136: U.S. Foreign Policy and Terrorism
Commentators often speak of hate of the U.S. as though it were a passing fad, a media creation engendered by the deliberate sensationalism of a few.

The laws we pass
137: Warming Of The Arctic
Science Daily has published The Arctic is warming much more rapidly than previously known, at nearly twice the rate as the rest of the globe, and increasing greenhouse gases from human activities are projected to make it warmer still, according to the findings of a 300-strong team of international scientists.

138: Biodegradable and Municipal Solid Waste
While much of what goes into biodiesel could be considered biodegradable waste, the concept deserves its own section because of its enormous potential. As we said before, biomass happens. When the quantities were relatively low, few people considered waste management a problem people used to burn trash in their back yards, or bury, or put it out fo
139: Biological and Chemical Weapons In An Age of Terror
A history of terrorism requires a very specific definition to avoid a never-ending summary of every violent act ever recorded. The brief, objective definition proposed by Dr. Boaz Ganor, an Israeli political scientist and deputy dean of the Lauder School of Government and Diplomacy at the Interdiciplinary Center Herzliya, works well for this purpos
140: Dwarfed Trees Raised From Seedlings and Cuttings
One of the most fascinating hobbies is the raising of trees from seeds sown directly in a shallow container. If the seedlings are allowed to grow for a few years, they appear like a miniature forest; the same may be done with cuttings.
The following trees and shrubs may be sown directly in shallow containers or boxes, less than four inches
141: Free Tibet by Boycotting Chinese Goods Olympic Advertisers and the Olympics
The timing could not have been worse or better depending on one's perspective despite the efforts of the Chinese Communist Party to pull out all the stops to make sure the upcoming Summer Olympics is a great show. Too bad.

142: Help Your Children to be Kind to the Environment
Many children today don't learn to think at all about the environment. Others do, of course, but if there's no example set, what else can be expected?

144: Naturally Occurring Black Smokers On The Ocean Floor
A naturally-occurring hot springs settles on the bottom of the ocean floor, in a similar way as the Old Faithful spouts off every so often at Yosemite National Park in the U.S. In the same way, these black smokers on the ocean floor release gases that bubble up inside the ocean, far away from anyone's view.
These structures are chimney-like and
145: Observations at the Grocery Store
Just going grocery shopping can be interesting when you want to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. I was shopping the other day and just marveling at some of the wasteful stuff there.
