"The main message of this paper is that we're able for the first time to directly attribute warming in both the Arctic and the Antarctic to human influences on climate," said lead author Nathan Gillett, who completed the work while at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, U.K. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/10/31/arctic-antarctica-climate.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:277879 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
