...been essentially undone, and that before the world goes any further in considering action to control greenhouse-gas emissions, all scientific evidence for warming must be reevaluated. Jones' e-mail about Mann's "trick" appears to indicate that climate researchers have been actively manipulating scientific data to better fit their models on climate change, while other e-mails seemingly confirm what skeptics had long suspected - that the globe in recent years wasn't warming as fast as theories on climate change had assumed. Most of all, the tone of the CRU e-mails suggests that climate scientists are mired...
Meanwhile, the number of dogs from the raid that are fit for adoption is turning out to be much higher than expected. When the animals were seized, the Humane Society anticipated that most of them would have to be put down because of their injuries or their temperament. In fact, more than half the adult dogs and almost all the puppies are still alive nearly five months later. About 200 have been placed in private homes or in rescue programs like McBee's. But that still leaves more than 100 dogs in kennels at the warehouse. (See pictures from...
...matter what document was signed in China's Great Hall of the People. Environmentalists cried foul over plans to deposit mine waste in the sparkling Basamuk Bay, while local workers protested conditions that even P.N.G.'s Minister for Labor and Industrial Relations David Tibu described as slavelike and "not fit for pigs or dogs."

At the same time, anger has boiled over because of an influx of thousands of Chinese who over the past couple of years have...
...tends to the maximalist in a country that until recently saw things in black and white. But at the heart of the hysteria about Zuma was genuine concern about whether a man who had faced trial for both rape (he was acquitted) and corruption (the charges were dropped) was fit for office. So many African liberation movements have gone from triumph to tyranny, hope to corruption. Even with the saintly figure of former leader Nelson Mandela in the wings, would Zuma and his party, the African National Congress (ANC), do the same? (See pictures of South Africa after 15 years...
...critique of the hypocrisy inherent in “Christian charity” (obviously, they don’t want the strange man-bat creature to attend their special revival weekend) or as the painful journey to ignore one’s inner animal instincts and just fit in. Even more strangely, it could be seen as a story of love: the failed love of Dr. and Mrs. Parker or the bizarre romance that develops between Shelley and Edgar. The first act, though entertaining for the most part, drags on, as it is merely a set up for the surprisingly...
