Thomas Friedman s ''Festival of Lies''

By Lawrence Davidson

There are lies aplenty when it comes to U.S. actions in the Middle East. However, they are not lies we tell to others but rather to ourselves. And from that, nothing good can come.

Man whose WMD lies led to 100,000 deaths confesses all

Independent [UK]

04/01/12

A man whose lies helped to make the case for invading Iraq, starting a nine-year war costing more than 100,000 lives and hundreds of billions of pounds, will come clean in his first British television interview tomorrow. 'Curveball,' the Iraqi defector who fabricated claims about Iraq s weapons of mass destruction, smiles as he confirms how he made the whole thing up. It was a confidence trick that changed the course of history, with Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi s lies used to justify the Iraq war...

The past decade has been one of unprecedented weather extremes. Scientists of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany argue that the high incidence of extremes is not merely accidental.

Greenland ice sheet may melt completely with 1.6 degrees global warming

The Greenland ice sheet is likely to be more vulnerable to global warming than previously thought. The temperature threshold for melting the ice sheet completely is in the range of 0.8 to 3.2 degrees Celsius global warming, with a best estimate of 1.6 degrees above pre-industrial levels, shows a new study by scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Today, already 0.8 degrees global warming has been observed. Substantial melting of land ice could contribute to long-term sea-level rise of several meters and therefore it potentially affects the lives of many millions of people.

Das vergangene Jahrzehnt war eines nie dagewesener Wetterextreme. Dass diese Häufung nicht einfach nur Zufall ist, belegen jetzt Wissenschaftler des Potsdam-Instituts für Klimafolgenforschung (PIK). Aus den vielen einzelnen Ereignissen fügt sich ein Bild zusammen. Zumindest bei extremen Regenfällen und extremen Hitzewellen ist der Zusammenhang mit der vom Menschen verursachten globalen Erwärmung deutlich, so zeigen die Wissenschaftler in ihrer Analyse des Forschungsstands in der Fachzeitschrift Nature Climate Change. Weniger klar ist dagegen der Zusammenhang bei Stürmen, trotz der beobachteten Zunahme der Stärke von Hurricans.
