...green cocktail dresses worn by countless exhibition assistants, the message is hammered home that the industry has staked its economic future on the green revolution. The transformation has been swift. Only a few years ago automakers sued California and Rhode Island to stop governors from imposing local limits on carbon dioxide emissions, and they have lobbied hard against the European Union's efforts to legislate emission standards from Brussels...
Betty McEntire, executive director of the American SIDS Institute, says the study is useful for underscoring the link between SIDS and rebreathing or overheating. "We know that increased carbon dioxide can hurt the baby's ability to arouse during sleep," says McEntire. "So you definitely want to prevent your baby from rebreathing and overheating...
...only found in captivity - until it was successfully reintroduced into the wild by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service between 1991 and 2008. Conservationists did the same work in Mongolia, where they successfully reintroduced wild horse to the steppes of Central Asia. And new techniques - like selling the carbon sequestered in standing forests as a way to fight climate change - offer the potential for game-changing new sources of revenue for conservation. Altogether, the IUCN assessment estimates that 5% of currently threatened mammals are showing signs of recovery. But that's just a drop in the bucket compared...
...baby was already in a good sleeping environment, there wasn't very much chance they were 'rebreathing,'" says Dr. De-Kun Li of Kaiser Permanente's Division of Research and a co-author of the study, referring to the re-inhalation of carbon dioxide that is associated with sudden unexplained death. "So it's not surprising that adding a fan, or not, didn't make that much difference...

(180-kg) dead-weight battery, it may even wind up using more fossil fuel and costing more to run than a normal car - with no compensating reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
