Watch out for floating Ice Bergs!

From the article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091211/wl_afp/australiaantarcticaiceberg

We now have to be aware of floating icebergs. Due to the rising temperature of the Oceans, Antartica has been experiencing a decline of Ice leading to chipping of Icebergs from the continents shore. These massive Icebergs float around the Ocean and now have become a threat to places like Australia.

So next time you're planning that cruise vacation, be on the look out for the floating bergs, even if it's the dead of summer.

Say goodbye to the Warmest Decade Ever.

According to this article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091208/ap_on_sc/climate

As we bid farewell to the decade of the milenia, the United Nations gathered in COPENHAGEN and announced that this decade is very likely to be the warmest since record-keeping began in 1850, and 2009 could rank among the top-five warmest years, the U.N. weather agency reported Tuesday on the second day of a pivotal 192-nation climate conference.

In some areas — parts of Africa and Central Asia — this will probably be the warmest year, but overall 2009 "is likely to be about the fifth-warmest year on record," said Michel Jarraud, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization.

The decade 2000-2009 "is very likely to be the warmest on record, warmer than the 1990s, than the 1980s and so on," Jarraud said at a news conference, holding up a chart with a temperature curve pointing upward.

It's Snowing.. EVERYWHERE!

There was a blizzard last night, which is not so uncommon for the month of December, but in the mid-west?! Places like reno, nevada and New Mexico were covered under a blanket of snow. Last time i checked, it was suppose to be hot in the dessert!

This storm stretched from California to Indiana, gathering strength as it raced eastward. So all you eastern people better prepare for a crazy storm.
