Melting glaciers in Western Canada are revealing tree stumps up to
7,000 years old where the region's rivers of ice have retreated to a
historic minimum, a geologist said today.

Johannes Koch of The College of Wooster in Ohio found the
fresh-looking, intact tree stumps beside retreating glaciers in
Garibaldi Provincial Park, about 40 miles (60 kilometers) north of
Vancouver, British Columbia.

Radiocarbon dating of the wood from the stumps revealed the wood was
far from fresh—some of it dated back to within a few thousand years of
the end of the last ice age.

Fires spew tons of global warming gas

WASHINGTON - In one week, Southern California's wildfires spewed the
same amount of carbon dioxide — the primary global warming gas — as
the state's power plants and vehicles did, scientists figure.

A new study by two Colorado researchers shows that U.S. wildfires pump
a significant amount of the greenhouse gas into the air each year,
more than the state of Pennsylvania does. It raises questions about
how useful it is to plant trees to offset rising carbon dioxide
emissions and soothe environmental consciences.

Because the California wildfires occurred just as the study was about
to be published, the researchers calculated how much carbon dioxide
was likely to come from the devastating blazes Oct. 19-26. It's a lot:
8.7 million tons.

That's more than the state of Vermont produces in a year. And it's
also more than the 6 million tons estimated by California's air
control agency, which used a different calculation method.

GOP State Rep Resigns Amid Sex Scandal

By RACHEL LA CORTE - 4 hours ago

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - A state lawmaker who has voted against gay
rights resigned Wednesday, days after he was quoted in police reports
as saying a man he had sex with after they met at an erotic video
store was trying to blackmail him.

Rep. Richard Curtis, 48, said he was resigning immediately to spare
his wife and children more public embarrassment. In a written
statement, Curtis said, "Events that have recently come to light have
hurt a lot of people. I sincerely apologize for any pain my actions
may have caused."

Curtis, a Republican, told a newspaper in his southwest Washington
district on Monday that sex was not involved in what he said was an
extortion attempt. He also declared he was not gay.

It's not the only juicy rumor getting ready for prime time:
"Larry Flynt, editor and publisher of Hustler magazine, just told
FOX Business Network's Neil Cavuto that he's "hoping to expose a
bombshell" that will stand "Washington and the country on its head."
Within the next week or two, he says his magazine will expose a sex
scandal of huge proportions involving a prominent United States
Senator. Flynt refused to comment on the Senator's political
affiliation, but alluded that he or she is a Republican."
