Guardian: Environment groups claiming 1.5 million supporters have written to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd demanding he reject a push by business leaders and state governments to wind back federal environmental laws. The Business Council of Australia and NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell have sought to use the change of prime minister to resurrect their campaign for the federal government to hand over environmental approval processes to the states in the interests of cutting "greentape". But Australian Conservation...

Guardian: Kevin Rudd is set to announce a new ministry and possibly also changes to carbon pricing policy as he races to renew Labor's image before the election.

Guardian: Rudd was elected in 2007 saying that climate change was the "the greatest moral, economic and environmental challenge of our generation". In many ways, 2007 was the climate change election.

MIT Technology News: Cutting our overall use of fossil fuels has proved a daunting challenge, but it might be possible to get some relief from the effects of climate change by selectively reducing the particulate pollution we produce.

2013-06-13 20:39:33| Powells Books Events Calendar
For a 2,000-year-old Druid, Atticus O'Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he's being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt — Artemis and Diana — for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound Oberon are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is... run like hell. Crashing the pantheon marathon is the Norse god Loki. The sixth book in The Iron Druid Chronicles, Kevin Hearne's bestselling series, Hunted (Del Rey Books) features the coolest, funniest, and most memorable urban fantasy hero since Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden.
