Draft climate plan issued

Clinton's climate change action plan.

-The relationships between DNA damage from UV radiation, alkylating drugs and the methylated xanthines (MX) have been studied in normal and malignant rodent and human cells. A comparison of the level of DNA excision repair (repair replication and unscheduled DNA synthesis) confirms that some forms of alkylatingagent damage (probably mono-filar DNA adducts) are less completely removed by both no...

There is a myth in America that markets, not plans, are the key to success. Markets will supposedly decide our climate future on their own once we institute cap-and-trade legislation to put a market price on carbon emissions. But this is silly: both markets and planning are essential in any successful large-scale undertaking, whether public or private. We need a detailed yet adaptable road map ...

Life: Organisms with a plan [DRAFT]

We first point out that at least two concepts are denoted by the word ‘life’ namely the ensemble of all living things (‘collective’ life) and the property of being alive (‘individual’ life). We note that a convincing definition for the former exists: the so-called “NASA working definition of life.” However, the property ...

V The VAMOS East Pacific Investigation of Climate ( VEPIC ) A Science and Implementation Plan DRAFT : 3 April 2001

The overall goal of VEPIC is to develop and promote scientific activities leading to an improved understanding and model simulation of southeastern Pacific stratus decks, their interaction with weather systems (including deep convection), the seasonal cycle and interannual climate variations over South America, and their feedback with the underlying ocean. These activities include diagnostic an...
