Wall Street Journal: When President Barack Obama hired John Podesta, an outspoken environmentalist who opposes the Keystone XL pipeline, as his special adviser late last year, many environmentalists anticipated that they were getting a strong ally in the West Wing. Maybe so. But on Wednesday, Mr. Podesta showed that he's not afraid to push back at environmental groups when he feels they're going too far.

Blame the California drought, which has dried up the grass that gives farmers the right to slap the label organic on their meat and milk. Its not hard to win that label from the US department of agriculture: farmers just have to make sure that their cows graze on local grass for food, at least four months out of the year. Since the drought, theres no grass, so the old definition of organic no longer applies. Two months into the grazing...

Supporters and opponents of the transnational pipeline were both quick to claim victories regarding the US State Department report released Friday, which raised no major objections to the project.

APRIL green pledge falls short, say environmentalists

Mongabay: Asia Pacific Resources International Holdings Ltd (APRIL), Indonesia's second-largest pulp and paper producer, has announced a new environmental policy that aims to stem criticism about its forestry practices, which include large-scale conversion of rainforests and peatlands in Sumatra. But environmentalists say the pledge falls far short of the commitment made by APRIL's biggest competitor, Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), last year. The policy, announced with much fanfare Tuesday in Jakarta, commits APRIL...
