That left those following the crime right back where they started. For the 90-agent, Oklahoma City-size FBI contingent assigned to the case, that meant, amid the sand, saguaros and 114-degree heat of the Arizona desert, examining every piece of debris as huge cranes lifted the wreckage, and interviewing every possible witness. The agents projected a certain assurance. "I don't know whether the motive is a disgruntled employee or an act of terrorism--but we will find out," said Robert Bryant, the FBI's top counterterrorism officer. High bureau officials estimated that the case could be wrapped...
...despite Harvard Real Estate's sensitivity towards Cambridge's homeless community, something about the grates is just not right, and all of the parties involved seem to know it. The decision to build the cage was strongly influenced, they say, by the fact that the Holyoke Center's heating system is due to be renovated. This extensive, costly project--which has not yet begun--will greatly increase the efficiency of the heaters, but will also entail the construction of new heat exhaust vents on the roof of the Holyoke Center. The old exhaust vents--those that are now covered...
Unless the world takes immediate and drastic steps to reduce the emissions of heat-trapping gases, says the panel, the so-called greenhouse effect could drive global temperatures up as much as 6 degrees F by the year 2100--an increase in heat comparable to the warming that ended the last Ice Age and with perhaps equally profound effects on climate. Huge swaths of densely populated land could be inundated by rising seas. Entire ecosystems could vanish as rainfall and temperature patterns shift. Droughts, floods and storms could become more severe. Says Michael Oppenheimer, a senior scientist with the Environmental...
...Thus areas that are already prone to flooding might flood more often and more severely, and since water evaporates more easily in a warmer world, drought-prone regions and deserts could become even dryer. Hurricanes, which draw their energy from warm oceans, could become even stronger as those oceans heat...
...remain in their analysis. For example, as the world warms up, it should get cloudier; depending on what sort of clouds predominate, their shadows could offset the warming effect. And nobody knows how the deep ocean currents--which play a major but still murky role in world climate, channeling heat from one part of the globe to another--would respond to global warming...
