The world's temperature rose about half a degree centigrade during the last quarter of the 20th century; but even the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research - part of Britain's Met Office and a citadel of the current global warming orthodoxy - has now conceded that recorded temperature figures for the first seven years of the 21st century reveal there has been a standstill. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=557374&in_page_id=1770 The truth is that there has so far been no recorded global warming at all this century.

My roomate and I had a countdown, I even left a movie screening to go outside for like 20 mins to watch it. I don't think I've ever seen one and it was awesome. It creeped me out a little too because the whole time I thought a lazer was going to shoot down and some aliens were going to laugh in our face. But maybe I'm just insane... I think blogging about our interests is a RELIEF. I'm so glad you changed your mind because after our blogging requirement I actually started subscribing to blogs that I have known from my internships and now I have a whole new appreciation for the blogosphere. I have read some interesting stuff out there about the things I enjoy - music, fashion, movies, TV - so I wanted to post my thoughts about some new things but didn't know if I was allowed since we have to keep up with readings. But maybe I will start expanding my thoughts not just on what our class is about but my own passions. So thanks for the encouragement! I got to see the lunar eclipse too.

So I was just alerted to this post for example. All PR people need to set up alerts so they understand what is being said about their company (or their clients) and respond as appropriate. Cheers, David Hi Diane,
