...directly would be unreasonably difficult, because of carbon dioxide's sheer ubiquity. In 2000, the U.S. emitted less than 18 million tons of the pollutant sulfur dioxide, chiefly from cars, power plants and factories. In the same year, national CO2 emissions reached nearly 6 billion tons, from virtually every aspect of modern life. Regulating emissions would be like trying to gather up the ocean. In addition, the Clean Air Act technically requires "major" sources of pollutants - meaning those that emit more than 250 tons a year - to acquire costly and time-consuming permits before building or expanding. Again, because carbon...
...cross-cultural exchange between East and West embodied in the interaction between Rudi and a teenaged Butoh dancer named Yu (Aya Irizuki). While Rudi travels to Japan as a way of making amends to his dead wife, it is not until he meets Yu that he learns about an aspect of his wife’s life that had previously eluded him.

I want to demystify them." (See pictures of animated movies, including Waltz with Bashir, the favorite for Best Foreign Language Film...
...unforeseen result: a serious objection by the international community. The Pope should have vetted Williamson more extensively, understanding the great weight of his decision to reinstate him and taking into account the offense to the Jewish community that such a choice would cause. Another troubling aspect of the Pope’s recent course of action is how it reflects a greater rightward movement of the church since Pope Benedict XVI’s election four years ago. While the Pope has made it a priority of his office to heal the schisms within the church, in doing...
