Pollution...

Proof that it's more about fear than reality
New York City has many odors, but when the city began to smell a little too good, New Yorkers became alarmed.
Come on on you ecologically-conscious-evolutionary-thinkers out there -- good things smell good and bad things smell bad for a reason. But no, something changes and our first thought is "BAD" -- does that tell you anything?

Is this about the bird, or a comment on the plan?

International albatross plan proposes new colonies

It's about the bird, but I thought colonialization was a bad thing?

I am getting really tired of reading how climate change is going to ruin everything. Europe is going to have all sorts of problems and good-bye coral reefs. OK folks, for the record -- the climate is changing whether we like it or not. Even the global warming "experts' will tell you the question is not that it is warming, but if the rate and extent of warming is natural or man-made. In the history of the planet eco-systems come, they go, and they change. We better get used to that.

OK, there is perception and there is reality. Consider biomass fuels
Biomass, which sees crops grown for use as environmentally friendly fuels, should be used to generate heat, a year-long task force study concluded.
Biomass is just a different way of obtaining natural gas, that's all, doesn't burn any cleaner than fuel already currently in use. Then there is the question of how much land and resources you have to use to grow the biomass, and then finally the issue of what to do with the leftovers. Renewable is different than environmentally friendly.

Finally, here is your reading list. Read them all.
