...increase in Amazon deforestation to biofuels, as Mr. Grunwald does. First, suggestions that Brazil is a major culprit in global warming are not supported by scientific facts or reliable statistics. Second, the growth rate of Brazilian emissions has been on the decline primarily because of decreasing rates of Amazon rain - forest deforestation, which is the main source of carbon emissions in Brazil, and increasing use of ethanol fuel. Furthermore, from 1970 to 2005 the use of ethanol in our energy mix has averted the emission of 644 million tons of CO2, the equivalent of Canada's annual emissions. When compared...
...harnesses the power of the marketplace to fight warming, a concept that helped Republicans like McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee, fall in love with the idea. What's more, it works. Cap and trade was used in the 1990s to limit sulfur dioxide emissions and help tame acid rain.

What is clear is that at around 3:30 a downpour, described by OTC chief executive Grant Davidson as a "rain bomb," struck the area, causing an extremely rapid rise in the river's water level. It soared from 0.5 cubic meter to 18 cubic meters in half an hour, according to Davidson. "I have seen that amount of water but I have never seen it come down...
...rainy morning a few weeks ago, my biggest concern was trying to finish my reading for section. I have no way of knowing what 62-year-old Philip Macleod’s greatest sources of suffering and anxiety were: the frigid rain outside, unwashed clothes that smelled like stale beer, homelessness, loneliness, or depression. But Mr. Macleod walked into William James Hall that morning to get out of the cold, and maybe find some company. He broke the busy silence of the library with his boisterous attempts to engage students, including myself, in conversation. When Harvard University Police Department (HUPD...
