...Melissa Carey, a climate-change analyst at the Environmental Defense Fund, says that despite all the greenhouse-gas trading under way, it won't reduce emissions until Kyoto takes effect. "Sulfur dioxide was successful," she says, "because there are huge penalties for failing to comply." One Kyoto provision lets industrialized countries fund carbon-reduction projects in developing countries that do not have emission caps. For example, a U.S. utility may find that cutting its emissions is more expensive than planting a carbon-trapping forest in Bolivia. But until Kyoto is ratified, there won't be any independent verification that...
...reported $50,000 of the $65,000 advance.) While Columbia spent the next two years figuring out how to market him, 50 marketed himself, releasing a bootleg single called How to Rob, in which he fantasized about ripping off every hip-hop star from Jay-Z to Mariah Carey.

Few musicians complain, how-ever, so "I don't think the record companies will get too concerned about it," says Giouw of the IFPI...
...best songs on Charmbracelet and Just Whitney...are covers. Carey does a terrific remake of Def Leppard's Bringin' on the Heartbreak, and Houston turns the cheeseball standard You Light Up My Life into something vaguely moving. Both have succeeded with covers before--Houston famously with Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You, Carey with Journey's Open Arms and her near-cover of Tom Tom Club's Genius of Love. Perhaps when your own life is unbelievable, it's easier to sing as someone else...
