...their face, and this one is no different. More guns simply do not mean more murder, at least if you look beyond a few states in Western Europe. Israel has more guns per capita than the U.S., but its murder rate is almost half that of oft-exalted Canada. Sweden and Finland are two comparably armed societies, but you're much more likely to get knocked off in one than in the other. And Switzerland, with widespread gun ownership, is far safer than many other countries with more restrictive policies. Clearly, what works for some does not work...
Cars like the NECAR4, housed in a lab near Stuttgart, could help make that happen. This experimental vehicle, being jointly developed by Ford, DaimlerChrysler and Canada's Ballard Power Systems, gets its energy from hydrogen--the most abundant fuel in the entire universe. Hydrogen, unlike fossil fuels, contains no carbon atoms and thus generates zero carbon dioxide. However, it could produce some pollution, since burning hydrogen taints the atmosphere by rearranging air molecules to form nitrogen oxides and ozone...
...turtles get thrown overboard, dead. Overfishing has depleted major populations of cod, swordfish, tuna, snapper, grouper and sharks. Instead of sensibly living off nature's interest, many fisheries have mined the wild capital, and famous fishing banks lie bankrupt, including the revered cod grounds of New England and Atlantic Canada...
...sound environmentalism doesn't try to slow commerce, but it must act to prevent commerce from violating the pace of nature (or, for that matter, of culture). The destruction of the cod fishery in the northwestern Atlantic was the work of commerce unfettered by intelligent governance. Governments like Canada's kept trying to protect the jobs of fishermen without listening to what was well known at a cultural level in the fishing communities--that the size of the fish and the catch was shrinking steadily. The alarmed environmental scientists on the scene were ignored. Next time perhaps they...
...last eight pages is another special part of this special edition, the first global version of TIME FOR KIDS. Designed especially for young readers, it shows how children from Canada to Cambodia are mobilizing to make sure that we older folks leave them a healthy planet to live on. This will be the first chance for our overseas readers to see a fun--and educational--publication that goes to nearly 3 million grade school children in the U.S. So share the whole issue with your kids, grandkids or the neighbors' kids. More than any other magazine, this one speaks...
