Why did Google wait ten days before notifying OpenSSL? (even if they didn't trust OpenSSL to handle it responsibly, it couldn't have taken ten days for Google to patch their systems)
Climate Scientist: Climate Engineering Might Be the Answer To Warming 343
Lasrick (2629253) writes "Tom Wigley is one of the world's top climate scientists, and in this interview he explains his outspoken support for both nuclear energy and research into climate engineering. Wigley was one of the first scientists to break the taboo on public discussion of climate engineering as a possible response to global warming; in a 2006 paper in the journal Science, he proposed a combined geoengineering-mitigation strategy that would address the problem of increasing ocean acidity, as well as the problem of climate change. In this interview, he argues that renewable energy alone will not be sufficient to address the climate challenge, because it cannot be scaled up quickly and cheaply enough, and that opposition to nuclear power 'threatens humanity's ability to avoid dangerous climate change.'"

More likely this is to keep them out of court.
