Jeff D on 30 Mar 09

President Barack Obama has signed legislation today that sets aside more than 2 million acres as protected wilderness. The Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, a collection of nearly 170 separate measures, protects land, lakes and shorelines for future generations. It also represents one of the largest expansions of wilderness protection in a quarter-century, protecting vast tracts of land, hundreds of miles of rivers and trails, and historic sites and heritage areas.

Roger Revelle, an Oceanographer and professor at Harvard University, was the key global warming mentor for Al Gore. Revelle came to doubt his original position on man-made global warming many years later, stating that the true impact of carbon dioxide was not at all certain. He actually apologized that his research sent so many people in the wrong direction on global warming.
