(To address the issue that auctioningpermits would hurt the economy, look up “negative externalities.”)The candidates agree on an intermediate goal of reducing U.S. emissionsto 1990 levels by 2020. By 2050 Obama seeks a reduction of 80 percent from the1990 level, while McCain says he would want a reduction of at least 60 percent.Both see a role for nuclear power in our nations future, though McCain spendsmore time Replica Tag Heuer wv2116.fc6182 Carrera Twin Time Watch elaborating on it. Obama emphasizes working the U.N. and other globalpartners, while McCain mentions using clean coal, strengthening penalties forviolating CAFé standards, and a $300 million prize for the development of asignificantly improved, commercially viable battery package.Another thing to note, both candidates mention thattechnological innovations to help fight climate change will increase efficiencyand ultimately help the economy.--Micah Cratty
So if Lance Armstrong has headed into celebrity territory, why cant celebrities head into Lances? The 2008 Nautica Malibu Triathlon somehow managed to attract a slew of celebutantes, including Matthew McConaughey and Anna Kournikova, which is to say people who are a lot like our Democratic presidential candidate. They raced, and they looked Replica Tag Heuer wjf2110.ba0570 Link Automatic Watch good in wetsuits.Not that Jennifer Lopez is like Obama. She swims and runs a lot faster, thanks in part to her personal trainer Gunnar Peterson. And she raised the non-negligible sum of $127,000 for Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Note that J.Lo finished the half-mile ocean swim, 18-mile out-and-back bike, and 4-mile run in the very respectable time of 2 hours 23 minutes, and still looked fabulous a few hours later for her husbands birthday party. They really are different than the rest of us.--Matthew Fishbane
Ultrarunner Dean Karnazes is again attempting any mere mortals idea of hell. 48 consecutive hours on a treadmill. In a window. Live. On television. While cheerfully chatting with Regis and Kelly. Part of the show’s World Record Breaker Week, Karnazes will try for the Guinness World Record for the longest distance run in 48 hours on a treadmill. He Replica Tag Heuer cl111c.ft6000 Kirium Formula Watch starts tomorrow morning, along with some guy inflating a lot of balloons with his nose, and finishes on Thursday before the requisite underwater-breath-holding act. Kudos, Karnazes, and Godspeed. If you’re in New York, catch him live in the ABC studio window at 7 Lincoln Square on the corner of Columbus and 67th. Otherwise, ABC will be broadcasting his entire two-day treadmill online. -Claire Napier Galofaro
