Recent scientific studies show that the hot weather in the US of the past decade is not cyclical but related to the burning of fossil fuels. Such findings on climate change make such a policy more vital and urgent.http://news.yahoo.com/8-steps-us-energy-security-131701525.htmlWed, 15 Aug 2012 09:17:01 -0400Christian Science Monitor8-steps-us-energy-security-131701525http://dfw.cbslocal.com/video/7614962-garry-seiths-630-am-weather-report/Wed, 15 Aug 2012 08:30:16 -0400video/7614962-garry-seiths-630-am-weather-report/<p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/jon-stewart-chews-papa-johns-115228290.html"><img src="http://l3.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/j.JL5gkq9OVW24xrUL2P4Q--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTg2O3E9ODU7dz0xMzA-/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/theatlanticwire/Jon_Stewart_Chews_Out_Papa-8c64dc0c6ab488a8c160b54cea81723a" width="130" height="86" alt="Jon Stewart Chews Out Papa John&#039;s" align="left" title="Jon Stewart Chews Out Papa John&#039;s" border="0" /></a>Is paying extra for pizza worth the rising healthcare costs?
