12/8    The current decade has been marked by dramatic effects of warming.

        In 2007-2009, the summer melt reduced the Arctic Ocean ice cap to its
        smallest extent ever recorded. In the 2007-2009 International Polar
        Year, researchers found that Antarctica is warming more than previously
        believed. Almost all glaciers worldwide are retreating.

        Destructive species such as jellyfish and bark-eating beetles are moving
        northward out of normal ranges, and seas expanding from warmth and
        glacier melt are encroaching on low-lying island states.
        \_ What's that buzzing sound?
        \_ better call the bugman, I think you've got a wasp problem
        \_ BUT ITS REALLY COLD. Global warming must not be happening.  I'm going
           to go post my vast knowledge to the SFGate comments now.
