...National Wetlands Coalition, a big-biz coalition against wetlands, and the Global Climate Coalition. The cover of this last org has been blown for some time. It's a consortium including oil and car companies that are mightily interested in stalling enactment of the Kyoto accords on carbon-dioxide emissions. Will a high school student patching together a paper on global warming buy the GCC's line, which says go slow because scientists disagree? Or click further and discover that, no, scientists really don't disagree; that 2,500 of them say Earth is in a period of potentially dangerous...

...cuts down on greenhouse gases is good news," he says. In his redesign of the Reichstag, the seat of German government in Berlin, Foster has carried this out to an extraordinary degree. He noted that the old Reichstag, heated and cooled by fossil fuels, produced 7,000 tons of carbon dioxide a year. Foster came up with a system of "driving the building" with renewable vegetable oils, such as rapeseed, for fuel. Its CO2 emissions have dropped 94%, to 440 tons a year. The waste heat is converted into cooling capacity, and the small heat surplus is dumped into aquifers...
...replication. In the double helix, a single strand of genetic alphabet--say, CAT--is paired, rung by rung, with its complementary strand, GTA. When the helix unzips, the complementary strand becomes a template; its G, T and A bases naturally attract bases that amount to a carbon copy of the original strand, CAT. A new double helix has been built...
