Federally funded science saves lives. Not long ago, tsunamis from events like last night's M8.7 in Kamchatka could strike communities across the Pacific with no warning. Lives were lost simply because no one knew a wave was coming

Part of me says 'interesting debate', the other reminds me that most foreign friends would wonder why you're arguing over the two worst food substances ever created. Up the Marm!

I think it was Fremont who may have named those 2 features? Like, it could be summery down low, but wintery up top

The village of Blatten in Switzerland is partly buried by the collapse of a glacier which melted because our greenhouse gas emissions warmed the climate.

Another reminder that choosing to not invest enough today to reduce emissions means far greater costs for society in the long term.
