...first step to making that case is understanding exactly what warmer temperatures will do to us and our diseases - and few scientists know more about the topic than Patz, a member of the UN's Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). (Hear Patz talk about global warming and health on this week's Greencast.) As temperatures increase, and hotter, drier summers become the norm in regions that were once temperate, powerful heat waves - like the one in Europe in 2003, which killed an estimated 35,000 people - will take a toll.

...like situation is to ensure credible elections that are free and fair. For this to happen, the world has to increase the international observers being sent to Nepal and start training more Nepalese to help in this process. The 50 promised by The Carter Center and 60 by the UN are mere peanuts that will hardly help. The international observers have also not been inducting local Nepalese to act as their observers in remote and unsafe-for-foreigners locations. In addition, international pressure should be put on the royal family not to interfere in the electoral process...
