...Cutting Carbon Emissions: Idea No. 52? You listed "51 Things We Can Do" to make a difference [April 9]. In my workplace, a green proponent started a campaign to do away with paper cups and get everyone to use coffee mugs. While convenience will take precedence over environmental correctness more often than not, it is heartening to see such issues come to the fore. Someday, Time will insist that letters to the editor be sent only by e-mail. Vivek Mehrotra, Santa Clara, California...

Now it is time for the big thinkers' geo-engineering proposals to be brought into the frame, not to substitute for carbon dioxide reductions but to run in parallel with them.

The officer met with the reporting party who stated that while working in the building they smelled a strong odor and began to feel sick so they pulled the fire alarm to evacuate the building. Cambridge Fire Department tested the air quality which came back negative for carbon monoxide and deemed the building safe for re-entry. The reporting individual was treated by EMTs with oxygen on the scene and refused any further...
There is reason to be optimistic. Government regulations—unlike new Arctic forests—on carbon emissions would curb global warming. Restrictions on carbon dioxide pollution would, in turn, spur technological innovation and reward those who use energy more efficiently and help others to as well. The IPCC estimates that if we don’t address climate change, we’ll see worldwide losses of one percent to five percent GDP by the end of the century. Even modest economic investment now in cleaner technologies will yield enormous benefits for our children?...
