On the 30th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, IGN has a list of 100 factoids about the movie.

The National Academy of Sciences wants to put the United States on a low-carbon diet.
That is the underlying message of a hotly anticipated trio of reports requested by Congress and released [5/19/10]. In them, the academy describes an “urgent need” for the nation to trim its greenhouse gas emissions.
The reports say available evidence “makes a compelling case” that climate change is happening now, is largely driven by human activities and threatens the well-being of people today and in future generations.
