...Animals go where the climate takes them,? says TIME senior science writer Jeffrey Kluger. ?What the butterflies are telling us is that we have been in denial for some time: Global warming is not just coming, it is upon us.? Scientists have calculated that Europe is now slightly warmer than it was 100 years ago and they predict that it will continue to get warmer, and at a faster rate, during the next century because of the greenhouse effect of pollution. ?Evidently some species are already taking steps to adapt to what we have wrought,? says Kluger.

"With the Russians' delays holding up the U.S.-led International Space Station, the Americans have been pushing for this for a while," he says.

...people expected the expedition to find conclusive results," says TIME senior science writer Jeffrey Kluger. But one wonderful thing that did result from the undertaking, he notes, was the expression of good will and good nature that emerged from everyone connected to the search. "No less a person than Edmund Hillary said he was willing to accept the possibility that Mallory got there first," says Kluger.

Hillary and sherpa Tenzing Norgay, were the first to successfully reach Everest?s peak...
...This is the first major sign that there is no such thing as a perfect clone," says TIME senior science writer Jeffrey Kluger. "There has always been concern that when you copy, what you get is no better, and maybe a little worse, than the original, as when you copy a document." These findings raise questions not only about what you get with the first copy, but also what you might get with copies of copies. There is no indication yet that Dolly will die prematurely -- the shortened telomeres may have lessened her cells' genetically-programmed maximum lifespan; however, this...
