What to do with your spare time in 80 years.

In a recent issue of Mother Jones, they declared that "global warming is slowing the earth's rotation [such that] by the end of the 21st century, we'll have gained an extra 0.11 milliseconds per day." So those of us looking for more time in the day shall get our wish. Hooray for depleting ozones!

Also noted:

• The snows of Kilimanjaro are rapidy vanishing.
• Arctic sea ice is up to 40% thinner than it was in the 1960s.
• The first recorded South Atlantic hurricane was in March 2004.
• Lake Chad* covered 9650 square miles in 1963. Today it covers less than 500.
  

And most importantly:

• A melting glacier in the Yukon revealed an 8-foot-tall, half-mile-long pile of ancient caribou dung.

Again I ask, has our government seen The Day After Tomorrow?

* Lake Chad is in Africa. Footnote provided for those of you who might not know where that lake was, because you did not hear a 6th grade geography report read by a girl who was obsessed with the country of Chad on the continent of Africa ... chosen specifically because the boy she liked was named Chad.

My report was on Peru. All I remember about Peru is that their capital is Lima (pronounced leeeema not lyma). I did not like a boy named Peru. I chose Peru because there wasn't a country named "Chris" at the time. Still don't think there is. They should do something about that. Get those kids involved in their educations, I say!
