Washington Post: Last week, I noted a staggering statistic: Raging fires in Indonesia -- the result of both this years El Nino event and the clearing of forests and draining of peatlands -- have apparently given off as much carbon dioxide to the atmosphere as Germany does in a year by burning fossil fuels. The key reason is that about half of the fires are burning on carbon packed peatlands. Taken together, the impact of peat fires on global warming may be more than 200 times greater than fires on other lands,...

He has also in the past received $1,000 per month from the Heartland Institute and had two books published by the Cato Institute, among other affiliations with fossil fuel-funded think tanks. Goklanys affiliation...

New Scientist: Carbon nanotubes have turned up in the lungs of children living in Paris - the first time they have been detected in humans. Incredibly strong, light and conductive, nanotubes have shown great potential in areas such as computing, clothing and healthcare technology. Nevertheless, there has been some concern over their use after mouse studies showed that injected nanotubes can cause immune reactions similar to those produced by asbestos. To investigate, Fathi Moussa and colleagues at the University...
