Those who died on 9/11 deserve more than a cover-up of uncomfortable truths, including the fact that Saudi Arabia is no friend of the U.S. SCOTT KILHEFNER Cape Coral...
...research was on climate, which is more than just temperature, over many centuries, well beyond the range of widespread thermometer records. As has been customary for over three decades in studies of past climate, we relied on environmental indicators of change, including annually-dated information in tree rings, coral, stalagmites and ice cores. Those indicators respond differently to temperature, rainfall, sea salinity, etc., so they cannot be simply averaged. The indicators are not sampled across most of the world to give a global picture...
...Australian National University show that reefs may be vulnerable to another environmental insult: wildfires. A new report suggests that smoke from 1997 Indonesian fires deposited iron on the surface of the water, leading to the growth of phytoplankton. This caused a so-called red tide that suffocated the coral. The only good reef news comes from a new four-nation study suggesting that while climate change certainly isn't good for coral, the tiny organisms may do better than we think at adapting to new conditions. Species with a tolerance for warmer waters may already be emerging. This flicker...

Russia, an old cold war ally, is currently staging a massive military exercise near the North Korean border, together with two of North Korea's traditional enemies, Japan and South Korea.
