Tampa Bay Times: In just seven words, Jane Long summed up three days of intense discussion last week about energy and climate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A senior scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund and a retired Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researcher, she turned to look at me after I told her I was from the Tampa Bay area.

Science World: Climate change is a huge issue, and is getting more attention than ever as policy makers try to think of ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Now, though, scientists have shown that they've paid inadequate attention to other greenhouse gases associated with livestock that may be more dangerous in the long run. In order to mitigate climate change, it will be necessary to reduce non-CO2 greenhouse gases. More specifically, cutting releases of methane and nitrous oxide will be crucial. These...

Vancouver Sun: In late November, most of Metro Vancouver's municipalities voted to accept the blue-box recycling system of something called Multi-Material B.C. MMBC is a non-profit, industryfunded group, and at the encouragement of the provincial government, it was formed, essentially, to turn the management of the civic blue-box recycling system on its head.
