Wine before its time alarms Italy

Global warming, or perhaps just a hot summer, puts the nation's grape harvest on a fast track

By Christine Spolar | Tribune foreign correspondent
August 16, 2007

GROTTAFERRATA, Italy - Patrizia Filippi has no degree in meteorology or any idea how to calculate what scientists call extreme weather change. But the 43-year-old grape picker has been working this area's silky, volcanic soil for nearly three decades, and she knows what she sees:

This is an early harvest unlike anything that Italy, or any generation in her family, has experienced in memory.

"I'm a bit scared," Filippi said, pulling and snipping a thick, juicy bunch of white grapes from the vines of the Castel de Paolis estate. "I've never picked grapes this early in the season. We're used to picking grapes in October. That's when the grape festivals are. Even my father is saying: What the hell has gone wrong with the world?"

ExxonMobil admits to causing climate change
Submitted by Vidura Panditaratne on Sat, 2007-01-06 07:55.



ExxonMobil today admitted that climate change is real, and is caused by green houses gasses emitted by burning fossil fuels, much of which is produced by them, but failed to apologise for their actions or change their ways, according to a press release issued by the multi-billion dollar oil company.

"What is clear today is that greenhouse gas emissions are one of the factors that contribute to climate change," the release said. "And that the use of fossil fuels is a major source of these emissions."

The admission came after a group leading scientist blamed ExxonMobil for paying religious groups to create doubt in the public mind about the scientific basis of climate change.

A report by union of concerned scientists uncovered how ExxonMobil has adopted tobacco-industry tactics to spread disinformation on global warming science. By funneling millions of dollars to groups that support a handful of climate change contrarians, ExxonMobil has succeeded in confusing the public about our scientific understanding of global warming (and delaying action needed to slow the trend).

ExxonMobil admitted that they financially supported not-for-profit orgnisations that they "find some of them persuasive and enlightening" but denied they were trying to deliberately "muddy global warming science".


best of luck..

How about CONTRIBUTING, rolling?

Could you concede that man is CONTRIBUTING to
global warming or is your denial so gross that you cannot?

Yes or no, or will you just roll over, again?

Nothing but the



please.
