- Your flat screen TV could be killing the planet, read all about it
- There's a research paper being much-touted in the tech and green press: concludes that nitrogen trifluoride is many times worse for the earth's atmosphere than methane or CO2 or the more popular greenhouse gases. That nitrogen trifluoride, also known as NF3, its chemical formula, is used in making...you got...

- Germany uses n-word to describe American policies
- Wow, when you get blasted by a German government minister, they get...well, anthropomorphic in their insults. The German official in question called American policies on global warming "Neanderthal." And Germans know their Neanderthals, that country was host of the first-known Neanderthal bones ever found. I...

- Kansas Kisses up to King Koal
- Coal may be winning the political battle that began last fall when the Kansas E.P.A. turned down a permit request to build two more coal-fired electricity generating plants there. Now the Kansas legislature appears to be ready to pass legislation that pleases coal and pays lip-service to the environment....

- Carbon dioxide is natural so what's the problem?
- Well, there's a publication coming from a Stanford scientist that says the problem is: CO2 can kill you. That explains why the E.P.A. is so anitpathetic to all those states trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The E.P.A. is about protecting the ENVIRONMENT, they could give a crap...

- A suicide pact for humanity? U.S. and Europe agree to footnote emission targets
- The European Union and the United States have reached agreement at the climate change conference in Bali. They'll include target numbers for emission reduction by industrial nations, but those numbers will go in a footnote. So the E.U. gets their 25-40% greenhouse gas emissions cuts by 2020 into...
