Weather Outside is Frightful

Here's a fun new twist to the global warming issue. Some Eskimos think climate change might be a violation of their basic human rights, and they're working with the Organization of American States to lay the groundwork for a lawsuit.

Against who you ask? Well, certainly not Alignak, the Inuit weather god. Rule number one in litigation - sue the folks with the money.

But they better move quickly. Professor Chronis Tzedakis from Leeds University in the U.K. is advancing a theory that involves forest growth and a forthcoming ice age, which we possibly were supposed to have anyway, and could be currently delayed by global warming, but will eventually be caused by it. (As theory goes, that's a win-win.)

Clearly Mike Crichton will need to digest all this information before working on a sequel.
