So, they’re not your usual trite. inane, sappy e-cards. Next time someone sends you one of those, reply with one of these. That is, if you really don’t want to hear from them again.

Having actually grown up with a great deal of exposure to Dr Seuss, I can appreciate the odd green eggs and ham pun here and there, but material like this,

THE world’s largest frozen peat bog is melting. An area stretching for a million square kilometres across the permafrost of western Siberia is turning into a mass of shallow lakes as the ground melts, according to Russian researchers just back from the region.

The sudden melting of a bog the size of France and Germany combined could unleash billions of tonnes of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

P2P transmission of new strains of flu = really, really bad in case you haven’t being paying attention (which, let’s face it, is probably the case..)
