Launch Pad
I have to admit I’ve been a walking zombie the past two days, at least some of the time. I didn’t get enough sleep at Launch Pad (see summaries by Alma Alexander , Mary Robinette Kowal , David Levine as well — other bloggers include Nancy Kress , Jay Lake , Cherryl Floyd Miller , David Marusek , and Deanna Hoak ). The panel on Wednesday about Launch Pad went very well and it seems like I’m much more famous here at the con for the workshop than I am for my science fiction novels. Well, it can’t hurt sales and should help some in the long run, even if that’s not my main claim to fame in the sf community at the end of the day.

Because of global warming, temperatures obviously increase. This has some temporary benefits. For awhile, it will simply mean more time for crops to mature because of a longer growing season. This is especially true of regions where the spring and fall were once quite cool.
Global warming is sure to bring about changes in precipitation. This will lead to changes in the soil moisture. Especially with the severe weather predicted with global warming, rain will come down...
