In a commentary for the BBC, Mike Hulme -- director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research -- said the reality of climate change is bad enough without resorting to apocalyptic language.

Some climate scientists who believe that human-caused global warming is happening also believe that Sir Nicholas Stern's analysis of the economics of climate change made some major errors.

A round-up of coverage.

Officials in the former Soviet republic of Georgia grabbed a guy last year who had bomb-grade uranium he was trying to sell (more to the point, he had a sample in his shirt pocket). But he claimed to have up to three kilograms, which is enough for a small nuke.

The Observer reported that Bush administration was heading for a u-turn on climate change and that he would announce a cap on emissions in his State of the Union Speech on Tuesday.

That was wishful thinking on the part of the Blair government in Britain.
