Environmental Groups Gain as Companies Vote on Issues. Shareholders have filed global warming resolutions with more than two dozen industrial companies this year. By Katharine Q. Seelye. [New York Times: Science]

This year, they have averaged more than 25 percent at more than twice the number of companies, the group said.
