DIED. CHARLES DAVID KEELING, 77, tenacious climate scientist and conservationist whose precise measurements of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over five decades became the undisputed basis for global-warming concerns; of a heart attack; in Hamilton, Mont. Although many had previously assumed that the oceans and plants would absorb all the gas emissions from cars and factories, his so-called Keeling Curve, which since the mid-1950s has charted steady increases in carbon dioxide in the air, clearly linked the pattern to humans' increased consumption of fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide when burned...
...that the sin of slavery was shared by North and South. "Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other ... let us judge not that we be not judged." In the largest sense, Lincoln's empathy allowed him to absorb the sorrows and hopes of his countrymen, to sense their shifting moods so he could shape and mold their opinion with the right words and the right deeds at the right time...

Although many had once assumed that the oceans and plants would absorb all the gas emissions from cars and factories, his so-called Keeling Curve has charted consistent annual increases in carbon dioxide in different locations since the mid-1950s?a pattern clearly linked to humans' increased consumption of fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide when burned...
...only be a matter of time before two such lovably independent cusses get together to make the rest of us ashamed of our hasty and thoughtless ways. The question is, How much time do we need to absorb the splendid example they set? Given the simple schematics of their characters and story, not very much. The only bar to their happiness is the reappearance in Emma's life of her shiftless former husband Bobby Jack (Brian Kerwin), who represents bad values as plainly and as boringly as they represent good ones. But Director Martin Ritt seems to labor under...
...reducing dependence on oil. Mexico needs to develop very aggressively its capacity to export goods other than oil. We need foreign investment to increase export capacity and [to enable us] to absorb modern technology. This goal requires considerable internal efforts and a climate abroad that will encourage investments in export products. No matter how hard we try in Mexico to increase exports, if the large markets do not give access to our export goods, the investor will not feel sufficiently encouraged to make the investments...
