...Diamond Is Forever Cremation conserves land, so companies have developed ways to reuse remains. LifeGem captures carbon from ashes to create shiny synthetic diamonds that can cost...
...debate on carbon emissions and climate change heats up [Jan. 29], I am amazed that a lot of discussions ignore overpopulation. We have been breeding like locusts, filling every available space and devouring all available resources. The planet simply cannot sustain such population growth. Tackling this problem raises difficult moral, ethical and sociological issues. But if we ignore it, the consequences for humankind are unimaginable...
...Australia produces 550 million tons of greenhouse gases a year. That's a mere 1.5% of world emissions. Australia on its own can have little impact on global warming. But policymakers believe that if the nation can develop a successful local carbon-trading regime, it will become easier to spread such institutions to the rest of the world. Largely because of reduced land clearing, Australia-which did not ratify the Kyoto Protocol-should meet an agreed target (limiting annual emissions from 2008-12 to 108% of 1990 levels). But the challenge beyond then could be formidable, and few people have...
Depending on greenhouse-gas emissions, global temperatures will probably rise between about 2?F and 12?F by 2100. If carbon levels double from the preindustrial norm--which many experts deem very likely--the IPCC predicts a warming of about 5?F as well as longer and more intense heat waves...
Surprisingly, the report suggests that by reflecting solar energy, visible airborne particles like sulfates from coal-burning power plants could actually have a cooling effect. But while better filters are reducing pollution's protective haze, invisible--and harmful--carbon emissions are still on the rise...
