| 88ecbdc | If we had started global decarbonization in 2000, when Al Gore narrowly lost election to the American presidency, we would have had to cut emissions by only about 3 percent per year to stay safely under two degrees of warming. If we start today, when global emissions are still growing, the necessary rate is 10 percent. If we delay another decade, it will require us to cut emissions by 30 percent each year. This is why U.N.

| 204219f | Al die gore eenzaamheid en dat hunkerend weer rechtop krabbelen. Dat razen en dat stilvallen. Dat voelen en verdwalen. Dat vinden en dan toch maar weer opnieuw gaan zoeken. Dat verlangen zonder goed te weten wat daarmee te moeten. Dat evengoed er keihard mee kunnen lachen. Uw kunst is geestig, soms, en om te janken zo triest, op andere momenten - en af en toe op dezelfde. | Griet Op de Beeck | ||

| 0fde407 | Lulu writes: "When Mother, Mr. Jones and I were walking through those strange, crowded downtown streets, where people were sticking their hands into pickle barrels, pointing to smoked fish, and eating sliced herring, I saw the scene in a whole new way.

| 750a6ab | My yogurt was nestled into a bag, waiting to turn into aushak, and all around us were sausages and pastry, lollipops and spices, chicken and cheese.

The though of getting back to work suddenly seemed like fun. | food-love | Ruth Reichl | |

| 50861ab | I once read the most widely understood word in the whole world is 'OK', followed by 'Coke', as in cola. I think they should do the survey again, this time checking for 'Game Over'. Game Over is my favorite thing about playing video games. Actually, I should qualify that. It's the split second before Game Over that's my favorite thing.

| d636fa8 | all my life I have never heard a mother call out to her child as he or she goes off to school, "Take a lot of risks today, darling." She is more likely to convey to her child, "Be careful, darling." This "Be careful" carries with it a double message: "The world is really dangerous out there" ... and ... "you won't be able to handle it." What Mom is really saying, of course, is, "If something happens to you, I won't be able to handle it." Yo.. | Susan Jeffers | ||

| fd2057d | Late December, in Bridgwater, Somerset, Western Province, a middle-aged man named Thomas Wharnton, going home from work shortly after midnight, was set upon by youths. These knifed him, stripped him, spitted him, basted him, carved him, served him--all openly and without shame in one of the squares of the town. A hungry crowd clamoured for hunks and slices, kept back--that the King's Peace might not be broken--by munching and dripping greyb.. | distopia | Anthony Burgess | |

| 10049e8 | Was war, then, the big solution after all? Were those crude early theorists right? War the great aphrodisiac, the great source of world adrenaline, the solvent of ennui, Angst, melancholia, accidia, spleen? War itself a massive sexual act, culminating in a detumescence which was not mere metaphorical dying? War, finally, the controller, the trimmer and excisor, the justifier of fertility? | Anthony Burgess | ||
