...partner in crime, Beatrice (Jessie Cohen) is equally confident and effective. Her acid attacks on Benedick melt into real compassion at the appropriate moment. Cohen's prim superciliousness perfectly captures her character...
...EARTH GETS WARMER, WILL THE ICE CAPS melt? That's a matter of hot debate among scientists who worry about possible climatic change. The Antarctic ice sheet alone is larger than the continental U.S. and holds a mass of water that if melted would raise world sea levels by about...
...were it not for a foehn that last year delivered tons of North African desert sand to the Alpine ridges. "This is a common phenomenon," explains climatologist Dreiseitel, "but in 1991 it coincided with a winter that produced little snow, and the coating of sand increased the rate of melt on the high peaks." All over the Alps that summer, glaciers retreated -- including Similaun. Even then, it was only by chance that the world learned of the Iceman. "By the end of September," says Spindler, "he would have been buried under a half-meter of snow. Most probably, he would...
...greening of Mars. The first step, according to one recent study, would be to warm the planet by releasing large amounts of chlorofluorocarbons into the atmosphere. These gases would act like a greenhouse, trapping the sun's heat. As the planet warmed, the polar caps would begin to melt, releasing water vapor and carbon dioxide into the Martian air, thickening it and increasing the greenhouse effect. Eventually the permafrost, where most of Mars' water is locked up, would melt, and rivers and lakes -- if not oceans -- would flow across the Red Planet again...
