Interesting how we take from history as this all happens around us. The Roman history bit where Nero is supposed to have sat and fiddled while Rome burnt. That is us.
Maybe we will be the occupiers of less time on this planet than any other species.

An isolated, 100-acre lake on the Canadian Arctic's Baffin Island is showing signs of warming that is unprecedented in 200,000 years of history due to human-caused climate change, according to a new report.

The multi-year study, led by scientists at the University of Colorado and published this week in the <A target="_blank" href="http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2009/10/16/0907094106.abstract">Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</A>, is the latest to paint a picture of dramatic greenhouse warmth that is expected to warm the Arctic sooner than we think.

	"We see clear evidence for warming in one of the most remote places on Earth at a time when the Arctic should be cooling because of natural processes," said lead author Yarrow Axford of the University of Colorado's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research.

A natural cooling trend was observed in the Arctic during the last 8,000 years, cooling minus 0.36 degrees Fahrenheit every thousand years. That is, until 1950, when cold temperatures "abruptly declined."
