Columbia Dispatch: The hills are beautiful, a rolling, green landscape of grasses and shrubs under a late-summer sky. But it is starkly different from what was in this part of northwestern New Mexico before: vast forests of ponderosa pine. The repeated blazes that devastated the trees were caused by simple things: an improperly extinguished campfire in 1996, a tree falling on a power line in 2011. What happened after the fire, however -- or, more accurately, what has not happened -- was a departure from the normal...

This week we heard a Pope speak and then we had to listen to people tell us he has endorsed what they believe. No. He hasnt and didnt.

Toronto Star: By making the oilsands the engine of economic growth, Canada has bet its economy against the climate. Its a myth that a thriving oilsands industry and a livable climate can be easily reconciled. The brutal math of climate change confronts that myth, and thats why in Canada this math is taboo. NDP candidate Linda McQuaig breached this taboo when she uttered the words a lot of the oilsands oil may have to stay in the ground. An uproar ensued. Even though McQuaigs statement was based in undeniable...
