No Time to Put Climate Science on Ice  
Achim Steiner
Project Syndicate

Defining a Right to Move?  
James Farrer, Devin T. Stewart 01/06/10
Beyond the practical and cultural arguments for immigration reform, the strongest case for an internationally recognized right to move may arise out of the "worst-case scenarios" of global climate change.

How to Keep a New Year's Resolution  
Peter Singer
Project Syndicate
01/05/10
A resolution is an attempt to overcome the problem of maintaining an intention when we expect that, at some future time, we will face inclinations contrary to our intention.

Betty Cremmins 12/08/09
