So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
My true love drowned in a dirty old pan / Of oil that did run from the block / Of a falcon sedan 1969 / The paper said '75 — Neko Case, Star Witness |

A month of driving to work and look at the consequences. I will make up for this.
March of Penguins Turning Into Trail of Tears
By Alexis Madrigal January 26, 2009 | 5:00:02 PMEmperor penguin colonies will face extinction if the warming trend of the last 50 years continues over the next century.
Despite dwindling concern among Americans about climate change, the warming climate continues to change life for animals, particularly at the Earth’s poles. In a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, biologists report that the penguins are in trouble.
“To avoid extinction, Emperor penguins will have to adapt, migrate or change the timing of their growth stages,” they write. “However, given the future projected increases in [greenhouse gases] and its effect on Antarctic climate, evolution or migration seem unlikely for such long-lived species at the remote southern end of the Earth.”
