20,000 leaks under the sea?
Article Abstract:
Scientists have proposed a number of solutions to the global warming crisis, including piping the carbon dioxide produced by the burning of fossil fuels under the land or under the sea. Project director of the International Energy Agency greenhouse gas research and development programme Paul Freund favours piping carbon dioxide emissions from power stations into empty oil fields. Japanese scientists have proposed storing carbon dioxide in a great lake under the ocean. However environmentalists fear that solutions such as these will simply create other problems elsewhere.

Duty and the beasts
Article Abstract:
Moral philosopher Roger Scruton has argued that the failure of animal welfare groups to protest about the slaughter of around 1 million cattle because of the threat of mad cow disease reveals major logical inconsistencies in the animal rights movement. Keith Tester, professor of sociology at Portsmouth University, maintains that these inconsistencies exist because people are not really concerned about animals at all. However philosopher Mary Midgley argues that animal welfare philosophy has simply reached a new maturity.
