...moral principle.... The higher moral principle, I believe, is not hurting people. And when you confess to having an affair, you are hurting someone more than you can ever imagine. So I tell people, if you care that much about honesty, figure out who you want to be with, commit to that relationship and devote the rest of your life to making it the most honest relationship you can. But confessing your affair is the kind of honesty that is unnecessarily destructive. There are two huge exceptions to not telling: if you're having an affair and you haven...

...vague promise to cut emissions more than four decades from now is unlikely to unleash the kind of economy-changing investments needed to truly combat climate change. "It says nothing specific about what the developed countries will do between now and 2020, and says that developing countries should commit to binding measures in a new treaty," says Philip Clapp, deputy managing director of the Pew Environment Group.

...high on the agenda at the G8, where leaders from the world's biggest economies, along with representatives from major developing nations like China and India, will try to set a long-term goal for reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. Speaking in Tokyo, Blair urged world leaders to commit to cutting global carbon emissions 50% by 2050 - including developing nations, which have no obligations under Kyoto - and paving the way toward a firm interim target for cuts by developed nations by 2020.
