A novel way to fight climate change...

Just when you think you've heard the most ridiculous idea...

IF men having more to do with babies makes them more peaceful -- less aggressive, perhaps, in a meeting like the Copenhagen summit on climate change or the G8 -- we should have babies lined up for the all the leaders to cuddle a bit so that when they go into their meetings they're more inclined to make agreements.

Anthropologist Sarah Hardy: When they did start to look what was the endocrinological effect on men of being in intimate contact withbabies, their testosterone goes down and their prolactin and their nurturing impulses go up. And sure, this is going to help with climate change.
