...Danish statistician Bjorn Lomborg's claim that global warming will only cause us to wear "slightly fewer layers of winter clothes" is not credible. My new book Global Warming and Agriculture uses averages from six climate models and two schools of agricultural-impact models to estimate that in the absence of action, by the 2080s, global warming will reduce agricultural productivity 30% to 40% in India, 15% to 25% in Africa and Latin America, and 20% to 35% in the southern U.S. and Mexico. And if we consider the longer-term catastrophic risks from the runaway greenhouse effect, shutdown...

...recruits on April 1. Oddly, the crackdown is occurring at a time when large, excessive tattoos are more popular than ever.

"We are seeing more tattoos than ever before," says Ronald Davis, chief of police at East Palo Alto, where officers are required to hide their ink with clothing or bandages...
Both teams are coming off of frustrating losses last weekend--Brown blew a 17-point third-quarter lead at Cornell and Penn let unbeaten Yale slip through its fingers in overtime. And they play with contrasting styles. Penn prefers to wear down foes with rugged running back Joe Sandberg. Brown is airing it out with QB Michael Dougherty, who has already surpassed the 2,000-yard mark. Quakers by a red, spongy clown nose...
...making new friends as we commiserate. We all talk to each other and are amazed at what we actually take with us when we have to flee our homes. We look at each other and what we're wearing, a style we have learned to call "evacuwear." One Rancho Bernardo resident, whose wife had gone ahead to a hotel, was left picking through the clothes for her. He was certain she'd want her velour sweats and deck shoes. Come to think of it, he hadn't seen her wear her deck shoes in years, but since...
