"I (have also) heard a good news story last week from a direct witness, Professor Ross Virginia of the Environmental Studies Program at Dartmouth, who is just back from ecological research at McMurdo Station in Antarctica ... He is amazed at the progress the U.S. National Science Foundation has made in cleaning up what should, by international treaty, be kept a pristine site." |
