DIED. CHARLES DAVID KEELING, 77, tenacious climate scientist and conservationist whose precise measurements of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere over five decades became the undisputed basis for global-warming concerns; of a heart attack; in Hamilton, Mont. Although many had previously assumed that the oceans and plants would absorb all the gas emissions from cars and factories, his so-called Keeling Curve, which since the mid-1950s has charted steady increases in carbon dioxide in the air, clearly linked the pattern to humans' increased consumption of fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide when burned...

Although many had once assumed that the oceans and plants would absorb all the gas emissions from cars and factories, his so-called Keeling Curve has charted consistent annual increases in carbon dioxide in different locations since the mid-1950s?a pattern clearly linked to humans' increased consumption of fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide when burned...

...legacies of today's world. Human overpopulation, hunting, poverty and ignorance - along with the horrendous practice of buying and selling animal parts - have proved to be obstacles too tough to overcome, even for creatures as magnificent as the big cats you pictured. Every solution mentioned by the scientists and conservationists is worth trying. We owe these animals our best efforts. Gillian Beach Cieri West Palm Beach, Florida, U.S. I don't understand why we should protect and save the big cats, which are fierce man-eaters, while we kill and eat cattle, which are innocent grass eaters.
