Dear Reader

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Al Gore and to a United Nations panel for their work on global warming with an Indian Scientist who is heading the group.  The Indian climatologist , Rajendra K. Pachauri, said that science had won out over skepticism. Mr. Pachauri said, “The message that it sends is that the Nobel Prize committee realized the value of knowledge in tackling the problem of climate change.” He said the award was an acknowledgment of the panel’s “impartial and objective assessment of climate change.”

On  the home front we are very sad to announce the passing away of a very active leader in the community Vinod Chungi, who was a big part of IAGB and many other activities within the community. We pray for his family and offer our deepest condolences. We will be carrying a tribute for him in our next issue.
