Indeed, the Arctic had been cooling for nearly two millennia before reversing course in the last century and starting to warm as human activities added greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

Here's rare good news about an environmental crisis: We dodged disaster with the ozone layer. A NASA study about ozone-munching chemicals from aerosol sprays and refrigeration used a computer model to play a game of what-if. What if the world 22 years ago didn't agree to cut back on chlorofluorocarbons which cause a seasonal ozone hole to form near the South Pole?

Only at the movies (and in old “Hogan’s Heroes” reruns) is it ever permissible to enjoy the company of a Nazi. To be sure, the real Nazis were horrifying death merchants responsible for igniting World War II. But at the movies they become complex psychological portraits or loony B-movie villains or, weirder still, comic relief.

Benno Hansen is the Mugabe of Newsvine, if your interests are socialism, marxism and the restriction of freedom then this is the guy to add to your watchlist.

Benno is one of the most original contributors on Newsvine - and on the web. This guy actually goes places to report about them. He got himself caught in the clash between Danish squatters and police forces during a riot, and he actually went and got a haircut as a Sicilian hitman just to make a point - and write about it in his column. He does what bloggers and citizen journalists should all be doing, and by doing so he makes the web a far more interesting place to be.

Benno knows what he's talking about. He has a true bravery of spirit and body, which informs his skillful and honest writing. If he's not on your watchlist, you're not getting smarter. Period.
