GLOBAL WARMING MAPS: Early Warning Signs
The map of early warning signs clearly illustrates the global nature
of climate changes. In its 2001 assessment, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that, "an increasing body of
observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other
changes in the climate system."
While North America and Europe—where the science is strongest—exhibit
the highest density of indicators, scientists have made a great effort
in recent years to document the early impacts of global warming on
other continents. Our map update reflects this emerging knowledge from
all parts of the world.
Although factors other than climate may have intensified the severity
of some of the events on the map, scientists predict such problems
will increase if emissions of heat-trapping gases are not brought
under control. http://www.climatehotmap.org/index.html

# Special benefit screening for the SF Bay Area Independent Media Center
http://www.indybay.org *ABOUT BAGHDAD* Sun Nov 21 7:30 p $5
@ Station 40 3030b 16th St (& Mission), directly across from BART
In July 2003 Sinan Antoon, an exiled Iraqi writer and poet, returned to
Baghdad to see what has become of his city after wars, sanctions,
decades of oppression and violence, and now occupation. Antoon takes
journey exploring what Iraqis think and feel about the post-war situation
and the complex relationship between the US and Iraq.
About Baghdad is a journey into the hearts and minds of the hundreds of
Iraqis we encountered in Baghdad. In the simmering heat of Baghdad’s
summer, Iraqis, of various ethnic and political backgrounds and
orientations, speak of past horrors and present fears.
Reflections on the traumatic legacy of dictatorship, sanctions and war,
also reflect resilience and humanity of a people who were, for decades,
dehumanized and disappeared behind Saddam’s image. From poets to
politicians, cabbies to communists, a retired senior citizen to an
American soldier at Bremmer’s HQ, "About Baghdad" navigates the dire,
and oft misunderstood and misrepresented, straits separating, yet
involving, both Iraqis and Americans.
