...Flight Plan With fuel costs at an all-time high, Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, which will go into production next year, will be taking off at just the right time. Thanks to advanced engines and a body that's 50% lightweight carbon-fiber composite, the 787 uses 20% less fuel than similar-size planes yet has the range of much larger jets. It also promises greater passenger comforts. Cabin pressure will be closer to sea level, easing pressure buildup in the sinuses and ears. Humidity will be set at 15% to 20%, rather than around 5%. And instead of pulldown...
...said, "The increased activity since 1995 is due to natural fluctuations and cycles of hurricane activity driven by the Atlantic Ocean itself along with the atmosphere above it and not enhanced substantially by global warming." You should have quoted him in a story that discusses the question of whether carbon dioxide emissions and the greenhouse effect are making hurricanes worse...
...scientists used geochemistry to analyze past climatic conditions and compare them to the present. The exhibit, Schrag said, “gives you a little bit of a different perspective. [It] looks at climate change as a planetary experiment.” Schrag said that because the emission of carbon dioxide is a “human experiment,” studying greenhouse gases should be treated like studying the effects of an experiment instead of a natural occurrence. While the exhibit itself invites visitors to draw their own conclusion, Schrag has already developed a somewhat grim prognosis. While...
...Haven't there been enough warnings about global warming in the past few years, with more droughts, more floods and more disasters predicted if we don't start taking care of the environment? And what about the meeting in Kyoto at which all nations were urged to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and greenhouse gases? Didn't President Bush say the U.S. would not sign the Kyoto Protocol because it would hurt the U.S. economy too much? How many Hurricane Katrinas will it take to make the U.S., the world's biggest emitter of pollutant gases, figure out what...
