...emissions and steadily increase the number of "blue sky days," a target based on air pollution levels. But earlier this year an American environmental consultant accused the city of dropping air monitoring stations from highly polluted areas out of the calculations and adding numbers from new stations in cleaner areas. The consultant, Steven Andrews, also says that the city has had a disproportionate number of days falling just below the cutoff for a blue sky day, which suggests the numbers have been massaged...

Learning from Saturday’s finish of the strength of Washington’s sprint in the last 500 meters, Harvard pushed itself to create a strong advantage from the start, beginning the race with a cleaner start and upping the stroke rating up to 36 from the 34 they raced at in the prelims. “We had a sort of relaxed sense of power,” Morgan said. “We were in control of ourselves and we knew that Washington would...

It turns out that the carbon lost when wilderness is razed overwhelms the gains from cleaner-burning fuels. A study by University of Minnesota ecologist David Tilman concluded that it will take more than 400 years of biodiesel use to "pay back" the carbon emitted by directly clearing peat lands to grow palm oil; clearing grasslands to grow corn for ethanol has a payback period...
