...paying for that addiction right now in the form of global climate change. Evidence abounds that the earth is warming?melting ice caps, rising sea levels and perhaps even more intense hurricanes devastating our coasts. Most climate scientists believe the warming is directly related to rising concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide that have resulted from burning fossil fuels like petroleum. Instead of increasing our addiction to damaging fossil fuels, we should develop the political will to reduce our use. Alan F.

...long oil reserves are going to last is beside the point. The important question is how long we can afford to burn fossil fuels without considering the long-term consequences of the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Huber, like many of his compatriots, doesn't seem to give a damn about that, although he acknowledges that the U.S. government does. Washington should do more, since the U.S. is responsible for some 25% of the world's fossil-fuel consumption and the corresponding pollution. Karl M. Ortner Vienna...

Goin' Coconuts Inventor: Greg Haggquist, Traptek Availability: January 2006, shirts and shorts, $150 each To Learn More: cannondale.com Cannondale's upcoming Carbon LE line of cycling wear is cut from a new kind of cloth: moisture-wicking, odor-absorbing, UV-ray-protective polyester. What makes it so? Carbon from coconuts. The husks are heated to 1,600°F; the activated carbon (also found in water and air filters) is infused into yarns that make up the material. The carbon particles, kept activated by a patented process, create a porous surface that traps nasty smells and harmful rays and causes...
