...This is organic gardening, not rocket science.' RUSS GEORGE, chief executive of Planktos, a California "ecorestoration" company that plans to plant large fields of carbon dioxide-eating plankton at sea-the first this month near the Galápagos Islands and in the South Pacific-to mitigate global warming. Some scientists question the scheme's efficacy, and believe it may even increase greenhouse gases through the organisms' potential release of methane and nitrous oxide...
...fuel-efficient… planes available today,” but the inescapable laws of physics and chemistry make air travel an incredibly energy-intense means of travel. According to data published in the New York Times, a Boeing 747 crossing the Atlantic emits nearly 2,800 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) for each person on board, and USA Today reports that you would have to drive an SUV for a month to emit as much CO2 as a jetliner emits per person on a New York to Denver flight. And because jetliners emit these greenhouse gasses high...
...course, that kind of carbon pricing system is, for the time being, politically and economically untenable in America. But if politicians and the voting public can’t be trusted to change their views, I hope that we potential consumers can at least let Skybus be someone else’s cross-country Fung...

The book is quite different from that famed multimedia presentation of Al Gore ’69, albeit far less authoritative. It features an excellent outline of myriad environmental challenges while making...
...Japanese environmentalists worry that Tokyo is drifting towards Washington's more cautious attitude on taking action over global warming action. A Japanese diplomat who deals in climate change says that Tokyo's priority is to craft a pact that will be acceptable to all major carbon emitters, including the U.S. and China, even if that means going for the lowest common denominator. After all, a global pact on restricting carbon-gas emissions will only work if it has the biggest emitters on board. Japan's objective is to craft a middle way that can bridge the gap between those...
