...renewable and nuclear energy; and favoring more fuel-efficient and hybrid vehicles. In addition, we can reduce and offset up to 20% of our emissions by conserving and restoring the world's forests. Forests not only store twice as much carbon as there is in the atmosphere, but constantly reabsorb it through photosynthesis. Nature's carbon-storage technology is extraordinarily efficient and can mitigate climate change better over the next 50 years than, say, the enlightened efforts of the energy or transportation sectors...
...percent of abortion-seekers, who say that they do intend to have children in the future. In fact, the human body will often make the same choice on its own, albeit for purely physical reasons—if a woman is malnourished, the uterine lining will often reabsorb the embryo instead of letting it develop, sensing that the body does not possess the physical resources to allow it to develop to term...
...again. The human presence has become so dominant that we have disrupted even these most basic mechanisms of the planet. Most familiar, of course, is what we have done to the carbon cycle. Because we are pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster than land and seas can reabsorb it, the accumulating gas is trapping heat and upsetting the climate. The result is not only rising seas and fiercer storms but also a possible repositioning of the world's ecosystems as the boundaries of forests or grasslands shift. Many animal and plant species may not be able to adjust...
...discussed the issues within the Government at least once every couple of weeks. Before setting off on a trip that will include SALT, I've made a point of zeroing in again on the subject. If I had 24 hours, I could sit down and reabsorb the necessary detail before going into the negotiations. Also, my 6½ years in the Defense Department were a real help. Picking up the technical aspects of SALT was not as difficult as if I'd had to start from scratch. Finally, as a trial lawyer, I've been trained...
...merger merger that went into effect in June 1971 is renewable after four years. In June 1975 Radcliffe can recover its holdings, a move that will be virtually impossible since the school would have to reabsorb its debts and face a University for which coeducation has become a way of life...
