I've only shown the URL and initial couple of paragraphs below. This
item is truly a refreshing event in a world that recently has seemed to
be showing its darkside! Read this item, enjoy it, and realize that
indeed, the world is not going to the dogs - at least not right away.

World Not Coming to End
We all learned back in high school journalism (which we apparently
haven't
graduated) that the bad or the bizarre is what sells papers. "Cubs Win
World
Series" and "Alien Heads U.S. Global Change Research Program" are much
more captivating than "Tiger Woods Triumphs."
But given the current climate, political and otherwise, the mundane
may in
fact merit headlines. Take, for instance, announcements of planetary
business-as-usual—as in the recent scientific literature reassuring us
that
forecasts of climate catastrophe may have been a bit premature. Or the
fact
that some of the nation's biggest climate mavens have become
increasingly
realistic about the political realities of the Kyoto Protocol and its
semilegitimate offspring created in Bonn last summer. Now that's news.
