...just don't understand these people. They're the same ones that think Elvis Presley and JFK are catching up on some R&R on an obscure ice glacier in the arctic...
...this current, argue Broecker and Denton, that keeps the Arctic relatively warm and glacier free. When it stops running, an ice age -- or a cold spike -- begins. What causes a turnoff? An influx of fresh water might do it, by diluting the saltiness and density of the current, preventing it from sinking and heading back to the tropics. There is evidence that at just the time the Younger Dryas began, a huge North American lake (which no longer exists) began dumping Amazonian quantities of fresh water into the North Atlantic. The discharge stopped about 1,000 years later...
...might be the 1960s migration to the Sun Belt, which brought hockey-playing people from glacier regions like Minnesota to the Southland. It also could be the corrupting influence of TV. Last year, Jason Priestly's character played hockey on "Beverly Hills 90210". This year, roller hockey booms. That might not be a coincidence...
...water sales -- is half what it was before the benzene scare. Bottlers suffered another jolt in 1991, when the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee conducted an extensive investigation of the industry. Among the committee's findings: 25% of pricey bottled waters, including such brands as Great Bear and Glacier Springs, come from the same sources as ordinary tap water; another 25% could not document the source of water at all; and 31% exceeded the allowable levels of microbiological contamination. The main problem, concluded the committee, was "inexcusably negligent" regulatory oversight...
...proposing the most sweeping new regulations in two decades. The most controversial would set uniform definitions for types of bottled waters, such as "artesian," "mineral," "distilled" and "natural spring." These terms are now generally ill defined. Some names, such as Grayson's "mountain water" and Music's "glacier water," defy definition since no such categories exist...
