...rate believed over the past 60 million years. When we talk about climate change, we're not just talking about rising temperatures or altered landscapes. We're talking about the end of human civilization as we know it. That's what all those PowerPoint slides in An Inconvenient Truth add up to. That's the truth - that through our day-to-day consumerist lives, we may be creating the conditions for our own end. So, as you can see, it's not the most life-affirming reporting beat out there...
...performance differences on sites like Gmail. It's secure. Pop-up alerts tell you when you're visiting sites suspected of pushing virus-laden software or "phishing" scams--pretending to be, say, your bank, in an attempt to get account information. And with more than 5,000 add-ons to choose from, you can change everything about Firefox from the way it looks to how it behaves. Not a bad deal for free...
Nobody is arguing that the rebuilding effort--which will add as much Class-A office space as exists in all of downtown Atlanta--is simple. But lower Manhattan is in danger of becoming a metaphor for America's sluggish response to our most pressing economic challenges. A recent U.S. Chamber of Commerce report shows a litany of problems: an overloaded rail infrastructure that needs new tracks, signals, tunnels and bridges. Most ports need dredging; almost half of all canal locks are obsolete. While China is spending nearly 9% of its gdp on infrastructure, Americans lose $9 billion a year...
...experiment with the technique, fertilizing about 4,000 sq. mi. (about 10,000 sq km) of ocean. The goal is not to prove that the iron makes the plankton grow but to determine how much carbon this takes out of the atmosphere and for how long. "When we add iron, we create plankton blooms," says oceanographer Ken Buesseler of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, who led an earlier, smaller iron-seeding test, "but a lot of that just dies and decomposes" at the surface. Only when organic matter snows into the deep does CO2 get locked away. Climos...
Crucial in fleshing out Warwick's goals was input from its Council, the university's executive body, drawn largely from professions outside academia. Lay members, many working in business and industry, "add an enormous amount to the institution," says Thrift. Indeed, many U.S. and U.K. universities pack their governing bodies with external members; the LSE, for instance, "is, technically speaking, a company," says Howard Davies, its director. "The university has always had something like a corporate board...
