- Sippy Cups From SIGG and Klean Kanteen A Hit With Kids
With all the excitement this year over lead in toys and the leaching of BPA from plastic cups and bottles, I thought it might be time to give some alternative, non-leaching sippy cups a review here on TH.

Keiji Ashizawa channels Marcel Breuer and a steel flatpack cantilever chair slides under the door. "The process is quite simple. We simply cut, drill, or perforate a thin sheet of steel, 1.6mm thick, with laser.

Trials of a carbon sequestration project which involves seeding the ocean with iron particles are to take place later this month. Planktos are attempting to create a carbon offset product based on stimulating plankton growth. By adding iron to certain areas of the sea, the company can promote growth which they hope will absorb large amounts of carbon. This will then sink to the ocean floor, mostly...

I have recently described "the myth of 'Clean Coal'" as "pernicious nonsense"; noting coal carbon sequestration [search] technologies are unproven and being used to delay coal plant bans, and that if the world's coal reserves of 3500 gigatonne of carbon are burnt "the planet will be several times past the concentration of carbon dioxide considered able to be adapted to safely."

Scientists examining a spike in worldwide ocean temperatures 55 million years ago have linked it to massive volcanic eruptions that pushed Greenland and northwest Europe apart to create the North Atlantic Ocean. Writing in the journal Science, geologists present evidence that this intense volcanic activity occurred at the same time ocean temperatures jumped five to 6 degrees Celsius.

Tiananmen Square is best known in the West for the 1989 student protests, but most people are only aware of it from that iconic image above. It was built when China was a very different place, the perfect setting for military processions, but is used very little by Beijing residents now. One of the countries leading architects has hatched a plan to overwrite everything it once stood for, and to re...
