Quote of the Moment
"There are very few objections to the theory as a whole; everyone in the scientific community agrees that the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is on the rise, and almost everyone believes that it cannot help having some effect. To declare, as some editorialists have done, that the warming has not yet appeared and therefore the theory is wrong is like arguing that a women hasn't yet given birth and therefore isn't pregnant."

Field Work
Risan Project's Todd Anders Johnson traveled to Alaska in July for field work with members of the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. Working on the Gulkana Glacier in the Delta Range near Fairbanks, the team used GPS and radar to gather data that would help them determine ice thickness and ice melting rates.
