We talk to Andrew Weaver, a prominent member of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change about what's at stake at the upcoming climate negotiations in Copenhagen, talks meant to develop a successor to the Kyoto Protocol.
A conversation with the Vice President of The Maldives, a country that is a collection of 26 coral Islands in the Indian Ocean with an average elevation of two metres above sea level and the first country to commit to a zero carbon footprint.
What to do about the damage that's already been done. Even if Copenhagen is a stunning success, it won't undo what we've done to the planet over the last couple of centuries. But the Royal Society of Science has some controversial ideas about what might help.
Weighing the ethics, economics and etiquette of staying home sick during the H1N1 flu pandemic. Employees are caught between staying home and leaving their colleagues to pick up the slack or going to work and infecting them.

Thanks for keeping your talents in our lives.
I saw this as the most commented on the Daily Herald, a suburban Chicago newspaper: White Sox fan beat by Cubs fans, loses eye. It's as bad as it sounds. Now, I grew up in Chicago as a Cub fan, but, since my father was a White Sox fan, I never hated the White Sox or their fans. This story show that intracity rivalries coupled with alcohol at a two-year-old's birthday party don't ever mix well. The comments are the usual rivalry remarks, but, if I can channel Mike Pesca for a moment, this may be a replay of the 1906 World Series. It's the only time that the Cubs and White Sox played each othe for the championship. The White Sox won it, but the mayor and the governor had to declare martial law to quell the riots. Let's hope for calmer heads prevail, lo these 102 years later.
Hope your job search is progressing nicely. Cheers.
Your fan (and friend),
Carey
