Worldwide temperatures have climbed more than .5?C over the past century, and the 1990s were the hottest decade on record. After analyzing data going back at least two decades on everything from air and ocean temperatures to the spread and retreat of wildlife, the IPCC asserts that this slow but steady warming has had an impact on no fewer than 420 physical processes and animal and plant species on all continents...

But twice I've stopped in Nebraska, which is about as far as you can get in this country from a U.S. Navy ship or any ocean. I was shuttling between Lincoln and Omaha last week for good reason, however. My book, "Big Red," is about the USS Nebraska Trident submarine, and much to the astonishment of my publisher, it's selling briskly in Nebraska. "Big Red" is the nickname of the USS Nebraska, which the sub adopted...
