Current 'conventional wisdom' and programs to counter climate change cannot succeed. TTie author examines one policy in some detail: carbon trading, or "privatizing the atmospheric commons," and "creating a supermarket of pollution." Carbon and emissions trading programs were recommended by both the Kyoto Protocol and the influential 2006 Stern report on the devastating economic costs of climate change. Under the Protocol, industrial countries are awarded "property rights" to the atmosphere - and with them the right to pollute and to trade these rights. By 'investing' in a project in a developing country that reduces carbon emissions, the 'investor' in an industrialized country gets Certified Emission Reduction Units which can be used to meet its obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emi...

Different forms of poetry, substantive paragraphs of fascinating facts, and striking linocuts hand-colored with watercolors describe how 14 species, beginning with bacteria (3.8 billion years old) and concluding with how human beings (a mere 100,000 years old), managed to survive the ages and why they still thrive. The first in a six-book series, Benjamin Pratt & the Keepers of the School, sets the stage for a mystery sparked by a dying custodian at Ben's school who slips him a 1783 coin inscribed that the school belongs to the children and they should defend it.\n Told in alternating chapters by siblings Carter and Sadie Kane, who see each other only twice a year, the story starts with a bang - the explosion of the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum where their renowned Egyptolog...

There is not much in nature that disgusts me. As a child, I used to leaf through nature guides, fascinated by all the critters with whom I shared the Earth. I couldn't bring myself to look at the picture of a tomato hornworm with a row of pupae on its back, though. It gave me such a case of the willies that I had to turn the page quickly. I knew the story, and it was elegant. Tomato hornworms are enormous leaf-green caterpillars with a harmless "horn" at the back end. Its the head end that causes the damage: After hatching, the larvae begin gobbling tomato leaves and fruits at a fantastic rate. Within a few weeks, they grow from one-tenth of an inch to 4 inches long. Then they drop off, wiggle their way into the soil and form into pupae. Weeks later, they emerge as lovely hawkmoths with...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - When federal investigators working the Michael Vick dogfighting case needed someone to dig up and analyze the remains of eight pit bulls buried on the football star's Virginia property, they summoned Melinda Merck. The nation's top forensic veterinarian, Merck was one of the few specialists trained in processing crime scenes involving animals. Her job at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals involves helping prosecutors build court cases, and she saw there weren't nearly enough vets and other professionals with those skills.

Water Conservation & Sustainability classes. In collaboration with the Yorba Linda Water District and the City of Fullerton, a variety of class offerings will be presented about water-wise gardening, "Fullerton Friendly" gardening, edible gardening and much more. Class Assistant volunteers help with registration, distributing class materials and data collection for each class. Established in 1979, the Fullerton Arboretum has served the community as a premier resource for ecological, horticultural and historical education. The Fullerton Arboretum is the largest botanical garden in Orange County. Encompassing 26 lush acres, The Fullerton Arboretum has assembled a permanent collection of over 4,000 unique and unusual plant species from around the world. With its ponds, streams and w...

Human studies have found alcoholics to have a smaller brain size than moderate drinkers; however, these studies are complicated by many uncontrollable factors, including timing and amount of alcohol use. Animal experiments, which can control many factors, have established that alcohol can cause damage to brain cells (i.e., neurons), which results in their loss of structure or function (i.e., neurodegeneration) in multiple brain regions, similar to the damage found in human alcoholics. In addition, animal studies indicate that inhibition of the creation of neurons (i.e., neurogenesis) and other brain-cell genesis contributes to alcoholic neurodegeneration. Animal studies also suggest that neurodegeneration changes cognition, contributing to alcohol use disorders. Risk factors such as ado...

Hunting, fishing, trapping and other outdoor recreational pursuits are deeply ingrained in the Maine way of life. But as a constituency, sportsmen are a small minority, and as such, a special interest. For many years, those interests have been represented in the state policy arena by the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine. By the clout-to-numbers ratio, SAM has been powerful and effective. The face of SAM for 18 years was George Smith. Mr. Smith retired as executive director in May. His replacement is no longer with the organization, and now the top post is held by Matt Dunlap, who most recently was Maine's secretary of state. Mr. Dunlap's appointment is on an interim basis. The case can be made, though, that he would well serve the larger interests of the men and women who hunt and fish as ...
