A good paper that never the less fails to give the big picture. India & China are summed up as "Asia", geographically accurate but important to pin point. This reporter could also have reminded us that the federal government is only a part of the picture. An increasing number of US states, cities and companies are embrassing greenhouse gas cuts and starting to have an impact. A bit of prospective could have been done. Without checking this hint, i'd bet a dimme the european members of the G8 & Japan are pushing their arguments for a submit early 2009 (ie with the new US administration).

A nice positive story, perfect for a saturday morning reading. Although informative, it only scratches the big picture.

Very interesting analysis of the burdens the current US copyright law puts on a some non-profit educational projects through an overprotection of a vast majority of published works. .

Good insight article on an example of "unnatural" alliance that are beeing built to adress the threat of global warming.

An interesting paper on Marine Aquaculture. The author does list some of the drawbacks on this farming activity but forgot to integrate one of it's most important potential negative impacts : the food chain. Most fishs we like to eat are carnivorus, their growth therefore relies on nutriments usually made of ocean fish that humans discard. Without an alternative source of food for the fish raised in fish farms, the pressure on the world ocean fish stock will therefoe not ease.

A good story on an educational tool dedicated to global warming.

Interesting read on the priorities of different pro environment stake holders. Although it only shows a small angle of the "big picture", this article from the Guardian is a good start for who ever wishes to diminish their ecologic foot print.
