By the way, when is the U.S. going to accept and become a party to the

Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

active peace-keeping forces in operation.

 

2. Credited with negotiating 172 peaceful settlements that have ended

regional conflicts

fair elections

 

4. Development - The system's annual disbursements, including loans and

grants, amount to more than $10 billion.

 

5. UNICEF spends more than $800 million a year, primarily on immunization,

health care, nutrition and basic education in 138 countries.

 

6. UN Human Rights Commission has focused world attention on cases of

torture, disappearance, and arbitrary detention and has generated

international pressure.

 

7. UN Conference eon Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro in

1992, resulted in treaties on bio-diversity and climate change.

 

8. Has helped minimize the threat of a nuclear war by inspecting nuclear

reactors in 90.

 

9. Over 300 international treaties, on topics as varied as human rights

conventions to agreements on the use of outer space and seabed.

 

10. The International Court of Justice has helped settle international

disputes involving territorial issues, diplomatic relations, hostage-taking,

and economic rights.

 

11. The UN was a major factor in bringing about the downfall of the

apartheid system.

 

12. More than 30 million refugees fleeing war, famine or persecution have

received aid from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

 

13. Aiding Palestinian Refugees with free schooling, essential health care,

relief assistance and key social services virtually without interruption.

There are 2.9 million refugees in the Middle East served by UNRWA.

 

14. Alleviating Chronic Hunger and Rural Poverty in Developing Countries,

providing credit that has benefited over 230 million people in nearly 100

developing countries.

 

15. The Africa Project Development Facility has helped entrepreneurs in 25

countries to find financing for new enterprises. The Facility has completed

130 projects which represent investments of $233 million and the creation of

13,000 new jobs, saving some $131 million in foreign exchange annually.

Ya, so well, that AmeriKKKa lost a quarter of a million jobs last quarter

 

And your only 9.45 trillion in debt, with the U.S. dollar growing more

AmeriKKKa doens't even feed itself anymore as it imports more food than it

exports.

NASA finds evidence of widespread Antarctic melting

Last Updated: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 | 10:04 AM ET

 

Rising temperatures two years ago led to widespread melting of snow cover in

west Antarctica, according to scientists examining the impact of global

warming on the icy continent.

 

The melting of snow cover in regions in January 2005 was the most

significant Antarctic melting seen since satellites began observing the

continent three decades ago, NASA said Tuesday.

 

NASA's QuikScat satellite detected extensive areas of snowmelt, shown in

yellow and red, in west Antarctica in January 2005.

(NASA/JPL) It was also the first major melting detected using NASA's

QuikScat satellite, which can measure both accumulated snowfall and

temperatures in various regions.

 

The team of scientists found evidence of melting in regions not normally

affected: up to 900 kilometres inland from the open ocean, farther than 85

degrees south (within 500 kilometres of the South Pole) and higher than

2,000 metres above sea level.

 

QuikScat found maximum air temperatures at the time of melting were

unusually high, reaching more than 5 C in one of the areas. These maximum

temperatures remained above the melting point for approximately a week.

 

The researchers were led by Son Nghiem of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory

and Konrad Steffen, the director of the Co-operative Institute for Research

in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado. They published

their results in a book, Dynamic Planet.

 

"Antarctica has shown little to no warming in the recent past, with the

exception of the Antarctic Peninsula, but now large regions are showing the

first signs of the impacts of warming as interpreted by this satellite

analysis," said Steffen in a statement.

 

"Increases in snowmelt, such as this in 2005, definitely could have an

impact on larger-scale melting of Antarctica's ice sheets if they were

severe or sustained over time."

 

The 2005 melt was extensive enough to create a layer of ice when the water

refroze, but was not long enough for the water to flow to the sea. Steffen

said if enough water from melted snow is created, it could slip through the

cracks of the continent's ice sheets and potentially affect their movement.

 

The Antarctic ice mass is the Earth's largest freshwater reserve, and

changes in its condition can have an impact on sea levels, ocean salinity

and water currents.

 

"We need to know what's coming in and going out of the ice sheets," said

Ngheim.

 

"QuikScat data, combined with data from NASA's IceSat and Gravity Recovery

and Climate Experiment satellites, along with aircraft and ground

measurements, all contribute to more accurate estimates of how the polar ice

sheets are changing."
