Xi'an wall - China
by MLHS on flickr.com
Caption by MLHS: "This is probably my favourite of
all the travel photos I've ever taken.
The atmospheric quality of the pic was at least
partly produced by the heavy pollution in the air
that day. Not a pleasant thought, but it worked
well for the photos I took there. "

Grass could help save the world
Wendy Frew
January 4, 2008
From the page: "Grasses such as wheat and sorghum can store large amounts of carbon in microscopic balls of silica, called phytoliths, that form around a plant's cells as they draw the mineral from the soil, a report in the latest issue of New Scientist says.
When a plant dies, the phytoliths, or plantstones, enter the soil and lock in the carbon for potentially thousands of years, said the Southern Cross University agricultural scientists Leigh Sullivan and Jeff Parr. The next step would be to see if plants that best store carbon in plantstones have higher or lower crop yields and quality."

F.T.C. Asks if Carbon-Offset Money Is Well Spent
By LOUISE STORY
Published: January 9, 2008
From the page: "The Federal Trade Commission, which regulates advertising claims, raised the question Tuesday in its first hearing in a series on green marketing, this one focusing on carbon offsets.
As more companies use offset programs to create an environmental halo over their products, the commission said it was growing increasingly concerned that some green marketing assertions were not substantiated. Environmentalists have a word for such misleading advertising: "

The Road from Climate Science to Climate Advocacy
By Andrew C. Revkin
January 9, 2008
From the page: "Richard C. J. Somerville, a climatologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography near San Diego, is one of a growing array of scientists who have chosen to move beyond studying heat transfer and cloud physics and take on the role of activist: prodding society to move aggressively to cut greenhouse gases.
It is a sticky position, and comes with risks, not the least of which is the potential for opponents of gas restrictions to raise questions about a scientist-advocateās objectivity back in the research world. But Dr. Somerville, who has also contributed to several reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says the risks that attend further silence, in the face of ever-growing emissions of heat-trapping gases, are far greater."
When lives are at stake and time is of the essence, advocacy and activism may be necessary evils for scientists who usually present their research findings objectively for peer review.

Groups to Sue for Polar Bear Protection
By DAN JOLING
From the page: "ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- Three conservation groups notified the federal government Wednesday they intend to sue to get polar bears listed as a threatened species due to global warming.
The formal notice filed by the Center for Biological Diversity, the Natural Resources Defense Council and Greenpeace is a necessary step before a lawsuit is filed. The notice cited a missed deadline by the federal agencies and officials in Washington on whether polar bears will be listed.
"The science confirms that the polar bear is endangered, but the Bush administration continues to downplay the danger of global warming and delay any action to address the issue," said Kert Davies, research director at Greenpeace USA.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dale Hall said earlier this week that the Wednesday deadline would be missed in part because of the complexity of the issue. The agency has never declared a species threatened or endangered because of climate change and the research effort has been taxing and challenging, he said."

The Human Footprint
From the page: "Featuring a series of arresting art installations and mind-boggling statistics, Human Footprint follows the average life journey from the cradle to the grave, showing just how much, how often and for how long we will each consume. How much food and drink we will devour, how many tears we will cry, how much hair we will shed and how much waste matter we will process through our bodies -- all within the 2 billion 475 million, 5,076 seconds that each of us will, on average, spend on earth."
