...significant? Davis and his co-author Ken Caldeira estimate that 23% of global CO2 emissions - about 6.2 billion metric tons - are traded internationally, usually going from carbon-intensive developing nations like China to the comparatively less carbon intensive West. In a few rich nations, such as France, Sweden and Britain, more than 30% of consumption-based emissions could be traced to origins abroad; if those emissions were tallied on the other side of the balance sheet, it would add more than four tons of CO2 per person in several European nations...
...effect in the U.S. is less extreme because the country exports more than Western Europe and because the U.S. economy has a higher carbon intensity - but it made a difference. Imports accounted for 10.8% of U.S. carbon emissions, enough to add an additional 2.4 metric tons of CO2 per person. China, of course, fell into the opposite camp: 22.5% of the carbon emitted in China is actually exported to other countries, reducing its per capita carbon footprint from 3.9 tons to 3 tons.

...shows that while Beijing may be leading the world in carbon emissions, that output is in large part due to the fact that it is using energy to make clothes, cars and toys for the rest of us. It also demonstrates that Europe - whose per capita carbon footprint is less than half that of the U.S. - essentially imports some of its green virtue from abroad by outsourcing its carbon emissions. "It does shrink the gap somewhat between the U.S. and Europe," says Davis...
Older women also enjoy the sex they do have far less than older men. Married women ages 57 to 64 who haven't been divorced or widowed report having about as much sex as married men in the same age group. But while 77% of partnered men in that age group say they are interested in sex, only 36% of partnered women report the same interest. These figures suggest that a lot of older women may be having sex when they don't really want...
...attitude would not be possible without Harvard’s amnesty policy regarding alcohol. Found in the student handbook, the amnesty policy states that any student brought into UHS for alcohol-related illness, along with any students assisting them, will not receive disciplinary action. Because of this, students are less likely to fear punishment, which minimizes alcohol-related injury and death. Thus, Harvard’s amnesty policy deserves praise...
