Floods kill 25 in southeast France
Southeast France is battling the worst flooding in 180 years as a result of Tuesday's heavy rains. Continuing thunderstorms and blackouts have plagued the area and made rescue efforts difficult, but water levels have now begun to subside and today's improved weather is a blessing for cleanup crews. From a report in the Irish Times: While rescue operations had wound down yesterday, the authorities did not exclude the possibility of further bodies being found as the muddy water receded. According to an article...
Cork it! – Screw caps bad for the environment
The rise of inexpensive non-European wines and convenience-obsessed consumer culture are threatening the ancient and sustainable cork industry. But besides the potential loss of long-established ‘green jobs’ and the fact that plastic stoppers and screw caps are bad for the environment, the cork industry also sustains large areas of industry-managed forests, which are hotspots for biodiversity. Large bird populations depend on these forests, as does the endangered Iberian Lynx. Cork forests are not cut down, but rather the trees are stripped...
Update: Sea Shepherd Attempts to Give Warrant, Japanese Whalers Evade Authority
Ever since we heard about the destruction of the Ady Gil and Sea Shepherd’s attempts to take legal action against Japan, they seemed to have slipped out of the news. Well, that isn’t entirely so. Last Friday (January 15, 2010), they decided to take legal action one step further. The Ady Gil is basically from New Zealand and apparently, under the New Zealand Crimes Act of 1961, a citizen holds the power to serve an arrest warrant for any suspected crime...
UK: Mysterious seal deaths likely caused by ducted propeller
The 50 or so seals that have been found dead in England and Scotland, marked by strange corkscrew wounds, are thought to have been killed by boat propellers. Researchers examined bodies of 12 dead seals recently found in Norfolk, England and found that the seals were probably killed by a certain type of boat propeller called a ‘ducted propeller’. Ducted propellers have non-rotating nozzles and are encircled by a duct or passageway, which could trap the seals as it slices them...
Climate change – lessons from history
Back at university, one of the first things my history professor said was that history does not repeat itself. It is sui generis: of its own kind, unique. What he wanted us to do was encourage us to examine historical events on their own merit and not simply as patterns that are predestined to duplicate themselves. Yet we do like to see patterns and it is indeed beneficial to learn from history so that we do not make the same...
Copenhagen climate change conference: ‘Fourteen days to seal history’s judgment on this generation’
*from yesterday (December 7th, 2009) This editorial calling for action from world leaders on climate change is published today by 56 newspapers around the world in 20 languages Today 56 newspapers in 45 countries take the unprecedented step of speaking with one voice through a common editorial. We do so because humanity faces a profound emergency. Unless we combine to take decisive action, climate change will ravage our planet, and with it our prosperity and security. The dangers have been becoming apparent for...
EVs in the UK: Fully electric cars on Britain’s roads!
About a month ago I was on the steamy, summery streets of London when I spotted a dreadlocked bohemian fellow with a little dog sitting in a car that wasn’t much bigger than a breadbox. The vehicle was squeezed into a parking space, which I think is normally reserved for skateboards and mopeds used for delivering pizza. Needless to say I was immediately stricken with puppy love – not for the doggy or the guy that looked like an extra...
California at risk from tropical disease and rising sea levels
Over the next century, what kind of impact will climate change have on California’s coastlines? Though coastal properties are prized for their views, they are ultimately a temporary luxury. In the long run, the closer to the beachfront a building is, the more susceptible it is to erosion, storms and sea air. Add rising sea levels into the equation and you’ve got prime real estate that risks being damaged sooner and more severely than previously anticipated. Economists at San Francisco State University...
Health care and private insurance: A conflict of interest
As an American who has lived in various European countries during the last ten years, I have an unusual, but perhaps insightful perspective on various health care systems. The cheapest and most efficient health care I ever experienced was during my teenage years and was provided by the US military, in the form of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center in Washington, DC. They weren't cushy and had lousy magazines, but these massive mega-mall style...
Critical Habitat to be Set Aside for Jaguars
Did you know that the mountain lion, lynx and bobcat are not the only big cats found throughout the US? There is actually one more found in the southwest: the Jaguar. Along with being found in the southwestern states, this cat’s territory sprawls throughout Mexico, Central and South America. However, at one point, they were almost completely wiped out from the states. Their population is currently on the decline and threats include: deforestation, poaching, hurricanes and humans. They are considered an endangered...
