...biggest concession to all industrial burners of fossil fuels raised the national cap on greenhouse gas emissions from the original proposal of 5.7 billion metric tons (BMT) by 2020 to 5.9 BMT. The difference may seem nominal until you consider what the elite scientific body, the International Panel on Climate Change, urges for the same timeline - a cap of at least 1.3 BMT lower. Only then will there be 50% chance of avoiding a major warming...
...would Frey and his acclaimed editor Nan Talese agree to be on such a show? Talese, a longtime titan in the publishing industry, later said she and Frey were duped, that they had been told they would be on the show as part of a panel discussion on "Truth in America."

In any case, it all made for the most spectacular media-élite street brawl since that crazy guy pretended to be Howard Hughes' biographer...

...support of the University’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, FAS continues to pursue a variety of money-saving energy conservation strategies: temperature set-point changes, motion-sensing light switches, light bulb change-outs, and solar panel installations, among others. By lowering the winter heating set-point to 68° and raising the summer cooling set-point to 75°, the FAS will reduce its multimillion-dollar heating and cooling budget by an estimated 3 percent annually. This change has the added benefit of reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by 1,200 metric tons of carbon dioxide...
Strully used a nationally representative and continually updated data set known as the U.S. Panel of Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), which surveys people around the country each year on their employment status and their self-reports of health, among other things. Strully used data from 1999, 2001 and 2003 to track people's job status and the impact on each person's health 18 months later. Since previous studies on employment and health suffered from a chicken-or-egg conundrum - researchers could never be sure whether the stresses and strains of unemployment led to poorer health, or whether people...
