Inc. August 2005 Michael S. Hopkins	Data Is the World Steven Levitt's bestseller "Freakonomics" offers lessons to businesspeople about how to use analytical tools of economics to read the world more accurately. The controversial assertion that the legalization of abortion in the U.S. decreased crime serves as an example.
Geotimes December 2004 Jay Chapman	Carbon Dioxide Alchemy Some scientists are experimenting with a new form of alchemy, not looking to create a substance, but rather remove one: carbon dioxide. If their process works, it could reduce the effects of the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Geotimes March 2003	Demonstrating Carbon Sequestration Estimates are that human activity emits 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year. One proposed method for reducing how much of the greenhouse gas ends up in the atmosphere is to store the carbon dioxide underground. Natural reservoirs of the gas exist, suggesting that it is feasible.

What's even tougher for carbon sequestration: figuring out where to store it.
Geotimes March 2003 S. Julio Friedmann	Storing Carbon in Earth Carbon sequestration is capturing carbon dioxide, either from the atmosphere or emission streams, and storing it in reservoirs, such as plants or soils. Carbon dioxide could be converted to solid chemicals or injected into the deep ocean. Though there are risks, the potential pay-off is enormous.
