But while the U.N. group may benefit publicly from more transparency, it won't change the fact that more than 99% of the scientific details in the 2007 report have already withstood the most intense scrutiny.

That is why Audi is pushing forward with clean-diesel technology, which de Nysschen believes is the quickest way to get fuel-efficient, less-polluting cars on the road...
...starters, both the Crimson and the Bulldogs withstood serious threats to their league record this weekend, as neither was able to finish off its Ivy opponent in regulation time. In Harvard’s win against Brown, junior Katherine Sheeleigh notched the only goal of the game at the 93rd minute to give the Crimson...
