# Global warming solution hopes dampened. (BBC) Experiments carried out from
a submarine three kilometres under the ocean have poured cold water on an
ambitious scheme to deal with global warming. The idea was to store carbon
dioxide produced by the burning of fossil fuels under the ocean, stopping it
from getting into the atmosphere and adding to the greenhouse effect. In
theory this would reduce the rate of global warming, but now a report in the
journal Science suggests that putting the idea into practice may not be so
simple. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_338000/338745.stm

threat to coral reefs -- Greenland ice warning -- Climate change a real
worry -- Can iron cool the world? -- Saving the world's climate --
: Who'll gain most when Terrestrial greenhouse changes become irreversible:
Tibetans, Reptilioids, Bilderbergers, jellyfish, ants, gerbils, snakes, me?

# Pentagon confirms depleted uranium use. (BBC) The US Dept of Defense has
confirmed that its aircraft are using depleted uranium weapons in the Kosovo
conflict. DU is both radioactive and toxic, though Nato insists that it is
no more dangerous than any other heavy metal. Linked to Gulf War syndrome?

: Does dropping radioactive munitions qualify the Kosovo mess as a nuclear
war? If DU hit the Chinese Embassy, is that the same as nuking China? Are
somebody's alien implants misfiring? Is NATO possessed by demons? Are you?

# Pope prays for murdered Catholics. (BBC) Pope John Paul II, on the second
day of his visit to Romania, has visited a Roman Catholic cemetery at Bellu

their beliefs. Later, the Pope celebrated a Greek Catholic mass. Party on,

: Does the pope give a sh!t about murdered Atheists, Pagans, Baha'is, JWs,
Freemasons, Moslems, Buddhists, Abductees? Do you? Do you pray for anyone?
Does it help? Do they spring back to life? Is that what you prayed for? Why?

: Is Xian unity possible, desirable, fantastic? Who would run a unified Xian
church? How long would it last? Would it be taken over by fundys, humanists,
Reptilioids, Republicans, advertisers, Nestorians? Who would be purged? How?

Trail boss was not a job to be taken lightly, Logan knew, as it meant rising
long before dawn, with the frost still on the prairie and the corn flowers,
then setting the wagoners to rights, the coffee to brewing, the women and
children to stirring, the oxen to feeding, and finally hitching up and
rolling the Conestogas, but, ah, the sheep! --Terrence Carroll
