Agreed... and I must say, given that piece of news, I am more worried about stuff like this than I am global warming. Before all you GW/Climate Change gurus go nuts in that, I want to be clear that I am NOT saying we don't need to become smarter about taking care of the planet, rather just pointing out that there are other things out there that pose a far greater danger to us. Yes w can and should do better, but lets not forget that the Sun does a pretty fair job of global warming all by herself.The Gear...

The sun brought us into this world and the sun will take us out of this world...One way or another.

...would it have been more or less newsworthy if the word "nearly" in the title weren't applicable?
