>>EXTREME WEATHER MAY INDICATE GLOBAL WARMING
>>
>>The New York Times reported yesterday (Oct 29) that a change in 
>>the jet stream may be responsible for the chaotic weather that 
>>mid-atlantic and northeast states have experienced in recent 
>>years.  Scientists are now studying whether global warming caused 
>>the jet stream shift.
>>
>>The jet stream, the current of air that runs west to east in our 
>>upper atmosphere, has shifted in recent years, scientists say.  
>>It now flows further south and east over the United States than 
>>ever before.
>>
>>The shift has increased the severity and reduced the frequency of 
>>storms the northeast experiences.  The blizzards of 1993 and 
>>1996, the torrential rain storms earlier this year, and the 
>>massive "Halloween Northeaster" of 1991 may all have been at 
>>least in part related to this shift in the jet stream.
>>
>>This is in keeping with the predictions scientists have made 
>>about the results of global warming.  Dr. Tom Karl, Senior 
>>Scientist at the National Climate Data Center, has reported that 
>>the number of extreme weather events, rainstorms and blizzards 
>>that produce large amounts of precipitation (over 2 inches) in 24 
>>hours, has increased dramatically in recent years.  This research 
>>has led him to conclude that global warming has begun.
>>
>>Even notable climate change skeptics are admitting the 
>>possibility of a human influence on the jet stream.  In a major 
>>shift Dr. Robert E. Davis, a global warming dissenter at the 
>>University of Virginia, was quoted by the New York Times as 
>>saying "the bottom line is we just don't know" when asked whether 
>>or not global warming was behind the shift.  In the past Dr. 
>>Davis has argued that the majority of the world's climate 
>>scientists are wrong in saying that climate change is occuring, 
>>and that global warming is just a myth.
>>
>>WILDLIFE THREATENED AS WORLD WARMS II: WHOOPING CRANES
>>
>>Last week (10/21-10/25) we reported on the impacts of global 
>>warming on migratory birds.  As the climate changes droughts 
>>occur more frequently in areas such as the US Sourhwest.  Also, 
>>red tides -- algal blooms -- are linked to warming waters. 
>>Today's Greenwire carries a story on the endangered whooping 
>>crane and how it will face some of those hazards during it's 
>>winter migration. 
>>
>>At a time when the crane's population is making a modest 
>>comeback, many could face starvation.  The Aransas National 
>>Wildlife refuge in Texas, where 158 of the rare birds spent the 
>>winter of 1995, has suffered from a combination of drought and 
>>red tides that have drastically cut the available food supply.  
>>An extremely dry  year has reduced the population of blue crabs, 
>>their favorite winter food source.  A recent bloom of the algae 
>>that causes red tides may have contaminated many of the bird's 
>>other food sources, and could make many of the cranes sick.  As 
>>the process of global warming continues, more and more of the 
>>world's wildlife could become extinct.

Kedves Dia, akkor had ugorjon a nyul!

Az USA-ban allitolag Miami kornyeken lehet meregdragan CFC-khez jutni.
Biztos mashol is. Ha valaki otthon tennyleg akar szerezni, az orosz es ukran
maffiat ajanlom, biztos olcsobban adjak mint az USA-ban. Az oroszok meg ha
akarnak se tudnak leallitani a CFC termelesuket. Kinat es Indiat es
Del-Koreat jobb nem is emliteni. Abbol gazdagszanak, hogy a harmadik vilagot
ellatjak CFC-kkel (merthogy a nagy nyugati cegek mar nem gyartjak)
tobbszorosere novelt kapacitassal.
