None of this will actually be decided at Bali. Despite the fact that we are rapidly running out of time to cap carbon emissions - the head of the IPCC has said the world has until 2015 at the latest - Bali is just the beginning of the beginning, not the end. As Claussen points out, a successful summit would be one that, counterintuitively, leaves much undecided - while attaching a firm deadline to the end of negotiations, with 2010 as the latest possible date. With the Bush Administration nearing lame duck status, a 2010 deadline would give a new U.S. Administration time...
...politics is not what Sundquist wants to talk about. Wearing a red Mather sweatshirt, a backwards baseball cap, and jeans chopped off at the ankles, he leans back in his chair or slouches until a certain topic—perhaps the “sweet speakers” he promises to get for student use, or his job on Dorm Crew—draws his attention. Then he slams his hand down on the table and nearly shouts in laughter...
Italy's Ducati, which leads the pack in the sport and performance category, will cap production on its $72,500 Desmosedici RR at 1,500. Equipped with a 200-h.p. engine and weighing less than 370 lbs. (168kg), the Desmosedici RR is one of the fastest street bikes on the planet. "Celebrities like motorcycles because they can go out for a ride with a helmet on and no one knows who they are," says Coldwells. It certainly would be easier to escape the paparazzi on one. Jay Leno and Tim Allen both have Ducatis, and Tom Cruise and Nicolas...
...similar to a European Union carbon-trading system that sets limits on greenhouse-gas emissions, allowing companies exceeding those limits to buy "credits" from companies that produce less than their fair share of pollutants. Thus, heavy polluters are penalized (they have to pay for credits to stay within the cap), while greener groups are rewarded (they get paid for being under the cap), and the continent as a whole meets its emission targets...
...Among Republicans, opinions diverge as well. John McCain would support a cap-and-trade system to control emissions, and opposes drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Giuliani and Thompson oppose a cap-and-trade program and support drilling in ANWR. McCain and Giuliani support embryonic stem-cell research while Romney and Thompson do not. While Romney said America “ought to double Guantanamo,” McCain would close it immediately...
