		<description><![CDATA[Below is a news feature as appears on page 14 of this weekend&#8217;s Sunday Tribune. Given that global emissions are and will continue to run at or perhaps beyond the IPCC&#8217;s &#8216;worst-case&#8217; (A1F1) scenario, I felt it useful to try to translate likely real-world impacts into a language that is more widely understood. The degree-by-degree [...]]]></description>

The car itself is very comfortable, and for anyone used to a Prius (or any automatic), it drives exactly like a normal car.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Disaster myopia&#8221; was a new phrase to enter the lexicon of Irish political life this week. This condition manifests itself in an “increasing tendency to discount the probability of a disaster occurring, the longer the interval of time that has elapsed since a disaster last occurred”.
