Vail Daily letter: Blatant bias - Vail Colorado: Business

Shane Musgrove Vail Valley, CO Colorado letters@vaildaily.com — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:30:00 GMT

Ted (Springer, Letters to the editor, Jan. 30), Slow down. You're shouting out blatant bias from the beginning to end of your letter. It is incredibly one-sided. I am neither a Republican or a Democrat, but this sort of chatter is perturbing. You say, "Truth is, Obama and his people have been actively pursuing the terrorist problem, but that is not the kind of thing they choose to do through the media." I say, how are you privy to so much information about Obama's administration? Are you on the inside and just keeping it classified? Please enlighten us. You say, "And are climate change and health care secondary and tertiary considerations? Tell that to all those Americans whose health insurance has been denied because of change of jobs. ...

New federal agency to track climate change - Twincities.com: Nation

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:30:00 GMT

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Monday proposed a new agency to study and report on the changing climate. Also known as global warming, climate change has drawn widespread concern as temperatures around the world rise, threatening to harm crops, spread disease, raise sea levels, change storm and drought patterns and cause polar melting. The new Climate Service will operate in tandem with NOAA's National Weather Service and National Ocean Service. NOAA recently reported that the decade of 2000-2009 was the warmest on record worldwide; the previous warmest decade was the 1990s. Most atmospheric scientists believe warming is largely due to human actions, adding gases to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas.

Europe loses seat at top table - The Guardian -- Front Page

Ian Traynor — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:30:00 GMT

In Washington they're not sure who's in charge. In Brussels they're squabbling. Ian Traynor reports on the EU's crisis of confidence Sitting in parkland in the shadow of the European parliament, the Bibliothèque Solvay is that rare thing in Brussels's dismal European quarter – a pretty building. But when heads of government or state from 27 countries meet here on Thursday under their new president, Herman Van Rompuy of Belgium, they will have little time for the art nouveau fittings or for the old books lining the wood-panelled walls of the 1902 library. The first EU summit under Van Rompuy's stewardship sees Europe slumped in a mood of unusually persistent gloom. Van Rompuy, Gordon Brown, Nicolas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel and the rest are ...

David Adam — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:30:00 GMT

Global warming could be changing seasonal timing with profound consequences, according to analysis of 726 species of plants and animals As snow flurries continued to cause disruption across the country today, spring may feel further away than ever.

The analysis confirms that spring and summer are occurring earlier, but also shows that this trend appears to be accelerating. The shift could pose problems for animals, birds and fish that rely on springtime flowering of plants to supply food for their young. Stephen Thackeray, a biologist at the ...
