...warming crisis is over. Yup, it is--and it's U.S. industry that solved the problem. Just look at the press releases. Company A is going to cut greenhouse-gas emissions 10% by 2015. Company B will hit 15% by 2020. Company C will soon reach the Nirvana of carbon neutrality. It's like a post-Christmas-day sale, and all carbon dioxide must...
...there's a problem. Despite the flurry of green boasts and sustainability reports, hard numbers on corporate environmental performance remain frustratingly difficult to find. Carbon neutral may be the reigning Oxford Dictionary term of the year, but too few companies can and do size up their carbon footprints accurately. "You have CEOs making commitments on carbon, but they haven't even measured anything yet," says Mike Wallace, a vice president at Trucost, an environmental-research firm based in London. "How can you be carbon neutral without any numbers...
...that the academy is keen to be just a carbon copy of a New England prep school. The campus's Levantine-style white stone buildings - and the tight security at its main gate - remind visitors that they're not in Massachusetts anymore. Arabic-language classes are mandatory, and humanities courses, though though taught in English, draw on the canonical works of many civilizations...
...coal plants to install filters for toxic sulfur dioxide and nitrogen. In Uong Bi, EVN installed filters on the new generator's smokestack - a measure that tea-shop owner Dang says has reduced the black smoke. But even the most advanced technologies can't cut CO2 emissions by much. Carbon sequestration - a proposed method of fighting global warming that siphons off carbon dioxide emissions and pumps them underground - is at least a decade away from large-scale use. "Clean coal is a myth," says Inventor...
...polar bear is far from O.K.: the U.S. Geological Survey reported last month that two-thirds of the population will disappear by 2050 because of shrinking sea ice. But his main argument is still worth considering. Lomborg believes that it would be far too costly to reduce global carbon emissions enough to actually cool the climate. Since warming is coming no matter what we do and poor countries will suffer the most from it, we should instead direct scarce resources to helping those nations adapt to climate change. That means improving health-care systems and aiding economic growth so that...
