“A diet that relies heavily on meat production results in higher emissions than a typical vegetarian diet. Different individuals will make different choices.

“At the moment, it actually says nothing about a possible cosmic-ray effect on clouds and climate, but it's a very important first step.” This may be because he was ordered to speak circumspectly. According to science writer Nigel Calder, Rolf-Dieter Heuer, the director of the CERN lab, told a German newspaper that “I have asked the colleagues to present the results clearly, but not to interpret them. That would go immediately into the highly political arena of the climate change debate. One has to make clear that cosmic radiation is only one of many parameters.” FirstsMayImportantMomentsPoliticalSpeakResultsStepsClearEffectsDirectorsClimateClimate ChangeCloudsDebateNewspapersRaysCosmicRadiationFirst StepsColleaguesArenaLabsParametersCosmic RaysCern Author:Rolf-Dieter Heuer

“These self-appointed deacons in the Church of Latter-Day American Literature seem to regard generosity (of words) with suspicion, texture with dislike, and any broad literary stroke with outright hate.
