Evangelical Christians Fight To Stop Global Warming? Posted by Pile (6672 views) [E-Mail link]	[Environment]

More Evidence Of Man's Influence In Global Climate Posted by Pile (7660 views) [E-Mail link]	[Environment]
Scientists working with Antarctic ice have found that the level of greenhouse gases is at the highest level in over half a million years. Carbon dioxide is 27% higher now than any other time over the last 650 000 years. Methane, an even stronger greenhouse gas is 130% higher. The period of time studied covers eight full glacial cycles including a time when the earth's position relative to the sun is the same as it is today. Other scientists have found that the annual rate at which the sea has risen since the industrial revolution is twice that of over the last 5000 years. It is predicted that by 2100 the sea level will be 40cm higher. These results provide strong evidence that human activity since the industrial revolution, rather than just natural processes, has strongly altered the world's climate. As one of the scientists involved in the research put it: 'The levels of primary greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide are up dramatically since the Industrial Revolution, at a speed and magnitude that the Earth has not seen in hundreds of thousands of years.'"

Forest Service Fires Official Who Complained About Pesticide Use Posted by Pile (6993 views) [E-Mail link]	[Environment]
A U.S. Forest Service official who voiced concerns about alleged pesticide misuse in forests across the Southwest has been fired. Doug Parker, who worked as the pesticide coordinator and assistant director of forestry health for the agency's Southwestern region, told The Associated Press that he was removed from his duties last week because his supervisor said he failed to follow instructions. Parker, who has not spoken publicly about his case, worked for the agency for nearly four decades and said he was proud to wear the Forest Service uniform. "The whole reason behind this is I reported some significant pesticide misuse problems to the regional forester and they don't want to have controls over this process"

What Really Went Wrong With Katrina? Hurricane FEMA Posted by Pile (9691 views) [E-Mail link]	[Environment]
While everyone points fingers at state, local and federal authorities regarding how things went wrong in the Hurricane disaster planning, including claims by both FEMA and Bush that "nobody anticipated a disaster like this", truth is starting to seep out that this is complete BS. As the ex-FEMA director points fingers at the Louisiana Governor & other locals, insiders who were involved in the government's hurricane plan show who was really at fault.

Katrina Hits BSAlert Posted by Pile (10319 views) [E-Mail link]	[BSAlert exclusive] [Environment]
In case anyone was wondering why the site was down or hasn't been updated in a little while, this is because our servers were located in New Orleans and the hurricane affected us all. As I write this, I'm still in the middle of this, operating on generator power in a very dark, scary city. More later, but I think the site is back online and solid now.
