NOTWITHSTANDING a shift by big business to become more socially responsible, Big Oil prides itself in being an Island of bullheadedness and smugness. In a capitalist system, rewards of success go to shareholders. But Big Oil has virtually ignored an equally important constituency - the citizens of the United States - who have granted Big Oil the right to extract the nation's most strategic natural resources. In return, they expect them to act as responsible fiduciaries ...

The problems do not get any easier as President Bush attends his final summit with leaders of industrialized democracies. Disputes over global warming, worries about soaring Oil prices and uncertainty about Iran and North Korea's nuclear ambitions pose daunting challenges for Bush when he sits down with presidents and prime ministers Monday. There are fewer than 200 days left in his term, and Bush's dwindling presidency is a major factor hanging over the meetings involving leaders from Japan, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Canada at a Group of Eight summit in Toyako, on the northern Japanese Island of Hokkaido. With Bush en route to Japan on a nonstop flight Saturday, there is a mix of high challenges and low expectations for the summit. Atop the agenda is reaching a deal that would set targets for reducing the pollution that causes global warming. But few expect major headway or concessions from Bush. He insists on holding China and India, fast-growing economies and among the world's biggest polluters, to the same emission-reduction standards as older, developed economies. ...

The issues are as difficult as ever, but the conditions are likely to be more conducive to agreement as President Bush attends his eighth and final economic summit of industrial democracies. The annual Group of Eight meeting, which begins Monday on the northern Japanese Island of Hokkaido, comes amid economic turmoil in most of the member nations, as well as political uncertainty for many of the leaders. Oil prices are hitting new record highs and worries about inflation are mounting. Like the United States, most of the nation's major trading partners are experiencing slow growth and market declines. And Bush isn't the only one suffering low approval ratings. In fact, the president may have more clout at the gathering than his own low approval number - 29 percent in an AP-Ipsos poll conducted in mid-June - and the vast unpopularity of the Iraq war would suggest. For one thing, the just-below-the-surface animosity toward him - based on his Iraq moves and perceived hostility toward what then-Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld derisively described as "old Europe" - is now mostly gone. ...

Orangutan numbers have declined sharply on the only two islands where they still live in the wild and they could become the first great ape species to go extinct if urgent action isn't taken, a new study says. The declines in Indonesia and Malaysia since 2004 are mostly because of illegal logging and the expansion of palm Oil plantations, Serge Wich, a scientist at the Great Ape Trust in Iowa, said on Saturday. The survey found the orangutan population on Indonesia's Sumatra Island dropped almost 14 percent since 2004, Wich said. It also concluded that the populations on Borneo Island, which is shared by Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia, have fallen by 10 percent. Researchers only surveyed areas of Borneo that are in Indonesia and Malaysia. ...
