glaciologists from ohio state university have been studying the ice fields in peru.
tropical peru is home to ice formations 18,000 feet up in the quelccaya region, the largest of these tropical region ice sheets.. the glacier is melting so quickly that plant samples are having to be frozen artifically so that scientists 30 years from now can have something to study, lonnie thompson from the university said in the interview.
the ice field is the smallest it has been since the last ice age.. peruvians rely on the water from the glaciers, which will be reduced by 50% in their lifetime.
It is from The Economist.
No. It is from the rag Daily Mail:

You and your graphs have been pantsed again. Honesty is a better policy. And less embarrassing.

what did maggie thatcher and jimmy saville have in common...
Seems Maggie kept questionable company.

she took no s***T from knowone and dragged Britten kicking and screaming into the 21st centery.
if nothing else she was controversial.
Dragged Britten into the 21st century? Wha'? Do you mean Britney Spears? Thatcher quit (in tears) in 1990 - the 20th century (or centery).
Yes, she was controversial - so was Hitler.
i consider myself more a "moderate" in my thinking, whether it be politically or otherwise..
I consider myself a fiscal liberal, socially moderate.

designs said, and it bears repeating:
Thatcher like Reagan unleased the monsters of deregulation and it does goose the economy until the financial gougers and malfeasance hits that predictable wall like our economy did in the late 1980s-early1990s.
Good article, konceptual.

why don't you give us an idea of how the UK, and indeed the Western world,would be today if Mrs. Thatcher hadn't ruled as Prime Minister.
Best ask the people of Chile who endured a military dictatorship run by Maggie's good friend Augusto Pinochet.
Also, ask the people of South Africa; Maggie referred to Nelson Mandela as a "terrorist" and opposed economic sanctions on the apartheid regime. (Any Mandela fans here? Mandela must be smiling to himself right about now.)
Ask the people of Northern Ireland about peaceful, freedom-loving coexistence while you're at it.

Her death is not exactly the drop of a hat - there have been songs written in anticipation of this event. The Brits (and the Irish) don't have to be liberal to hate Thatcher. And they hate her not for a political label, but for what she did with her power.
As konceptual99 said (and it bears repeating):
she ruined the lives of millions of British people. She viewed the suffering of the working class as collateral damage, a necessary side effect of the smashing of the unions and socialist policy in general. Her policies run deep and are in evidence today - once again to the point where those in need are forced to bear the brunt of the pain of financial policies that favour the haves.
There are many places in the UK that will never view Thatcher as anything other than a disaster for them and their community.

Everyone wants to be immortal. Few are. Mrs. Thatcher is. Why?Because her values are timeless, eternal. Tap anyone on the shoulder anywhere in the world, and ask what Mrs Thatcher “believed in,” and they will tell you. They can give a clear answer to what she “stood for.”Hitler, too. Also.
