...nearly everyone who contacted me wanted the entire dataset, so I worked to have the agency make the whole dataset, the raw data, and the code (more than a gigabyte) available to all legitimate researchers. I was the first researcher ever to do this with the agency and new protocol had to be invented. There are hundreds of papers based on just this one agency’s data for which authors have made no such effort. I was referring to my efforts to make the data available when I told the Crimson reporter that I had gone...
...have set requirements or goals for renewable energy. New York, for one, aims to generate 25% of the state's energy from renewables by 2013, up from 19% today. More than 160 mayors have pledged to curb greenhouse gases in their cities according to the guidelines of the Kyoto Protocol. Indeed, now that Kyoto has kicked in--with 34 industrialized nations legally bound to cut emissions, excluding the U.S., China and Australia--multinational companies will have to cut CO2 emissions or pay to pollute at the old rate, bolstering the market for pollution-control gear...
...town that worships political power and protocol--especially at the high levels at which O'Connor has been operating for the past 24 years--the Arizona ranch girl, who grew up dreaming not of being the first woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court but of running cattle as her father and grandfather had before her, has refused to be indulged. She is unassuming, doesn't take herself too seriously (in 2002 O'Connor was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame) and never lost the sensibility she nurtured under those limitless Arizona skies. She often drew from...
...Raymond, Exxon's chairman and CEO, is a verbal gusher of anti-global-warming rhetoric who opposes mandatory caps on greenhouse-gas emissions. Environmentalists accuse Exxon of being the "No. 1 climate criminal," responsible for the Bush Administration's refusal to sign on to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which sets targets for reducing pollution that causes global warming. "We do think there is a risk of climate change, but there are much better approaches to making progress than mandatory caps," says Sherri Stuewer, Exxon's vice president of safety, health and environment...
...carbon dioxide released into the air--equal to taking a million cars off the road. But in the end Raymond is an oilman; he believes fossil fuels are the only way to fill the 50% increase in global energy demand projected by 2030. Raymond has called the Kyoto Protocol "flawed" and predicts that Europe won't be able to meet its emission-cutting goals. Exxon's line is that there is "no scientific certainty" behind studies blaming fossil fuels for global warming...
