Most disturbing has been the White House's resistance to any targets or timetables for cutting down on production of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which may lead to global warming. The European Community wants to reduce CO2 emissions to 1990 levels by the year 2000, but America's refusal to go along has effectively stymied the latest round of climate-change negotiations. Environmentalists, and even the conference organizers, argue that the U.S., as the world's largest producer of greenhouse gases, has an enormous responsibility to be cooperative on this issue. The Americans say that adopting specific goals...
...until there is indisputable evidence that serious damage is occurring, it may be much too late to halt the damage. Consider the widespread scientific predictions of global warming from the greenhouse effect. No one knows for sure that anything terrible will happen. ! But humanity has boosted the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by at least 25%. It is reckless to subject nature to such giant experiments when the outcome is unknown and the possible consequences are too frightening to contemplate...
...simple moment on the air or in print framing a tense or breathless or just plain corny "I love you," will cause me to sigh and exhale gallons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere...

They are the best thing to happen to pure carbon since the diamond: 60-atom molecules that are neither pyramid shape (like diamonds) nor hexagonal (like graphite) but spherical, like soccer balls. Captured for the first time in 1991 in computer-generated "snapshots" (seen here with cesium-based handles -- the rabbit ears on top), these namesakes of Buckminster Fuller might someday be fashioned into tiny ball bearings, featherweight batteries or even superconducting wires that are just one molecule thick...
