<blockquote><font size="-1">The most popular climate change story

of those engagements from Facebook. The story's author worked
for many years with UK conspiracy theorist David Icke....</font><br>

partisan” news sites, often publishing faked or unverified
content under sensational headlines with little to no
journalistic rigour, has come into sharp focus after Trump’s

longer a question of whether the West Antarctic Ice Sheet will
melt, it's a question of when," said study leader Ian Howat,
associate professor of earth sciences at Ohio State. "This kind
of rifting behavior provides another mechanism for rapid retreat
of these glaciers, adding to the probability that we may see
significant collapse of West Antarctica in our lifetimes."

Glacier, and the impressive urban expansion of Las Vegas,
Nevada. Today, we're making our largest update to Timelapse
yet, with four additional years of imagery, petabytes of new

This Day in Climate History November 30, 2010 </a>- from
D.R. Tucker </b></font><br>
<blockquote> November 30, 2010: Katie Couric, in her CBSNews.com
"Notebook" segment, observes:<br>
"The debate over global warming is once again heating up in
Washington. Roughly half of the newly elected Republican
congressmembers are climate change skeptics, according to one
survey, and some want to roll back environmental regulations.<br>
"Their position was bolstered by the Climategate scandal, in which
a handful of scientists were accused of manipulating data to
support climate change. The scientists were later cleared, but the
damage was done. Less than 60 percent of Americans now believe in
global warming, down from 80 percent in 2006.<br>
"Still, the vast majority of scientists -- 97 percent -- say
man-made climate change is real. 700 climate experts have joined a
media project to educate the public, and UN talks are underway in
Cancun on a treaty to curb greenhouse gases.<br>
"Time is ticking. Global warming may have become a political
football, but scientists say it's one we can't afford to punt."
