...it’s also serious research.” But seriousness didn’t seem to be at the forefront of anyone else’s mind last night. Toscanini’s owner Gus Rancatore presented each of the laureates with samples of ice cream that he jokingly claimed to have been inspired by one jet-setting laureate’s work. Mayu Yamamoto said she had flown all the way from Japan to receive her prize for the discovery of a process to extract vanillin from cow dung. In the chicken-themed “24/7...
...once, students and other Cambridge residents got exactly what they expected from the Harvard Lampoon. The Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine, inducted the co-founders of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream as honorary members yesterday afternoon. To mark the occasion, a local Ben & Jerry’s store gave away 1,000 scoops of ice cream in front of the Lampoon Castle, and Mt. Auburn Street was decorated with several cardboard cow cutouts, a live cow in a trailer, and a Ben & Jerry?...
...months of winter darkness descend over the top of the world, temperatures are falling and the Arctic Ocean is again freezing. But the damage has been done. The National Snow and Ice Data Center reports that just 1.65 million sq. mi. (about 4.3 million sq km) of Arctic sea ice survived the summer's annual melt. That's the smallest amount left over after September since scientists began keeping records. And they estimate the Arctic ice may have shrunk by half since the 1950s. Worse, the melt is accelerating. The Arctic may be ice-free by the summer...
...Dane's grasp of climate science seems shaky at best. The polar bear is far from O.K.: the U.S. Geological Survey reported last month that two-thirds of the population will disappear by 2050 because of shrinking sea ice. But his main argument is still worth considering. Lomborg believes that it would be far too costly to reduce global carbon emissions enough to actually cool the climate. Since warming is coming no matter what we do and poor countries will suffer the most from it, we should instead direct scarce resources to helping those nations adapt to climate change. That...
...shame that our world leaders, faced with an imminent crisis, can think only of their wallets. The rapid melting of the Arctic ice cap is the most obvious consequence of a global climate change that has the potential to cause increases in species loss, infectious disease and extreme weather events. Instead of focusing on how to solve this impending tragedy, politicians are fighting to exploit it. Elina El-Badry Gaithersburg, Maryland...
