'Extreme weather' no longer is rare

2014-02-15 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Delaware Onlines: Every now and then the government's timing is just right. The U.S. Senate Homeland Security Committee was on the spot with a Wednesday hearing: "Extreme Weather Events: The Costs of Not Being Prepared."

Mars rover Curiosity, which is now roughly half way to its final destination, has taken a brief pause to look up at the sunsetting sky and take a photo of Earth.

This is only one of a handful of times that Earth has been imaged from more than a few thousand miles away. It's always rather humbling to see Earth -- that mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam -- just sitting there, tiny and insignificant, dwarfed by the grandest of black expanses.
