Do you know whether this prediction is based on a trend analysis of
summer coverage, or based on more complex climate models?
As simple trend analysis does indeed suggest ice free summers by 2015.
However, the fact that Arctic summer ice loss has accelerated during
(i.e.despite) a strong La Nina effect indicates this is more complex.

Everything about the drive train, critical dimensions, torques, etc.,
should be interchangeable with other vehicles in each class so that
drive trains can become mostly aftermarket.
Macs and PCs can use the same printers and monitors so why can't
automakers do the equivalent?
All the automakers need to do is put out a chassis, body, suspension,
some seats and maybe a drive shaft.
Letting automakers near an engine block plant is like letting an
addict near crack cocaine.

World's biggest refinery poised to start in India
Reuters
Wednesday, December 24, 2008
Indraprasth aka New Delhi, Dec 24 (Reuters) - India's
Reliance Industries (RELI.BO) is set to double its capacity
by starting up its new 580,000 barrels per day plant (bpd)
this weekend, creating the world's biggest refinery just as
global oil demand collapses. The $6 billion project will
make the oil complex in Jamnagar in western Gujarat the
world's single biggest supplier of fuels to the global
market, pumping out 1.24 million bpd of ultra-clean fuels
to Europe, Africa and the United States. The project is a
triumph for Chief Executive Mukesh Ambani, who helped break
India's heavy reliance on imported fuel a...
