"Ozone is blowing across the Pacific Ocean from Asia, hanging over the United States and potentially worsening the West Coast's air pollution, a new study has shown.
By examining 100,000 ozone observations in the free troposphere, a region two to five miles above the ground, a University of Colorado scientist discovered that baseline ozone - the amount not emitted by local vehicles and industries - has grown 29 percent during springtime months since 1984.
Tougher pollution laws in recent decades have reduced most big U.S. cities' ground-level ozone, a gas that helps create smog, but it has mysteriously risen in rural areas where there are few cars and factories to produce it. The reason, according to the study published in Thursday's edition of Nature, may be that Americans are unwittingly importing their air pollution from China and other Asian nations."

If It’s That Warm, How Come It’s So Damned Cold?by James Hansen, Reto Ruedy, Makiko Sato, and Ken Lo The past year, 2009, tied as the second warmest year in the 130 years of global instrumental temperature records, in the surface temperature analysis of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS). The Southern Hemisphere set a record as the warmest year for that half of the world. Global mean temperature, as shown in Figure 1a, was 0.57°C (1.0°F) warmer than climatology (the 1951-1980 base period). Southern Hemisphere mean temperature, as shown in Figure 1b, was 0.49°C (0.88°F) warmer than in the period of climatology.

World misled over Himalayan glacier meltdown.Times Online UK - January 17, 2010 A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it. Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world's glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035. In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC's 2007 report. It has also emerged that the New Scientist report was itself based on a short telephone interview with Syed Hasnain, a little-known Indian scientist then based at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi. Hasnain has since admitted that the claim was "speculation" and was not supported by any formal research. If confirmed it would be one of the most serious failures yet seen in climate research. The IPCC was set up precisely to ensure that world leaders had the best possible scientific advice on climate change. Professor Murari Lal, who oversaw the chapter on glaciers in the IPCC report, said he would recommend that the claim about glaciers be dropped: "If Hasnain says officially that he never asserted this, or that it is a wrong presumption, than I will recommend that the assertion about Himalayan glaciers be removed from future IPCC assessments."

for National Geographic News January 5, 2009 Average temperatures across North America dropped in 2008-which may seem to contradict global warming theory. Not so, scientists say. The cooling, caused by natural changes in global air circulation, temporarily masked the effects of global warming, which is getting worse, a new study says.

If we're going to have government and social manipulation and nanny states, then I am with Robert Heinlein and believe that there should be a strata to that society: those who chose to complete a term of service and thereby earn the privileges of "full" citizenship, and those who chose not to.
The term of service need not be strictly military, but could include pretty much anything the nanny state seeks to accomplish; infrastructure construction/maintenance, social work, etc. Those completing the term would be able to "own" property, vote, etc. Those who chose not to cannot "own" property, vote, etc.
I honestly believe that the sheer number of us has created societal problems that didn't exist a few thousand years ago when the entire population of the planet could comfortably reside in say, Rhode Island.

People had a sense of what was right; I wish we could see that again. With a sense of belonging to a community and of having rights must come a sense of duty to protect and help those who need it. We have to stand by each other if we want to keep those rights and freedoms we are so fortunate to have. That doesn't mean joining the army for 3 years before you are 25 (unless you want to), but it means everyone pulling their weight and helping their community out - whether it be helping tidy the local park or visiting the elderly or whatever. If everyone helped out the world would be a much better place.
*yes, gross oversimplification and yes there was conscription and yes it was terrible since most of them died, but the fact remains - many people volunteered to fight because they saw it as a duty
