Activity around global warming is really heating up (pun intended). Over the weekend, I read an article from the Discovery Channel regarding a new report from the National Academy of Sciences saying that "recent warmth is unprecedented for at least the last 400 years and potentially the last several millennia" and that "human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming." No big surprise there but good to see that Congress requested such a report be generated. Today, I read an article in CNN.com regarding a case that the Supreme Court has agreed to take on - considering whether the Bush administration must regulate carbon dioxide to combat global warming (setting up what could be one of the court's most important decisions on the environment). It will certainly be interesting to see how that case unfolds.
