Media coverage of Copenhagen: Climategate in the headlines
If so-called ‘climate skeptics’ think that the mainstream media is ignoring the story of the emails that were either leaked or hacked from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, then they are obviously not watching television news broadcasts or reading major publications. Climategate is everywhere. If the Copenhagen summit is mentioned, so naturally is the Climategate scandal.
Amazing what the words ‘trick’ and ‘hide the decline’ can do amongst a sea of otherwise boring, presumably impenetrable scientific language – all apparently camouflage for the ‘smoking gun’ that was embodied in one deadly sentence. The liberal, leftist, anarcho-communist corporate media, which usually only shows ‘warmist propaganda’ has been forced by the sword of freedom to include Climategate into their socialist brainwashing agenda. And not a moment too soon. Obama, Brown and their Stalinist cohorts want to tax the bejesus out of you and take away your freedoms. They want New Orleans to look like Stockholm. And we don’t want that, do we comrades? Hell no! Now if only the oil and coal industries had as much money as university science departments, but alas, the noble energy business is not the bloated cash cow of academia.
But seriously folks, Climategate is everywhere and neither the scientific community nor the media are burying their heads in the sand in the face of a bit of controversy. Here are a few embeddable videos from major mainstream news providers regarding the first day of the climate talks and Climategate:

Energy saving Green tips: doing the dishes
Everybody hates doing the dishes, right? Actually, some weirdos like it, but those people should be avoided at all costs. Or married. I mean someone has to scrape my fossilized muesli off the soupspoons, don’t they? May as well be someone who likes it. Now I’ve always assumed that modern luxury appliances like washing machines, dishwashers and massage chairs were as a rule bad for the environment and labor saving rather than energy saving. Apparently not so, according to this article...
Clean burning stoves in poor nations should save lives
Indoor air pollution from cooking stoves is the a serious health risk in developing countries. According to UN figures, it causes cardio-pulmonary diseases and low birth weight, killing some 1,9 million people every year – mostly women and children. Rudimentary cooking stoves in poor nations are usually fueled by foraged wood, crop waste, coal and dung. Besides being a major health hazard, the use of such stoves has substantial and manifold effects on the environment. The soot, or black carbon, produced...
Climate change + free market = food riots?
In the African nation of Mozambique, rising bread prices have sparked food riots in the capital of Maputo. The increasing cost of grain has added to an already-stressed economic atmosphere caused by price hikes of other necessities such as water, fuel and electricity. According to an AFP report, the death toll due to the riots has reached 13. In an opinion piece for the Observer, author, activist and academic Raj Patel points to the recent crisis in Mozambique as a sign of...
The moon has substantial water supply according to NASA
The controversial NASA project that involved crashing the LCROSS satellite on the moon’s surface last October was intended to confirm if there is water on the moon. Initially seen as a big failure since there was no visible lunar dust or any other substances that resulted from the impact of the crash, NASA has just confirmed otherwise and stated that there is substantial water supply on the moon. Researchers hope that the information gathered from this mission to the moon will...
A valuable investment: preserving ‘ecosystems services’
A new study called The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) states that preserving natural ecosystems hold better returns than an investment in gold. Rounding up over 1,100 studies done on ecosystems around the world, the results show that benefits of investing in conservation further outweighs its cost. A few cases in point: The protection of 12,000 hectares of mangroves cost the Vietnamese government $1.1 million but saves $7.3 million annually on dyke maintenance; in New Zealand, a grassland conservation area,...
New BIKE Program may be Coming to Philadelphia!
There was a time when I was an art student and lived in center city Philadelphia. If you’ve never been to Philadelphia, let me tell you that the traffic can be absolutely insane. Drivers will speed down the wrong way of a one-way street, they’ll cut other drivers off, traffic jams aren’t exactly uncommon, and if you are a pedestrian or cyclist, watch out! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost been run over because some driver was...
Super-sized shipping: The impact of new mega ships, trucks and tunnels
More and more goods are being shipped from China to Europe in an unstoppable relationship based on cheap production and ever-increasing consumption. This means more energy and greenhouse gas emissions. But freight companies are also developing and implementing ways to become more energy efficient and lower their emissions. Danish shipping giant Maersk has ordered 10 new mega ships (with an option for 20 more) to be used between China and Europe. These floating blocks of skyscrapers can carry 20% more than...

Imagine a Plastic That can Absorb CO2 and is BPA-Free
There are 3 basic things that are generally considered bad in the green world: plastics, BPA in plastics, and excessive CO2 emissions. Imagine if some of these things could be combined and used for the greater good. It seems unlikely, right? Well, guess what? Scientists are currently working on this very thing and they are making progress. Researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore have identified classes of organic chemicals that are capable of capturing CO2 from the...
