Can palm oil move past its bad reputation?

Mongabay: Indonesias palm oil industry has gained a notorious reputation in recent years. Palm oil companies are routinely accused of clearing primary forests, destroying the habitats of endangered species, releasing massive amounts of carbon by draining peat swamps and fueling land conflicts with local communities. In the face of this widespread criticism, some palm oil companies are exploring ways to clean up their operations by implementing innovative programs to minimize harm to the environment and...

Antarctic glacier thinned as rapidly in past

That is because the enormous glacier, which constitutes 10 percent of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is thinning rapidly, allowing more and more of its land-based ice to reach the sea. How fast this rapid thinning goes on, and for how long, will determine how quickly sea levels rise in the future. Now, a group of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey, working with...

Antarctic glacier shrank quickly in the past

Ars Technica: We recently covered some research on Greenlands Jakobshavn Ice Stream, the worlds fastest glacier. While nothing on Antarctica can match that speed, the continent has ice streams of its own. Many have been shrinking, too--retreating and thinning as melting at the coast pulls continental ice out to die in the sea. Of particular note is the Pine Island Glacier (PIG, for short). This massive glacier flows into the Amundsen Sea, and was the source of the 35km wide iceberg that made news last November....
