Americans are paying 12% more at the gas pump then they did just one month ago. At $2.80 a gallon, gas prices are up over 30 cents in just 30 days. Such a rapid rise in prices is sure to cause alarm, yet according to search term data, we aren't fazed. Last week's Web searches for General Motors' Hummer outnumbered Toyota's signature hybrid, the Prius, by more than...
...leaves bloody anarchy in the Niger Delta, which produces most of Nigeria's 2.5 million bbl. of oil a day and increasing volumes of gas. At least 1,000 people a year are killed in battles on land and sea between the 50-odd militias who fight the authorities as well as each other for opportunities to steal oil and kidnap oil workers for ransom...
...echoed by Ali Larijani, Iran's top nuclear negotiator and head of the Supreme National Security Council, who is regarded by diplomats in Western capitals as a moderate.

The head of Iran's atomic energy organization, Reza Aghazadeh, added to the confusion on Tuesday, claiming that Iran planned...

Ahmadinejad had been expected to boast of this expansion from a 328-centrifuge pilot operation last Feb. 11, as Iran celebrated the 28th anniversary of its revolution...
...IPCC had concluded in February that greenhouse gas emissions from human activity were "very likely" the chief driver of global warming, and Friday's report dealt with its human and ecological impact. But clashes between scientists and political officials over its wording almost prevented the report from being published on schedule. Countries such as China, Russia and the U.S. reportedly pushed to water down the IPCC's predictions, while the scientists whose work formed the backbone of the report fought back in an all-night session preceding Friday's release...
