...University of Kansas, analyzed data from Canadian and European satellites and found that Greenland ice is not just melting but doing so more than twice as fast, with 53 cu. mi. draining away into the sea last year alone, compared with 22 cu. mi. in 1996. A cubic mile of water is about five times the amount Los Angeles uses in a year...
...Ireland’s 2004 ban on smoking in public places. According to the study, pubs in cities without smoking bans had significantly higher levels of fine-particle pollution. The Environmental Protection Agency sets standards for outdoor, but not indoor, air quality; any levels above 301 micrograms per cubic meter are “hazardous.” The average level in smoking pubs was much higher at 340 micrograms per cubic meter. The results “underscore the importance of smoke-free policies,” according to the study’s authors. HSPH Professor...
...awesome work to watch guard over our community,” resident Willie Bloomstein said last night. “I want to thank you on behalf of my family.” Residents raised an uproar last month about the possibility that Harvard would house over 19,000 cubic feet of flammable gasses in its new research lab. “Most of us didn’t understand what that meant and didn’t know what the chemicals were going to be,” said Sheldon Krimsky, who lives in the neighborhood...
Residents sharply questioned University officials last night about the consequences of storing large quantities of flammable chemicals in a new science lab being built directly behind the Science Center. Harvard is seeking a permit from the City of Cambridge to house 19,586 cubic feet of flammable gasses, 24,586 pounds of flammable solids, and 1,080 gallons of diesel fuel in the new Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering (LISE), set to be completed early next year. The permit process requires that Harvard inform nearby residents in the Agassiz neighborhood of its intent to store dangerous chemicals...
...Brotherhood” pipeline. Ever since the downfall of the USSR, former satellite Soviet republics have benefited from heavily subsidized gas prices. Wanting to update Ukraine’s access to “international standards,” Gazprom raised the price of gas from $50 per thousand cubic meters to $230. The more than 400-percent increase was cleverly couched in the Western language of free trade and open international markets...
