Like Charley, Frances has suddenly begun togain strength. It is a Category 4 hurricane at present, andfears are that it will become a Category 5 storm if it doesnot make significant landfall before it reaches Florida.

Last year, carbon dioxide levels measured in Hawaii rosetwice as fast as expected. For Whitley Strieber’s view of the rapid changes nowovertaking us, readWhitley’s Journal.
