It's Constitution Day 2014

by Robert Wilkinson

Today is the anniversary of the day the U.S. "formed a more perfect union" and adopted its Constitution, the ultimate law of the land.

UN Report States CO2 Levels Are Rising Dramatically

by Robert Wilkinson

It seems “levels of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose at a record-shattering pace last year,” which has led climate scientists to believe that there is “a diminishing ability of the world’s oceans and plant life to soak up the excess carbon put into the atmosphere by humans.”
