climate change

Several events and related articles in the press recently provide further insight into global climate change and how we learn about it and think about it.

Cathy Young in the Boston Globe offers this article on bringing common sense into the political debate.

NASA Watch provides a collection of articles about funding risks for Earth Observation Satellites in this post: Earth Observation Satellite Cuts Examined.

And the New York Times has a great piece on The Warming of Greenland - uncovering a new island.

It seems to me that Cathy is right - we need common sense, and we need that common sense informed by as much relevant scientific data as possible. Seems like this is the worst possible time to take the risk of having less data provided by earth-observing satellites.
