he crisis which could make all the others irrelevant -- is global warming. Get this one wrong and it's over -- not just for the USA, but for planet Earth. That's the message delivered by Hurricane Sandy, and by almost all the extreme weather of the past two years. And here in the first month of the N

And unfortunately, and this is actually a core American value, it goes back to the founding of this country and it goes back to Benjamin Franklin, one of the leading lights of that time, who said - and every American knows this - "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." A little ac

ust doesn’t matter what the subject is at this stage. Suggestions for kids’ science experiments are everywhere.

it was certainly enacted by the sea captains. Discovery and risk were nothing but a nervy kind of scientific experiment, where the laboratory was the Earth’s surface and the tools of calculation were ships. And in our age?

Recall Benjamin Franklin’s famous lament in the 1780s, that he’d sadly been “born too early” to enjoy the fruits of reason Starting to spill into his world as a result of the S
