| Climate Change optimism
We now have all the tools at our disposal required to address global climate change in a swift and cost-effective manner. That is the simple message from the high-level international talks taking place in the Thai capital, Bangkok, over the past weekânegotiations that have led to the publication of the findings complied by Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Although the talks have at times been acrimonious, a consensus has been reached among the governmental and non-government participants. This is what we can derive from the Summary for Policymakers that has been released. What is most encouraging about the report is the finding that we have all the tools necessary to change our GHG emissions. The chair of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri, has been quoted today as saying that human society as a whole has to look for changes in consumption patterns.

Is Curry's Shoulder Injury Holding Him Back?
When we saw Eddy Curry grabbed three offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter last week against Denver and even swat away one of Marcus Camby's shots, you couldn't help but think; now that's what a center should do. But then you see Curry go through the motions in losses to Orlando and Miami on Friday and Sunday respectively and you can't help but think; the Denver game was an aberration. Maybe Curry's right shoulder is hurting him more than he's letting on. Maybe that's why Dwight Howard grabbed 20 rebounds to Curry's three on Friday. Maybe that's why in a grind it out battle against an aging Shaquille O'Neal, Curry disappeared after a 12-point first quarter. Curry had two opportunities to build on his performance against Denver and make a statement to Howard and O'Neal, the best young big man and the aging legend.
