...shocking study reflects the tremendous gap that exists regarding global warming. On the one hand are the scientists, who with few exceptions think climate change is very serious and needs to be dealt with immediately and ambitiously. On the other side is the public, which increasingly believes that climate change is real and worries about it, but which rarely ranks it as a high priority. A 2007 survey by the U.N. Development Programme found that 54% of Americans advocate taking a "wait and see" approach to climate-change action - holding off on the deep and rapid cuts in global warming...

They hadn't anticipated what early voters might do. Because the woman passed out before inserting her ballot into an electronic tabulator, her vote will be hand-counted. Her political affiliation is not known...
...American account holders. How are you doing in the war against fear? BAIR: We've undertaken a vigorous public education campaign about deposit insurance and our strong record of nobody ever losing a penny on their insured deposits in over 75 years. In terms of bank failures, we have dealt with a lot worse than this. During the S&L days, they were closing one bank a day for a while. As bad as things are, to some extent depository institutions have been a little bit insulated because there is a stronger system of regulation and capital standards...
