...group Hamas, which controls Gaza, opposes a peace deal and is gaining power from Abbas and launching attacks on Israel with greater frequency, taking advantage of public skepticism there for any kind of peace agreement. The U.S. has tried to rally Arab pressure on Hamas, only to see it grow stronger...
...Jones family dog; Mutt's just extending the breed.) He enters on a motorcycle, in the leather-jacket regalia Marlon Brando sported in The Wild One, and soon displays some of the athletic skills he must have inherited from his absent dad. Whether the smooth-visaged LaBeouf can grow into Ford's craggy machismo - or even whether he can top the teen Indys that have been played by River Phoenix (in The Last Crusade) and Sean Patrick Flannery (in the TV series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles) - is a question later Indy installments will have to answer...
Presenting in China will be a challenge, and not just because Francis will have to make use of a translator.

We think of greenhouse gas emissions as something perhaps easy to limit - just get those better lights and better cars. But for China, those vastly accelerating greenhouse gas emissions are just another measurement of how life is getting better for more and more Chinese...
...Americans grow more green-minded, more of them want to approach environmentalism in concrete terms. Thanks to websites like Carbonrally, one increasingly popular way to do so is by measuring and measurably reducing our carbon footprints--the greenhouse gases we're responsible for emitting. The more dependent we are on fossil fuels, the bigger our carbon footprints; unsurprisingly, Americans, who are responsible for more than 20 tons of CO2 per capita annually, have some of the biggest feet in the world. How big? A recent study by a class at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that even a homeless...
...solution to global warming requires international cooperation, and yet, such cooperation may be unrealistic. China and India are not likely to turn down the opportunity to grow in the present in order to contribute to a solution in the future. A potential means to induce the cooperation of economically-expanding China and India is to financially compensate the two countries for losses incurred as a result of environmental conservation. The system could be sustained by a common pool comprised of money contributed by members of the developing world; the level of contribution of each country could be assessed in proportion...
