Editorial on government security lapses at Los Alamos
The Providence Journal criticizes lax national security after Los Alamos employees lose two top secret hard drives. It notes slow reporting, compares to library tracking, and questions Energy Secretary Richardson and the Clinton administration’s handling of security breaches across White House vetting, CIA, State Department, and Energy. It calls Congress to demand immediate protective actions.

Climate Change Impacts on the United States report warns of rising heat
A federal climate assessment projects the United States may see a 5 to 10 degree Fahrenheit temperature rise over the next century with more heat waves shifting rainfall patterns and sea levels. While some regions may gain, others will suffer, and wildlife ecosystems face acute vulnerability. The study, by 300 experts using state of the art models, urges emissions reductions now to avoid worst outcomes. Richard Mott of World Wildlife Fund and John Carlisle of The National Center for Public Policy Research comment on policy implications.

Blame it on sun not manmade gas
The piece argues against man made global warming warnings tied to a federal climate assessment. It cites NASA Hansen projections that misfired, notes satellite data showing no warming since 1979, and asserts sea level rise is natural, not driven by greenhouse gases. It concludes heat is from the sun, not human emissions.
