More than 100 corporate heads, international organizations and experts set out a plan on Tuesday to cut greenhouse gas emissions, calling on governments to act urgently against global warming.
"Failing to act now would lead to far higher economic and environmental costs and greater risk of irreversible impacts," the Global Roundtable on Climate Change warned in a statement, announcing their first major agreement since they began talks in 2004.

Archaeologists on Tuesday unveiled the tombs of a pharaonic butler and scribe that have been buried for more than 3,000 years -- proof, one says, that Egypt's sands still have secrets to reveal.
Although archaeologists have been exploring Egypt intensively for more than 150 years, some estimate only one-third of what lies underground in Saqqara, site of the country's most ancient pyramid, has been uncovered.

Dear Diary, the astronauts write.
Well, maybe not in those exact words. But three times a week, the two U.S. astronauts aboard the international space station write down their secret thoughts in their personal journals.
They write about their moods, their whines, how they feel, what they miss, whether they're sick of the food or aren't getting along with their roommates up in space. It may sound like high school, but it's really for science.

Deep in the dusty, unlit corridors of Kenya's national museum, locked away in a plain-looking cabinet, is one of mankind's oldest relics: Turkana Boy, as he is known, the most complete skeleton of a prehistoric human ever found.

Four or five flakes of toxic ammonia dripped from a cooling line cap but apparently didn't touch two U.S. astronauts conducting a spacewalk Wednesday outside the international space station. The leak occurred late in the almost eight-hour spacewalk as astronauts Michael Lopez-Alegria and Sunita Williams disconnected and prepared to stow away two fluid lines that had been connected to an ammonia reservoir outside the space station

Michael Lopez-Alegria and Mikhail Tyurin ventured outside the orbiting station to free up the stuck antenna on a Russian Progress cargo ship in preparation for undocking the unmanned vessel in early April to make room for rendezvous with the spacecraft delivering the next crew.
His vision obscured by a fogged-up faceplate, Tyurin breathed heavily as he wielded space scissors -- something like a pair of garden shears -- and laboriously cut metal tubes that held the antenna in place. One of two cuts necessary to get the job done went awry, forcing Tyurin to make a third try before he finally freed the antenna.

A rocket carrying a commercial communications satellite exploded Tuesday during launch from an oceangoing platform in the Pacific.
"There was an explosion as we were lifting off," said Paula Korn, a spokeswoman for Sea Launch Co., which was launching the Boeing Co.-built NSS-8 satellite for Netherlands-based SES New Skies.
