London air pollution 'worst in Europe'
Britain faces court cases and unlimited fines after dangerous levels of minute particles breach EU levels • Comment: London, the dirty man of Europe• Dave Hill: Where's Boris Johnson's air pollution study?The City of London has been found to be one of the most polluted places in Europe after monitoring equipment recorded
dangerous levels of minute particles for the 36th time this year. Under
EU rules, Britain is allowed no more than 35 "bad air" days in the
whole year, and now faces court cases and unlimited fines by Europe. The breaching of the EU levels after just six months will embarrass the government, which was sent a final warning
only three weeks ago from the European commission to improve air
quality. Many other places in central London are close to the limit and
can be expected to break the law within weeks. Read full story.

| Ice bridge ruptures in Antarctic |
Anonymous writes "The
ice bridge linking a shelf of ice the size of Jamaica to two islands in Antarctica has, after just a few of months of close monitoring, finally snapped.
Scientists
say the collapse could mean the Wilkins Ice Shelf itself is on the brink of
breaking away, and provides further evidence of rapid change in the
region.
Sited on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, the Wilkins shelf has been retreating since the 1990s.
Researchers regarded the ice bridge as an important barrier, holding the remnant shelf structure in place.
Its removal will allow ice to move more freely between Charcot and Latady islands, into the open ocean.

| Politicians eh? Where would we be without 'em? |
Titan writes "Call to inaction
Editor Comment: Nigel Lawson, who, during his time in British government, championed the non-existence of global warming, and fought for years to keep the government from doing anything about it, has now published a book in which he admits that although global warming does exist, it is a good thing and no-one should worry about it!!.
The article "Truth telling" (Aug. 18) represents a new tactic in the debate on global warming.
The old tactic was denial . such as claiming the temperature rise is natural or claiming "global temperatures have not risen in a decade." Neither are quite true.
The World Meteorological Organization's 2007 Summary Report for Policy Makers shows that 1998 was the hottest year on record since 1850. The report says that the Earth's mean temperature is rising, that the increase is changing the environment and it is caused by man's activities.

| The shape of things to come. |
Titan writes "A fisherman has undergone re-constructive surgery after becoming the first person to be bitten by a Blue shark off the British coast.
Daring Stephen Perkins, 52, had just hauled the beast into his boat for a commemorative photograph when it sunk its teeth into his forearm.
It caused deep puncture wounds and Stephen was losing so much blood that an RAF Sea King helicopter was scrambled to collect him off the Devon coastline.

| North Pole Stands on Thin Ice |
Titan writes "In an article seen recently on The Independent, By Steve Connor, Science Editor.
Polar scientists reveal dramatic new evidence of climate change.
It seems unthinkable, but for the first time in human history, ice is on course to disappear entirely from the North Pole this year.
The disappearance of the Arctic sea ice, making it possible to reach the Pole sailing in a boat through open water, would be one of the most dramatic . and worrying . examples of the impact of global warming on the planet.

| Global Warming |
The CyberNuke Team writes "The team at Cybernuke all feel strongly about the effect that humankind is having on our planet's environment. We thought that we should add a new topic to cover any items of interest in this area.
This is not something that we can leave to the machinations of those who purport to lead us... or leave to someone else to sort. It affects us all and is caused by us all. Every time we drive our cars, every time we buy some item produced at enormous environmental cost.
We ALL need to play a part in resolving this problem before it it too late, if it is not already too late. All articles related to global warming, rising sea levels, unprecendented hurricanes and environmental damage caused through this are welcome here.
Editor."
