The vegetation anomaly shown in the image indicates troubles for
Iraq’s agricultural and natural systems, and shows that the damage
includes other areas of the region.

Ohio Police Attack Long Walkers

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Unprovoked Columbus, Ohio police attacked Long Walkers,
by first pointing a taser at the head of Michael Lane and then forcing
Luv the Mezenger to the ground and handcuffing him.
The Longest Walk Northern Route was walking this prayer through Columbus
on Monday, June 2, when police squad cars and arrest wagons arrived.
Without discussion of the purpose of the prayer walk, or verifying that
the Ohio Department of Transportation had been notified of the prayer
walk, police attacked the walkers.
Climate Change Impacts to the Colorado River Basin
Scientific research indicates that warmer temperatures may create
substantial water supply shortages in the Colorado River. This would
greatly impact the more than 25 million people who rely on this
source for water and power. Science-based tools and information are
needed to adapt to changing climate conditions in this region of
growing population and limited water resources. For more information
on the USGS model showing potential shortages from this basin, visit
http://water.usgs.gov/nrp/proj.bib/Publications/2007/mccabe_wolock_2007.pdf.
The USGS is hosting a congressional briefing on June 6 in Washington,
D.C. on climate change impacts on the Colorado River.
The briefing is open to the public. For more information about this
briefing, visit www.usgs.gov/solutions or contact Jessica Robertson

Media Release
6 June 2008
The international science community must devote more resources to
research into the effects climate change is having on ocean
environments, according to a paper published today in the journal
Science by researchers at CSIRO’s Climate Adaptation National
Research Flagship.
“Marine ecosystems are undoubtedly under-resourced, overlooked and
under threat and our collective knowledge of impacts on marine life
is a mere drop in the ocean,” wrote Dr Anthony Richardson, from The
University of Queensland and CSIRO, and his co-author, Dr Elvira
Poloczanska from CSIRO in Hobart.
