But there would still be questions about Britain's role and legacy in Iraq, unresolved by two earlier inquiries. The 2003 Hutton Inquiry restricted its gaze to the circumstances around the death of a British official named David Kelly, who had criticized the government's dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD). A year later, the Butler Inquiry examined the quality of intelligence that informed the government's decision to join the Iraq campaign...

But the role of human-caused climate change in spawning the disasters is simply asserted more often than it's convincingly demonstrated. Critics have huffed that the report features more guesswork than science, ridiculing one calculation that factors in the frequency of earthquakes to determine global warming's impact on weather disasters (the authors do concede a "significant margin of error").

...European Space Agency's (ESA) twin telescopes, named Herschel and Planck, are being carried on an Ariane 5 launcher to take up a vantage point 930,000 miles (1.5 million km) from Earth. From there, they will gaze across the farthest corners of the cosmos to try to learn about the physics and chemistry behind the Big Bang. (See pictures of the Hubble telescope's achievements...
