...controls on carbon dioxide emissions is to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide released. As the cost of something increases, the demand for that same good decreases. As electricity becomes more expensive we will shift sources of power, incurring costs but also stopping climate change, the melting of the polar ice caps...
...body in the hopes that future generations will provide them with such materialistic triflings gratis. Either way you choose, the real problem you face is the freezing procedure itself. Even with the heavy perfusion of anti-freeze into your system, your body is still mostly water, and each polar water molecule is just waiting to partner up with its nearest neighbor in a nice hydrogen bond as the temperature plummets. And as water crystals begin to form they slice and dice their way through your cells, Benihana-ing until they homogenize your now frozen cellular structure. Bummer...
...Arctic Refuge is home to a multitude of polar bears, grizzlies, wolves, caribou and a number of endangered species. Furthermore, it is part of the last 5 percent of Alaska's coastline that is not already open to oil exploration. This magnificent wilderness should not be put in jeopardy for six months worth of oil. It would be horrific if the refuge became a new Prudhoe Bay, a polluted oil field with 1,500 miles of roads and pipelines, 1,400 producing wells and 60 contaminated waste sites...
...refuge is intact, with little more than 1,000 tourists visiting a year. Established by President Eisenhower in 1960 as America's last unspoiled frontier, the area contains large populations of caribou, moose, musk oxen, wolves, foxes, grizzlies and polar bears, along with loons, snow geese and many other species of migratory birds. It was doubled in size, to 19 million acres, by the Carter Administration in 1980. But at the same time, with millions of barrels of oil being extracted from neighboring Prudhoe Bay, Congress set aside 1.5 million acres along the coast of the refuge--the so-called...
...Thompson, operating out of the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University, found that 82 percent of Kilimanjaro's icecap melted between 1912 and 2000. He also found that the rate of disintegration may be speeding up; Thompson's measurements show one spot on the mountain's icecap lost roughly a yard of thickness since last February...
