While the authors were cautious about drawing conclusions from the data, they noted that the change corresponded with a “great salinity anomaly” that took place in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when a pulse of cold water flowed from the Arctic into the northern Atlantic Ocean. The water, which was unusually fresh, likely originated from melting ice. At the same time, the Pacific Ocean was also cooling, though the reasons remain unknown.
Governor Richardson Leads the Nation – Makes New Mexico Proud, wrote meepdog: “Governor Richardson has taken a bold step toward protecting the nation’s remaining wild horses and wildlife with his 9/16/2010 announcement that the State of New Mexico is purchasing the 12,000 acre Ortiz Mountain Ranch to create a wild horse sanctuary. This is a strong message in opposition to the Secretary of Interior Salazar’s current plan that removes wild horses – our living heritage – from the West, to holding pens, at great and unnecessary on-going cost to tax payers.”.
I have seen wild dolphins feed before. It quickly became much more active, darting through the water and exploding on schools of fish. Devsd had fun on A day with the greatest fishermen. Dolphins: “At first I saw one dolphin. It would appear every once in a while. They are creatures of amazing power and grace.”. I saw them coming right into the breakers as I was was surf fishing, but never before saw them this close.
Dan Bacher posted four diaries, two about animals, in general, and two about playing with their genes while growing them for food: Death on the Delta: Big Fish Kill Under Investigation: “The California Department of Fish and Game is currently investigating the deaths of over 1,500 fish, the majority striped bass, after a contractor working for Chevron Oil Company drained a large duck pond along north Honker Bay in Solano County. The fish kill at Wheeler Island was reported to authorities last week through the efforts of Jerry Neuburger, webmaster for the California Fisheries Network (http://www.calfish.net), after he received photos and an eyewitness account of hundreds of stripers dying in this area at the beginning of Labor Day weekend.”.
Consumer Watchdog also peeked at Big Oil Behind The Tea: “When Californians angry about oil companies’ attempt to repeal the state’s greenhouse gas emission cap went to confront the oil refiner behind Prop 23′s power play, they found the Tea Party in their way. What’s an angry populist movement that’s supposed to represent real people doing defending oil companies? It’s a question the New York Times could have answered in its otherwise excellent editorial today, The Brothers Koch and AB 32. Petroleum magnates Charles and David Koch fund both Prop 23′s greenhouse gas cap repeal and The Tea Party.”.
If they succeed it will be a major setback to (1) responsible action regarding the threat of climate change, (2) the development of green industries and jobs, (3) weaning ourselves from dependence on foreign sources of dirty fossil fuels and (4)environmental protection.”. Steven D did the same, with a focus on another of some notorious brothers in Koch’s Greed Could Kill CA Climate Change Law: “It should come to no one’s surprise that two of the wealthiest men in America, Charles and David Koch, who just happen to own Koch Industries, a holding company with major investments in the Oil and Gas Industry are attempting to defeat, for their own grubby little purposes landmark climate change legislation in California.
Kratovil was the first Democrat elected to represent this Republican-leaning district (McCain won the district 59-40% in the 2008 election) in 18 years. This fall, Kratovil will face Republican State Senator Andy Harris, whom he narrowly defeated in 2008.”. NRDCActionFund looked at the race in MD-01 in the diary, Congressional Candidates’ Views on Clean Energy, Climate Change: “Maryland’s eastern shore remained virtually unchanged from Revolutionary War times until the 1950s when the region began to grow vigorously, with second home buyers, retirees and commuters crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Maryland’s first Congressional District comprises the eastern shore, plus part of Anne Arundel, Baltimore and Hartford counties, and has been represented by Democrat Frank Kratovil since 2009.
The direct financial ROI for that capital investment could, easily, be many times over due to eliminating those kerosene costs. Suggesting a blend of two good ideas, A Siegel informed us about Energy Smart Micro-Lending: “To another subject, the potential for helping people ill-served by existing fossil-foolish energy systems leap frog to energy efficiency systems powered with clean (renewable) energy is a developing empowering path around much of the world. Once paid off, there are years of now ‘free’ and clean energy services.”. For example, an LED-light/solar power with battery combination can be had for the cost of a few months of kerosene for a home lamp.

The Fox Republican Network only reports that the scientists were being investigated, but never reported that they were cleared of any wrong-doing.”.
