Letter from American Chemistry Council 12.24.02 (a)
The document is a response from the American Chemistry Council (ACC) outlining the US chemical industry's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas intensity as part of President Bush's Global Climate Business Challenge.
Some key points:
- The chemical industry has already reduced the fuel and power energy consumed per unit of output by 41% since 1974 and carbon emissions per unit of output have declined over 45% during this period through improved energy efficiency.
- As part of its response, the ACC commits the industry to pursuing additional reductions in greenhouse gas intensity toward an 18% reduction target by 2012 compared to a 1990 baseline. It will collect annual member data and reports to measure progress.
- The industry will continue developing products that help

This document outlines a project proposal to build a hydraulic model of a condom to teach young people at a technical school in Marinilla, Colombia how to properly use condoms. The project aims to educate youth about safe sex practices and disease prevention through hands-on learning with the hydraulic condom model. It would be carried out over 4 months with support from the technical school. The main beneficiaries are young men who will learn how to correctly use condoms and be informed about sexually transmitted diseases.

This is a presentation of the benefits of a Six implementation and the usage statistics showing adoption rates, and Q&A answer times
WordCamp Atlanta - Go Far Together
Cory Miller discusses lessons he has learned from building a team over 6 years. The key lessons are to 1) ensure new hires are a good fit, 2) nurture a sense of belonging through quality time and recognition, 3) reward contributions in meaningful ways, 4) foster continued learning, 5) protect the team from outside distractions and internal toxicity, and 6) expect full commitment from team members in working together to achieve goals. The overall message is that teams who go together by committing to these principles can accomplish great things.

CAR Review Document
The document reviews the 2001 U.S. Climate Action Report and finds issues with parts that rely heavily on the flawed 2000 U.S. National Climate Assessment. Specifically, Chapter 6 on impacts and adaptation is problematic as it depends on climate models that performed worse than random when evaluating recent climate data. The reviewer argues the report must address these issues or rewrite portions to avoid misrepresenting the current scientific understanding.
CAR Email 6.7.02 (b)
This document is a forwarded email containing a letter signed by various conservative organizations addressed to President George W. Bush. The letter expresses concerns about the recently released Climate Action Report 2002, claiming it relies on "junk science" and undermines the President's opposition to the Kyoto Protocol. The letter urges the President to withdraw the report and have it rewritten based on sound science without input from the previous administration. It also calls for dismissing or reassigning administration employees who do not support the President's agenda on global warming and energy policies.

This document is an email forwarding a press release from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics regarding a study they conducted on 20th century climate change. The study reviewed over 200 previous climate studies from the past few decades and determined that the 20th century was not the warmest or most extreme in terms of weather over the past 1000 years. The study found evidence that the Medieval Warm Period (800-1300 AD) and Little Ice Age (1300-1900 AD) affected wide areas of the globe, and that many locations were warmer during the Medieval Warm Period than in the 20th century. The conclusions contradict claims that the 20th century was the hottest in the last millennium.
Department of Agriculture Preliminary Regulatory Reform Plan
When President Obama unveiled his plan to create a 21st-century regulatory system that protects the health and safety of Americans in a cost-effective way, he called for an unprecedented government-wide review of rules already on the books. As a result of that review, the Department of Agriculture has identified initiatives to reduce burdens and save money. Read the agency plan and share your comments, feedback and questions.

- 4. De groene en de blauwe vakjes staan voor de planten die slecht zonder water kunnen. Zulke planten zetten we onder aan de heuvels. De gele vakjes staan voor de planten die wel goed zonder water kunnen, maar toch water nodig hebben. Zulke planten zetten we een beetje in het midden op de heuvels. De roze vakjes staan voor planten die heel goed zonder water kunnen. Die planten staan daarom ook bovenop de heuvels. Dan komt elke plant aan de hoeveelheid water die iedere plant nodig heeft. Planten in de Hunze. Ons idee is om heuvels in de Hunze te laten maken , want planten die goed zonder water kunnen, zetten we bovenop de heuvels. En planten die niet goed zonder water kunnen, zetten we onder aan de heuvels.
- 5. Toerisme Wat kan er allemaal komen : - Bankjes -Wandel en fietspaden -Fietsverhuur & souvenirs & kaartverkoop -Camping - Plekken waar mensen kunnen zwemmen & kanoën
- 6. De boeren hebben ook recht op land om vee op de laten grazen en om producten op de verbouwen, daarom hadden we bedacht om wateren om de landen heen te graven dat daar het water in kwijt kunnen.
- 8. Ons idee om de dieren in de Hunze te redden is: Als we door heftige regenval de Hunze moeten laten onderlopen waar moeten de dieren dan heen? ons idee was om de dieren op een hoger stuk land te plaatsen en daar ze laten grazen!
