Cactus collectors are a surprisingly fervid bunch. A trawl of the enthusiasts' presence on the Internet - some of the plants' biggest fans are in Scandinavia, the Czech Republic and Japan - yields hundreds of sites offering information about cactuses as well as nurseries where collectors can buy. "There are more sites, more information than we have ever had," Wiedhopf says. "It's marvelous. That's the upside." The problem is that some collectors don't want to buy from nurseries. Rather than purchasing from, say, the acres and acres of cacti nurseries in the Netherlands, avid collectors travel to Mexico instead...

After 10 years establishing the brand in Iceland and Scandinavia, Scheving decided to approach Nickelodeon with the idea of a TV show. He wowed Nick exec Brown Johnson - now the network's president of animation - with an exhaustingly acrobatic pitch. "Magnus walked into the meeting on his hands. We talked for a while about the show and then he started...
...universal. Let's not fool ourselves: we won't stop global warming, not in this century. Adaptation to climate change is the key to mankind's future and survival. While continuing our efforts to curb emissions, we should focus research and money on how to move agriculture north (Canada, Scandinavia, Siberia), fight tropical diseases as they spread to our higher latitudes, avoid and tax excessive air-conditioning, plan for shorter Arctic shipping - do everything to adapt to warmer temperatures and do it now!
