...field of atmospheric physics. “For decades now the range of estimated temperature increases has been between one and a half and four and a half degrees Celsius,” he said. “Part of that uncertainty is to do with water vapor.” “It interests me and allows me to make a contribution to [fighting] what I think is the biggest threat to the planet,” Thompson said. Another fellow with a physics doctorate from Harvard, Alex Johnson, will work in the Division of Engineering and Applied...
Before heading to Congress, Republican J.D. Hayworth of Arizona was a sportscaster with a signature home-run call: "It's vapor!" Now the conservative Hayworth, 47, is making a similar charge about President Bush's plan to tighten the border with Mexico and establish a limited guest-worker program.

CLEAN CAR General Motors' AUTOnomy concept vehicle is powered by fuel cells instead of an engine. All that comes out of the tailpipe is non-polluting water vapor...
...cost of maintaining the site is only in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, says Los Alamos executive Allen Morris. Still, he says, "we're running on vapor." Barack Obama--who helped win Senate approval for $3.9 billion in flu preparedness and response plans and wants Bush to appoint a flu czar "so that things like this don't slip through the cracks"--says that making the site subscription-based only is "an example of the insufficient investment" in U.S. readiness for a pandemic.

...that damage, but it's bad news all the same, particularly the 1.5-in. ding that is located on the edge of the door covering the nosewheel well. Any breach there could cause superheated gases to stream into the enclosed space where the landing gear is stowed, forming a vapor bomb inside the ship. NASA, however, is confident that all the chips are minor and is saying so with uncommon certainty. "It looks extremely good," says Shannon. "We don't have anything to worry about." Says Griffin: "The orbiter is a clean bird...
