Over at the BBC, they've posted some impressive photo comparisons of different parts of the earth, showing how they look today vs. how they have looked in recent times.

Posted by Jennifer on Friday, February 18 2005, 9:09 AM Category: Pictures Kyoto Protocol implemented Today was the first official day for the Kyoto Protocol, which aims to control carbon emissions and thereby impact global warming. The United States is the world's largest carbon polluter, but has not signed the Protocol. Nonetheless enough of the world's other industrial nations signed on, so the effort will begin at least.
