That's a start, and all of course lead to a wealth (or tsunami, depending on your perspective) of many other pertinent environment-related articles. Thanks to Gordon and Dara Ulmer of San Marcos, TX (Texas State U) for posting previous links that directed me to this website. There is, of course, more information than any one of us could hope to keep up on in a single lifetime, but that also means there's lots of material for everyone who's interested in what's happening in the world today.
Other good sites...
