<blockquote><font size="-1">Tar sands account for 35 percent of
Exxon's liquid holdings, up from 17 percent a decade ago, and
may come under scrutiny in the SEC's probe of its reserve
accounting. ...State and federal investigators are zeroing in on
ExxonMobil's accounting practices as part of two independent
probes, asking whether the energy giant might have misled
investors about the value of its assets....Increasingly, those
assets are made up of Canadian tar sands oil, among the world's
most expensive and dirtiest forms of crude oil.....An
InsideClimate News analysis of the company's financial
disclosures shows that Exxon's oil sands reserves grew
dramatically over the past decade. Doing so has deepened the
company's dependence on an oil source that some economists say
should be one of the first to be abandoned if governments decide
to leave much of the world's fossil fuels in the ground to stave
off global warming.</font><br>

gaining height as bedrock rises under less weight...As the

swiftly, so the bedrock of the enormous island is rising in
response to this weight loss at rates of up to 12mm a year...And
since scientists have been using surface altitude measurements

been shedding ice at a greater rate than anybody thought.. . <a

of the Earth's crust suggests that previous calculations of past

been underestimated....The latest observations, reported in the

Greenland is rising in response to a combination of Glacial

loss over the last ~23 thousands years) and the Earth's
immediate elastic response to present-day ice-mass loss...."It
seems likely, therefore, that further destabilization of these

contribution to sea-level rise in the future."</font><br>

it comes to climate change, on a fundamental level we don't
really understand the problem....the part of climate change
we've failed to culturally metabolize is the meaning of what's
happening to us and the planet.....understanding life in its
planetary context...our urgent questions about sustainability
are a subset of questions about habitability. The key point,
here, is the planets in our own solar system, like Mars, show us
that habitability is not forever. It will likely be a moving
target over time. The same idea is likely true for
sustainability — and we are going to need a plan for that..We're
not a plague on the planet. Instead, we are simply another thing
the Earth has done in its long history. We're an "expression of
the planet,"....climate change and the sustainability crises may
best be seen as our "final exam"</div>
