...small towns throughout northern Ohio might be shocked to learn that "suburbanites and city dwellers do the fighting and hourly-wage work now." Klein insults our intelligence, our work ethic and our values when he suggests that we live in a place where "myths are more potent than the hope of getting past the dour realities." Oh, I forgot--like our brethren in Pennsylvania, we embrace guns and religion to escape the harsh realties of our existence. Steve Mohr, BUCYRUS, OHIO...
...more respect. For both girls and boys: Use condoms every time. Don't have sex just to fit in. And babies won't make you happy. We adults must be willing to talk about these big issues. We can't simply squeeze our eyes shut to the situation and hope it will go away. If we continue to do that, by the time we open our eyes, our babies will have had their own babies.

A full climatic record of the Eemian has never been constructed, but over the next several summers (scientific work is seasonal on the freezing-cold island), the NEEM researchers hope to harvest cores that will help them track the state of the ice throughout that era, when Greenland was warm enough to actually be green. Dahl-Jensen believes that with enough information, they will be able to project forward and understand just how vulnerable Greenland is to future melting. "With...
...that type of confidence that serves as our light in the climatic darkness, living proof that hope hasn't vanished. You need that comfort when you're standing on a rocky hilltop in Greenland, watching the ice disappear. As Jakobshavn gives way to the fjord, a stadium-size iceberg suddenly implodes, disintegrating like a collapsing skyscraper. I watch as a plume of mist fills the air where the iceberg once was, while the fjord churns on. And then I wonder, Just how much time do Greenland and the rest of us have before it's too late? That...
