Climate Change and Happy Babies
Saturday, February 03, 2007
I know, I know, this is turning into one of those blogs, you know, a baby-blog. While there are much more important things to share, such as the newly released UN Inter Governmental Report on Climate Change. This report, a follow-up to a 2001 study, added just one small word to a sentence previously used in the 2001 report, and thereby changed the face of the global warming debate forever (one hopes). While the 2001 report stated that it was "likely"that global warming was mostly caused by human activity, the new report, collaborated on by 2,500 scientists from 130 countries, added the word "very", now proclaiming it "very likely" that the burning of fossil fuels account for most of the warming overt the past 50 years. For scientists, this is the equivalent of "beyond a reasonable doubt". The only debate left will be about the future extent and final consequences of climate change. Of course, there are still nay-sayers, even now...
Anyway, back to the good stuff. This here video shows baby Martin at his cutest. I just had to share...
very cute!
