		<description>&quot;Few seem to realise that the present IPCC models predict almost unanimously that by 2040 the average summer in Europe will be as hot as the summer of 2003 when over 30,000 died from heat. By then we may cool ourselves with air conditioning and learn to live in a climate no worse than that of Baghdad now. But without extensive irrigation the plants will die and both farming and natural ecosystems will be replaced by scrub and desert. What will there be to eat? The same dire changes will affect the rest of the world and I can envisage Americans migrating into Canada and the Chinese into Siberia but there may be little food for any of them.&quot; --Dr James Lovelock&#039;s lecture to the Royal Society, 29 Oct. &#039;07&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Believe it or not, the above prediction now seems to underestimate the problem, because it only takes into consideration human emissions.  Recently it has been discovered that gigantic methane deposits under the ocean have destabilized from the heat pulse hitting the Arctic:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &quot;...Researchers were investigating &quot;alarming&quot; reports in the last few days of the release of methane from long frozen Arctic waters, possibly from the warming of the sea…&quot; --&quot;Arctic sea ice drops to 2nd lowest level on record,&quot; AP, 27 Aug &#039;08&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mwcnews.net/content/view/24997&amp;Itemid=1&quot;&gt;http://mwcnews.net/content/view/24997&amp;Itemid=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;If the Siberian (submarine) permafrost-seal thaws completely and all the stored gas escapes, the methane content of the planet&#039;s atmosphere would increase twelve fold. The result would be catastrophic global warming.&quot; --&quot;A Storehouse of Greenhouse Gases Is Opening in Siberia,&quot; Spiegel, 17 April &#039;08</description>

<p>Believe it or not, the above prediction now seems to underestimate the problem, because it only takes into consideration human emissions.  Recently it has been discovered that gigantic methane deposits under the ocean have destabilized from the heat pulse hitting the Arctic:</p>

		<description>On the occasion of the New Oxford American Dictionary announcing its 2007 Word of the Year, &quot;locavore&quot; a New Oxford rep went &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2007/11/30/05&quot;&gt;on On The Media&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;BOB GARFIELD: Now, when I saw the word, I immediately understood, yeah, got loca - vore - got it - locally-grown produce. Does anyone actually use it?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;BEN ZIMMER: Well, it’s being used quite a lot by the local food movement, either locavore, or there’s another variant form that’s often used - localvore, with an extra L in the middle. And at the moment, those two forms are battling it out a little bit. But the original form and currently the more popular form is locavore.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>
