Melting Glaciers (and Other News)

with one comment

Here’s a disturbing story from the CBC about Greenland’s melting glaciers. Here’s just one lovely tidbit:

If all of the ice on Greenland melted, it could raise sea levels seven metres. Most researchers say that would take at least 1,000 years, but, they add even half a metre could devastate low-lying countries.

And if anyone’s wondered where I’ve been, well, I’ve been spending the last week at the Banff Centre, working on my second manuscript of poetry. It’s been going quite well. I leave to go back to Athabasca on Sunday.

The only other thing I’ve done is do another editing test for a job I applied for. Let’s hope I get one of them.

  1. Hey Ian,

    And you know, amid scary news like this stuff, there are still fools like these out there:

    Friends of Science my ass. More like “Bribed Friends of the Oil Industry”.

    Good to hear your writing is going well.
