warming front.
