BEIJING (April 1, 2009): Health officials gathered in Beijing yesterday warned against deadly drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis, which are spreading fastest in developing countries that lack the infrastructure to tackle the disease. Over half of new cases of tuberculosis are resistant to multiple drugs right from the start, and not as a direct result of substandard treatment, the head of the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned. |

By Bryan Walsh Monday, Mar. 23, 2009  It's been two years since the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change laid out the definitive case that human beings were causing global warming, and two decades since NASA scientist James Hansen first told Congress of the threat of rising CO2 emissions.

By Barbara Kiviat Sunday, Mar. 29, 2009 I'm going to walk two miles to work on Friday. I blame the recession. Like people everywhere, I've been hit by fear. Fear that I'll lose my job. Fear that I won't be able to make my rent. Fear that my mother, who retires in June, will outlive her battered portfolio and need me to step in to help out. |
