Is It O.K. to Engineer the Environment to Fight Climate Change?
Scientists are investigating whether releasing tons of particulates into the atmosphere might be good for the planet. Not everyone thinks this is a good idea.Do the analysis.
Some active measure must be taken.
If action is not begun soon about half the population of the earth will die young.
Much of that dying will be done by the children.

Patrolling the Border on Four Legs
The Times tagged along for a shift of Border Patrol agents on horseback, who play an essential role in efforts to detect illegal activity near hard-to-patrol areas along the Rio Grande.Texas loves the cavalry and hunting hostiles.
The border has become a game.
It is not yet a blood sport.

A Witness’s Account of a Bronx Killing Might Have Helped, if It Hadn’t Vanished
When the police knocked on doors after a Bronx killing, one woman identified the gunman. So why did her account never make it to the defense?
"During
the appeals, when lawyers for Mr. Odiase mentioned the new evidence,
Mr. Oustatcher said they could have found the witness if they had made
the effort before the trial. Notably, he did not defend himself by
saying that he already given them the full document.
Mr.
Oustatcher was asked to join the review, said Patrice O’Shaughnessy, a
spokeswoman for the district attorney. “He declined unless they
compensated him,” she said.
Prosecutors
in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx are now routinely reviewing
possible wrongful convictions on a case-by-case basis. That is not
enough to tell us what goes wrong. Did detectives look for the man
identified by the witness? How do prosecutors comply with their duty to
provide information to the defense while not exposing witnesses to
danger? What are the incentives for the institutions?
Blaming one person may feel good. But it doesn’t do much."
The prosecution must get it right the first time.

Trillions of Plastic Bits, Swept Up by Current, Are Littering Arctic Waters
A new study found that a major ocean current is carrying plastic from the North Atlantic to the Greenland and Barents seas, and leaving it there.Humanity will not stop the plastic at the source.
A effort must be made to collect it where it concentrates.

I can only hope he is prevented.
That does not appear likely in the longer term.
