CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -
While man made global warming may be still a topic for hot debate, it's hard to argue, that whatever the cause, there is change transpiring in our atmosphere and environment.
A great many (not all) glaciers are in retreat around the world. And now another measure of change, sea ice in the Arctic Circle, is at its lowest coverage level since satellites have kept a watchful eye on the pack ice.
Now that's only the past 30 years, a blink of an eye in "Earth time," but a very important trend for scientist to track.

Just think, the shells from the clams used to make your clam chowder may have been used to help scientists learn more about how the climate has changed over the past millennium.

The Weather Channel has announced that they are going to start "Naming" winter storms. At first you may ask, "they name hurricanes, why not all storms?"

These are some of my favorite clouds. No, they are not "special effects" from the latest Spielberg movie, and no, they are not real U.F.O.'s - although they are often mistaken for them!
