# Widely Used Models Downplay Pollution? New research suggests the complex
computer models underlying regulations on pollution from cars and other
sources in the largest US cities may significantly underestimate pollution
levels. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/01/000124141843.htm
# Impact From Rainforest Greenhouse Gasses May Not Be As Great As Thought.
The Amazon rainforest is striking a balance - albeit a precarious one -
in terms of the greenhouse gasses that are released as its rainforests are
consumed, a study shows. The study indicates that the carbon released into
the atmosphere by deforestation offsets that absorbed by new forests
growing. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/01/000125053133.htm
: What's your favorite atmospheric model? Have you predicted any atmospher-
ic events lately? Did they frighten you? Have you stocked up on oxygen, oil?

# Subway gas attack victims filled with fear. (ITN) The victims of the Tokyo
subway gassing by a doomsday cult keep the fact a secret because they fear
rebuke, according to lawyers. A legal team fighting for their rights said
that those who suffered in the 1995 incident should come forward to claim
compensation but many were blighted by "social stigma."
http://www.itn.co.uk/World/world20000125/012503w.htm
: Have you been attacked lately? Are you ashamed? Was it your fault? Is it
fun to blame the victims? Have you blamed any victims lately? Are they easy
to control? Does your culture place great emphasis on social control? How?
