I'll be celebrating today's holiday with a 'bou, specifically the one I shot a few weeks ago up on the North Slope. 'Bou stew for lunch, 'bou steaks in the freezer, 'bou burger waiting to get ground up . . .In the news today, there's still chatter about the White House editing testimony from the CDC on public health and climate change. Here's an AP story and a Boston Globe editorial, along with a take from Rolling Stone (one inconvenient truth: "Global warming might kill grandpa").
The U.S. House's Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming is holding a hearing tomorrow on the link between climate change and forest fires. An increase in fires -- at least in the Arctic -- has been projected for years. The notice for the hearing notes the big fires in California, which are consistent with climate projections, according to some. (I understand there's some debate over this.)
Also, the NY Times' Andy Revkin, my old prof in journalism school, has started a blog on climate. It's called Dot Earth.
