...study published in the April 16 issue of Nature argues that our ice sheets may be far more vulnerable than we believe, and that it may be a matter of decades before cities like New York are turned into swampland. Scientists led by Paul Blanchon of the National Autonomous University of Mexico examined sea-level fluctuations during the planet's last inter-ice age warm period, about 121,000 years ago, and found that the water rose as much as 10 ft.

Most problematic is that the Republican Party still lacks an effective leader - House minority leader John Boehner and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell don't exactly stir up a crowd - and it has a long way to go before it's in striking position to win back majorities in Congress. Judging by the Democrats' most recent model...
