Already the hotter climate has increased the range of tropical diseases such as malaria and yellow fever. Other ominous signals from an overburdened planet include falling grain and fish harvests and fiercer competition for scarce water supplies...

Researchers have developed a modified form of interferon called Pegasys that can be taken once a week instead of three times and has fewer, milder and more transient side effects. Best of all, Pegasys is two to five times as effective. FDA approval is expected soon...
