We don't see foreclosure activity peaking until sometime in 2010, and we probably won't be down to normal levels of foreclosure inventory until sometime in 2013. Year to date, we've already seen about 2.3 million households receive a foreclosure notice. That's roughly the same amount we had all of last year.

"We've lost 26% of the ice since 2000 alone. And that, unfortunately, is just what we predicted would happen." Within a few decades, he says, most if not all of Kilimanjaro's glaciers will be gone.
