Murmansk, Russia (RIA Novosti) May 03, 2007Companies developing offshore oil deposits could enjoy tax breaks, Russia's president said Wednesday.

Moscow, Russia (RIA Novosti) May 03, 2007Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday Russia should develop transport in the Arctic to support future energy projects and Russia's. Speaking onboard a nuclear icebreaker to be used by energy producers, the president said this should be done in an environmentally friendly way, citing "the vulnerable natural environment" there.

Bangkok (AFP) May 02, 2007A demand by China, India and Brazil that rich nations accept they are mainly responsible for global warming has held up progress at a key UN climate change conference here, delegates said Wednesday.

Providence RI (SPX) May 03, 2007Freeze-dried ice cream looks like the original product, and even tastes pretty good, but "drying" ice cream at room temperature would leave a sour-smelling, sloppy mess. Similarly, diamonds ejected from deep in the Earth can survive the journey intact only if they head toward the surface quickly and under just the right conditions. Diamonds, found almost exclusively within kimberlite forma ... more |

Moscow (UPI) May 01, 2007Russian President Vladimir Putin's latest state of the nation address contained little new information, as it was largely a catalogue of what Russia needed domestically. Still, Western officials and the media immediately latched on to Putin's statements that Russia was re-emerging as a major power, his warning that foreign powers should not meddle in the country's internal affairs, and the ... more Climate Change Threatens Indonesian Rice Farmers

Washington (AFP) April 30, 2007A hurricane roars ashore in Rhode Island. A nuclear device goes off in the Midwest. And terrorists begin wreaking havoc in Alaska. What do you do? The Pentagon and other US and Canadian agencies plan to answer that question in a major exercise called Ardent Sentry-Northern Edge 07 that began Monday and will play out over the next 18 days, involving thousands of US troops and state and local offi ... more Poor Countries Demand A Voice On Climate Change 
Bangkok (AFP) May 01, 2007As climate change experts meet in Bangkok, poor nations suffering the brunt of global warming's worst effects are determined their voices will not be drowned out by bickering world powers.

Washington DC (UPI) May 01, 2007The Middle East is no longer just about oil for Japan. Granted, the race continues to intensify between Japan, China and India to woo petroleum-rich nations in order to secure more natural resources from the region. Indeed, the leaders of all three countries have been going out of their way over the past few years to establish stronger relations with Arab states, most recently with Japanese Prim ... more Nuclear Storm Gathers As Climate Change Experts Meet 
Bangkok (AFP) May 02, 2007Few issues are as divisive as nuclear power, and the furore over its use threatens to resurface as leading scientists meet in Thailand to thrash out a plan to reduce the impact of climate change.
