Even in Europe, which has been the world's leader in carbon-cutting, some governments appear to be using the financial situation as an excuse to stand down. In March 2007, European Union members pledged to cut greenhouse-gas emissions 20% below 1990 levels by 2020 - but that was back when the Dow was 25% higher than it is today. Several European nations, including big industrial producers like Germany, are now saying the target is unrealistic, and at an E.U. summit on Oct. 16, some Eastern European countries, which are poorer and more dependent on fossil fuels than their neighbors...

Run like a European university, the University of Tokyo offers no on-campus residences. With up to two hours of commuting time and only final exams counting towards grades, students rarely attend class. Without students physically on campus, it’s no wonder that the sense of community is lacking. If the University of Tokyo...
Joffe claims that Europe has "no will, no purpose, no power," that it does "less than required" and does it "slowly." I find this point of view pretty mistaken since on the day I received that issue of TIME, European leaders decided to put in place a rescue plan that includes lending $2.25 trillion to the European banks.
