Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 NASA scientist has chilling global warming tale Saturday, March 11, 2006 By ALEX NUSSBAUMSTAFF WRITER The Earth is fast approaching a global warming "point of no return," a tipping point that could lead to lifeless poles and inundated coasts -- and even floodwaters that reach Ridgewood and Tenafly, a top NASA scientist warned Friday. James Hansen, the physicist whose clashes with the White House have made national headlines, warned a crowd of more than 300 in Paramus that the planet was already feeling the effects of overheating, though he said it still wasn't too late to avoid a crisis. "Up until now, you could say we still didn't understand what we were doing when we emitted these gases," Hansen told a packed conference room at Bergen Community College in Paramus. "That's no longer true." If the trend isn't reversed, he said, "there's no court of international opinion that will forgive us."http://www.northjersey.com/page.php?qstr=eXJpcnk3ZjczN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXkzJmZnYmVsN2Y3dnFlZUVFeXk2ODk1ODE1JnlyaXJ5N2Y3MTdmN3ZxZWVFRXl5Mg== "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
