Growing Up Green - TIME

2008-05-19T03:22:43Z

Want to wreck the environment? Have a baby. Each bundle of joy gobbles up more of the planet's food, clogs garbage dumps with diapers, churns through plastic toys and winds up a gas-guzzling, resource-consuming grown-up like the rest of us. Still, babies are awfully cute. Given that most people still intend to procreate, what's an environmentally conscious parent to do?

Ode Magazine : Childhood unplugged

A war is raging between parents trying to raise children and corporate America trying to raise customers. As a parent of three children, I think I'm losing, or at least losing my mind. I've tried to educate my children about our materialistic society and how our family values differ from those of a culture of consumption. My kids, however, want more, buy more and throw away more.

What the New Atheists Donâ€™t See by Theodore Dalrymple, City Journal Autumn 2007

What the New Atheists Donâ€™t See by Theodore Dalrymple, City Journal Autumn 2007

First, let me confess that I have long enjoyed Theodore Dalrymple's writing. This only became an inconvenience yesterday, in fact, when I learned that Dalrymple had subjected my first book, The End of Faith, to especially malicious treatment in the pages of this magazine. I hope readers of City Journal will believe me when I say that it's not every day I discover a writer whom I admire vilifying me in print.

Better Planet: Nuke Power is Earth's Friend | Alternative Energy | DISCOVER Magazine

Global Warming, the Great Lifesaver | Global Warming | DISCOVER Magazine

Yes, Bjorn Lomborg, the controversial Danish economist, believes that â€œglobal warming is real and man-made.â€ But he is convinced that we are not thinking the problem through correctly and are, in fact, lost in a kind of green fog about how best to deal with global warming and other major environmental threats. In this excerpt from his new book, Cool It, Lomborg illustrates how a major climate-related killer goes underreported, while human deaths from heat waves make front-page news.

One Universe, Under God | Evolution | DISCOVER Magazine

When a Kansas sky is dark and looming, natives are, ironically, content. A torrential day is, for them, better than one characterized by a swing in temperature, odd winds, and as one local describes it, â€œa strangeness in the airâ€ that signals an impending tornado. On one particularly rainy day in Wichita, the roads are flooded in deep, thick puddles, and with the rain estimated to continue for the next four days, it seems positively biblical.

This Man Wants To Control the Internet | Computers | DISCOVER Magazine

John Doyle is worried about the Internet. In the next few years, millions more people will gain access to it, and existing users will place ever higher demands on our digital infrastructure, driven by applications like online movie services and Internet telephony. Doyle predicts that this skyrocketing traffic could cause the Internet to slow to a disastrous crawl, an endless digital gridlock stifling our economies. But Doyle, a professor of control and dynamic systems, electrical engineering, and bioengineering at Caltech, also believes the Internet can be saved. He and his colleagues have created a theory that has revealed some simple yet powerful ways to accelerate the flow of information. Vastly accelerate the flow: Doyle and his colleagues can now blast the entire text of all the books in the library of Congress across the United States in 15 minutes.

How Not To Be Racist | Memory, Emotions, & Decisions | DISCOVER Magazine

Whether out in polite society or answering the questions of nosy psychologists, most people insist to the utmost that theyâ€™re not racist. But when those same psychologists test people's subconscious feelings, they find a much different story. More than 80 percent of white people show some measurable prejudice (pdf) against black people, for instance.
