Question: Should the United States support the Kyoto treaty to limit global warming?
Wesley Clark: “Not only did President Bush pull out of Kyoto, but he has utterly failed to address the problem of global warming in a serious way at all, choosing instead to deny the science, effectively hiding his head in the sand. We need to re-engage with the international community to address carbon emissions and global warming more broadly. Whether it’s rejoining Kyoto or finding other multilateral approaches, we have to address this global problem with global leadership.”

A couple of press releases today, here and here, from ManyOne Networks announcing Digital Universe, a new web browser promising to become the “Free PBS of the Web” and fulfilling the “original promise of the Internet.” Cool. Maybe the coolest thing, while a collaboration of experts, Digital One will engage the general public through its Contributor Program.
General Clark, who is on the advisory board of ManyOne Networks, said of Digital Universe:
“The Digital Universe will place a real-time window on our planet and all its societies into the hands of every citizen; a window revealing commercial-free information about our changing climate, conflicts, social challenges and visions of the future, created by leading experts, universities, research organizations and appropriate government agencies. The technology is vibrant and engaging. It really does what many thought Netscape would do — it creates relevant linkages to provide real Internet exploration for knowledge.”
Digital One’s mission statement: To realize the Internet’s potential as an open, non-commercial medium that inspires creativity, communication, collaboration and education.
