Kuujjuaq, an Eskimo village 1,000 miles north of Montreal, just bought 10 air conditioners. According to the mayor, it's been getting hot lately.
While the spread of air-conditioning may be a bad thing for the environment, Eskimos using it says more about society and economics than it does about the climate.
Also on the climate change beat, Andrew Sullivan says environmentalism is an inherently conservative cause:
The earth is something none of us can own or control. It is something far older than our limited minds can even imagine. Our task is therefore a modest one: of stewardship, the quintessential conservative occupation.
