...city is like most others--mad about cars, paralyzed by car traffic, its air made unbreathable by cars and its municipal life dying of cars. If this were all, the moral would be simple: avoid Bangkok. Yet cars there, and across Europe and especially in the U.S., are efficient carbon generators. And carbon dioxide is the main ingredient in the greenhouse shield that is warming the globe and adding furious energy to epochal storms and floods...
...MIMID MINIATURE MINE DETECTOR With 70 million land mines buried out there, this sleek, telescopic diviner with its Miesian line couldn't have arrived sooner. Created by Gerhard Heufler, its carbon and glass fiber-reinforced plastic body comes in basic GI Joe green, weighs 3 lbs. and quickly collapses into a small backpack for transporting to remote areas. The controls take just a few minutes to master. This is good design with a good purpose...
They shatter a wine glass with a high pitch sound, use a ripple tank to demonstrate wave interactions and blast off across the lecture hall in a carbon dioxide-propelled rocket. Who are the people who perform these spectacular demonstrations during science lectures...
...meet its global warming commitments even if it wanted to. The government's Energy Information Agency this week released its 1999 Annual Energy Outlook, which suggests that complying with the Kyoto Protocol -- recently signed by the U.S. -- will be almost impossible. The agency projects that by 2010, U.S. carbon gas emissions will have increased 33 percent from 1990 levels; Kyoto requires that they be 5.2 percent below 1990 levels by then. But fulfilling the Kyoto requirements may not even be the administration's intention. "They signed the Kyoto treaty as a freebie," says TIME science editor Phillip Elmer-DeWitt. "They...

According to Evans, the chemical in the bottle should have been stored in a refrigerator, but the label did not specify the temperature of storage. As a result, the chemical was stashed away and, as it decomposed, liberated carbon dioxide built up pressure in the bottle...
