...must spearhead the effort to craft a new, post-Kyoto climate change treaty,” Dedousis said. “The era of unlimited carbon emissions is over...

The toll will be levied on any vehicle emitting more than 225g of carbon dioxide per kilometer (about 13 oz per mile) as well as any cars with engines larger than 3,000cc that were registered before March...
...always be passed off to the next year, the next generation. But not any longer.

What if you and thousands of others at Harvard took just a tenth of a pound more brisket than you managed to eat—you might as well...
