The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years.

And where else would one find out that President-Elect Obama was releasing ashes from the urn of a dog and not of his grandmother, and that there is no proof that she ever died?
