‘Global warming real’ say new studies

If global warming hits the world full force, it will make the 2004 tsunami look like a baseball game. The best documentary I ever saw on this subject is After The Warming, by James Burke. He projects what the world will go through until 2050, if the warming started in 1998. (The film was made in 1991.) Droughts in America, disasters in the Third World, the rise of Japan and Asia as the pre-eminent superpowers, a global carbon trading system - a revolution in history to rival WW2 and the atomic age. Granted, the changes are coming more slowly than he projected, but given what we know now, this should make prophetic watching.

This is a map of Yushchenko vs. Yanukovych, round 2.0. In the popular style of coloring candidates, it shows where each candidate's respective strengths are: generally, Yush in the west and Yanu in the east. (It's too small to see percentages; go to the above link for that.)
