...tempting to think of clones as perfect carbon copies of the original--down to every hair and quirk of temperament. It turns out, though, that there are various degrees of genetic replication. That may come as a rude shock to people who have paid thousands of dollars to clone a pet cat only to discover that their new kitten looks and behaves nothing like their beloved pet--with a different-color coat of fur, perhaps, or a completely different attitude toward its human hosts...
...image intended to remind you, as you?re emptying your wallet of $20 bills, that at least you?re supporting a green company. BP, after all, was the first oil giant to publicly acknowledge the risks of global warming, back in 1997. The firm has cut its own carbon emissions 10% below 1990 levels and last year established an alternative energies division. It?s investing big money - $8 billion over the next decade - on renewable fuels, such as wind and solar power. Just last week, BP announced a partnership with DuPont to develop and commercialize advanced biofuels (superior to ethanol...
...image makeover began when James Lovelock-the British scientist whose "Gaia" theory likens the Earth to a living organism-declared nuclear power "the only green solution" to the world's energy needs. The coal-fired power plants that generate 80% of Australia's electricity produce huge quantities of carbon dioxide, which bears much of the blame for global warming. Nuclear plants produce almost no CO2. According to the csiro, replacing three of Australia's 24 coal plants with nuclear ones would cut carbon emissions from power generation by almost...
...technologies will soon make it possible to burn coal-of which Australia has a 300-year supply-with a minimal release of carbon dioxide. Victoria, Queensland and the federal government have pledged almost $A1 billion to develop these technologies, which could make coal-fired plants as greenhouse-friendly as nuclear ones...
...enlarge the entrance, shunt off the water that had once cascaded through the cave and install steps and concrete flooring through much of the underground complex. As many as 1,700 visitors traipsed through Lascaux every day. But by the late 1950s, the presence of so many warm-blooded, carbon-dioxide-exhaling bodies had altered the cave's climate to the point that calcite deposits and lichen were threatening the paintings. By 1963, the threat of permanent damage was so acute that Andre Malraux, France's first and most famous Minister of Culture, ordered the cave closed...
