...viewpoint "Oil is Here to Stay," Peter Huber argues that sufficient supplies of oil exist to quench our thirst indefinitely and that we merely need the political will to extract them. His assessment implies that we should continue our addiction to using fossil fuels without fear of consequence. In fact, we are probably paying for that addiction right now in the form of global climate change. Evidence abounds that the earth is warming?melting ice caps, rising sea levels and perhaps even more intense hurricanes devastating our coasts. Most climate scientists believe the warming is directly related to rising concentrations...
...some 25% of the world's fossil-fuel consumption and the corresponding pollution. Karl M.

...tasting-international.com Have you ever popped the cork on a fine Bordeaux or Chardonnay only to encounter a bitter taste and noxious aroma?

...Ancient Genes The premise of Jurassic Park -- that material from blood cells found in the thorax of a prehistoric fly might be cloned to re-create a living dinosaur -- was echoed eerily in the science journals. Not only did scientists extract bits of DNA from the bone marrow of a 65 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex fossil, but they also recovered intact DNA from an insect trapped in amber back in the Mesozoic era, 130 million years...
