The host of 'Top Gear' aims higher. He recounts his childhood fascination with space travel, endures astronaut training and travels in a U-2 spy plane. Any big questions, though, go unexplored. James May begins his new documentary, " James May on the Moon " (BBC America, 8 p.m. Tuesday), where he belongs: in a car, on the ground. He's a host of " Top Gear ," the cheeky British automobile...

It is an insult to science to rule that belief in man-made climate change is a religious conviction A British judge has decided that belief in human influence on climate has the status of religious conviction . This is being celebrated as a success by some activists. As a scientist who works on climate change, I find it deeply alarming. Is Jeremy Clarkson similarly entitled to protection if he declares...
I had a choice of two nice day trips today, as my boss was feeling generous (nothing to do with me sponsoring his son in a fun-run this weekend). I could do Scarborough and pop in to York on the return trip, or do Scunthorpe. Hmmm. That was an easy decision – the seaside won hands down. As this was work, I eschewed the usual popular tourist haunts in favour of collecting some second hand cars...

I don’t think I’ve done [...]
