There are solutions that can reduce global-warming pollution and preserve a healthy climate for our children. We must invest in innovative clean-energy sources--from wind turbines and solar panels to biofuels such as ethanol--and use off-the-shelf technologies to make more fuel-efficient cars. These technologies will stimulate new markets, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, save consumers money, enhance our national security and reduce global-warming pollution. The time...

Check out sharperimage.com for their “Heat-Sensitive Foam Sleep Mask,” a great investment at only $24.99 (bonus: lined with sensuous black velvet on both sides!). 3.

Starved of silt and undermined by oil-drilling operations, the delta has been sinking at the same time global warming has caused water levels to rise. The result: every half an hour, a chunk of land about the size of a football field is lost...

The latest clampdown continues a campaign that started almost 10 years ago when China began building its own version of the World Wide Web. It was relatively simple to keep tabs, with authorities quickly learning to program off-the-shelf network routers?the switches that zip data around the Internet?to block offending Web addresses. Then, in 2000, Beijing spelled out its strict Internet philosophy: State Council Order No. 292 barred nine types of content from websites, online bulletin boards and chat rooms, including anything that might "harm the dignity...
