When will it end? Thanks Lex for covering the myriad disasters that all point to planetary neglect.

I was also very disappointed by the lack of major news coverage on the climate report, the day it was released CBS did not have ANY coverage, just a segment on Superbowl Sod that was wet. Katie Couric shame on you!

Thanks for reading about it... The coverage of the ICCP was dissapointing- I think the only thing to be grateful for is that there weren't a whole slew of those idiotic reports where a reporter goes outside and says "brr, it's cold, so much for global warming, har har!"
And Katie Couric... what is there to say! ;)
