...container is sealed. This can be done most effectively by boiling under pressure, though some foods are pickled, salted or smoked.

...land mass above which a thick icecap can form. During relatively nonglaciated periods such as the present, Dr. Wilson calculates, ice builds up on Antarctica, and the southern icecap reaches higher and higher. The top of the ice remains very cold, but the bot om is warmed slightly by heat escaping from the interior of the earth. Finally, the combined effect of pressure from the thickening cap and geothermal warming below melts the ice at the bottom. This frees the polar icecap from friction with underlying rock. It begins to spread out over the surrounding ocean as a floating...
...maximum, figures Dr. Wilson, the ice shelf covers 10 million square miles of ocean, and its white surface reflects so much sunlight that the earth's heat input is reduced by 4%. The earth's general temperature falls a few critical degrees, and ice sheets begin to grow larger in the Northern Hemisphere too. The bigger they get, the more solar energy they reflect back into space, and the colder the earth becomes...
Spiraling Cost. Approached by a giant horseshoe driveway bordered by artificial ponds, the mansion glistens by day with $1,000,000 worth of solar screens intended to reflect the sunlight and reduce heat, and by night is an explosion of brilliance, studded from top to bottom with dazzling fluorescent lights that are said to attract most of Monrovia's flies.

Such lavish accouterments plus some eyebrow-raising financing methods explain why the cost...
