...answer is to adapt the way we practice wildlife and land conservation to climate change. There's a term for this - adaptive management - and last week the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, a Cambridge-based think tank, brought together conservation leaders from around the U.S. to discuss how to cope with warming. Led by James Levitt, the director of the program on conservation innovation at Harvard Forest, dozens of executives from groups like the National Wildlife Federation and the Nature Conservancy, along with a few representatives from the government, tried to work out a new framework for the biggest challenge...
...some degree, it did. Obama won kudos from many within the black community, and certainly beyond it, for not immediately and entirely distancing himself from Trinity.

Yet not only will he leave the White House without having broken ground on a zero-emissions power plant, but his Administration once again put off the initiative in January. Why? Persistent failure...
...simple answer to our tax-system chaos is to abolish the IRS and adopt the Fair Tax. If everyone "who stays in America pays for America," there would be no reason to fund bloated federal bureaucracies to pursue tax scofflaws. Every person would pay 23% on every new car, suit, pair of shoes, radio or home. In return, individuals and companies would pay no income tax.
