There's a newly discovered piece of land in Greenland, according to The New York Times. It's one of the new islands being found around the Arctic as shoreline glaciers melt away. This new island in Greenland was first noticed in 2005. Old maps show it as part of an ice-covered peninsula. No longer.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

20 foot sea level rise? Let's see- my house is 2 miles from the Pacific at 33 foot MSL. Hmmm...

rising seas: With the price of real estate in places like NYC and Tokyo, I can't believe we're not doing something more proactive about this.

    Hey now, hush up! If we refuse to reverse the trend and allow the ice caps to melt, global sea level will rise about , what... 250 - 300 feet? That'll put the beach a whole lot closer to my house, and get rid of some of that durned riff-raff that's on the barrier islands now! Also, with the new ice age it would surely trigger (dang, the beach is gonna go away again) it'll mean year-round skiing in the south. Yahoo!

    Does Halliburton have a no-bid contract out for those chair lifts yet? (lol)
