Notable journalist and author Gwynne Dyer spoke about climate change last Friday at the University of Lethbridge. His initial discussions about climate change were that the public does not understand how fast approaching global warming is. "When you talk to the scientists now, they're frightened," says Dyer. "There is an undercurrent of panic in many conversations you have." "It is their perception that changes in global warming are proceeding faster than their models predicted." In September 2005, scientists measured a drastic increase in the melting Arctic ice. "Predictions by reputable scientists say we could have an ice-free Arctic as early as 2013." Dyer's says that many people will suffer Photo by Marika Stevenson from starvation and war due to global HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES: (from left) Mike Howard, Greg Moore, Ryan McKeown, Nick Kuhl and Travis Ball enjoy the last few warming. nice days of fall over the weekend, with a game of shirts and skins.

Credit cards with microchips are soon to require a PIN to verify identification. Credit cards get security boost Kevin Lloyd Endeavour Staff

Credit cards will soon come equipped with an extra layer of authentication to make transactions more secure and help prevent fraud. The same technology has been used in Europe, specifically France, for nearly two decades, and Canada has finally decided to follow suit. For the last several years, credit cards have only required you to swipe, show identification, and sign in order to make a purchase. Most places don't even check for ID.
