Daily News: New York is already the noisiest city in North America, so full of excess sound that Mayor Mike Bloomberg set up noise checkpoints where cops with handheld decibel meters handed out fines to miscreants. And for a couple of minutes on Sunday along 6th Ave., its going to be louder still -- in fact, more than a hundred thousand people will be blowing trumpets, beating drums and shouting at the top of their lungs. Church bells will ring across the city, sirens will sound. I know this noise will...

Economist: ON SEPTEMBER 23rd 120-odd presidents and prime ministers will gather in New York for a UN meeting on climate change. It is the first time the subject has brought so many leaders together since the ill-fated Copenhagen summit of 2009. Now, as then, they will assert that reining in global warming is a political priority. Some may commit their governments to policies aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.
