Hinode's Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) provides crystal-clear images of features on the sun's surface. This video shows a whirl of a new developing sunspot colliding with an existing spot that explodes into a major solar flare. The solar flare shown in this movie was captured on December 13, 2006. The flare produced high-energy protons that reached the Earth at the time of STS-116 Space Shuttle flight. The flare is shown in 3 different wavelengths.

Just follow the sun, like tourists...

Reminds me of "The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy".
"...[planet] so concerned with the loss of mass from the volumen of tourists, that you're weighed when entering, and upon leaving, and any gain is surgically removed, so be sure to get a receipt when using the bathroom..."
Looks like a scenic place to take a trip to..

The impact of global warming on the vast Southern Ocean around Antarctica is starting to pose a threat to ocean currents that distribute heat around the world, Australian scientists say, citing new deep-water data.

I thought global warming was caused by liberals.

Socialists want to eliminate freedom of movement, to eat locally grown produce and not put undo human pressure on Gaia...

I knew it was tourists all along. I have the advantage of living in a tourist town so I could see it coming.

Unrestricted movement, socialization and freedom of association are three things that socialists fear the most.
It encourages the free exchange of ideas, and that is very dangerous to their ideal vision of the way the world should be.

That's it! Get all the tourists out of my city now! As if I neede another excuse not to like them...

Anything that allows money to be made causes global warming.
The greenies can have the ball in their court on this one.
There are basically two things that can be done about the global warming problem that has the left all constipated:
1. Get the government to completely take over all aspects of our lives. (the liberal solution)
2. Make it profitable to reverse global warming. (the realistic solution, provided, of course, their is a problem)

"Tourism is unfortunately one of the vectors of (climate) change at the moment and contributes, through its excesses, to the process of global warming," or not.
low-lying Maldive islands in the Indian Ocean may disappear as sea levels rise
or not.
Tanzania's famous lakes, a staple of the African tourism industry, will dry up. In Europe's alps the ski season will become shorter,
or not.
a temperature rise of 1.8 degrees C would translate to 40 fewer days of snowfall at mid-level altitudes of 1 500m.
or not.
These people's agenda is becoming clearer and clearer. The article admits that air travel contributes a paltry 2% of all of these deadly gasses. Even still, the idea of commoners having to gall to be mobile.

Outlaw joggers and cyclists. Sedentarianism is the hip way to decrease the carbon assprint.

According to a French weather expert, a temperature rise of 1.8 degrees C would translate to 40 fewer days of snowfall at mid-level altitudes of 1 500m. Wow! that means that more people can enjoy the warm weather in their own back yard. Less tourism, lower heating bills, less use of dirty power, the CO2 levels drop, the earth is in balance again. Wow, another climate correcting mechanism.

"Tourism is unfortunately one of the vectors of (climate) change at the moment and contributes, through its excesses, to the process of global warming," This may be what we need to make Libs oppose illegal immigration.
Unless they pass just legislation requiring the coyotes to buy carbon credits from Al Gore.
