AAP: The Queensland government wants to pay for dredged seabed from a major coal port expansion to be dumped on land instead of in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The premier, Campbell Newman, announced on Monday that cabinet had approved a new disposal plan for dredge spoil at the Abbot Point coal port near Bowen, which would reuse the material on land. The federal environment minister, Greg Hunt, has been asked to fast-track the application. It comes despite North Queensland Bulk Ports...
Climate crisis merits Obama's action, whether Congress approves or not

Star-Ledger: The Republican stance on climate change has undergone a rhetorical evolution in the last few months -- from flat denials as disingenuous as Ronald Reagan`s "Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do," to an indifferent, "I`m not a scientist, but I`m skeptical that the science is accurate." It`s a marvelous meme. It is spectacularly wrong and criminally irresponsible -- which makes it pedagogically useful for thinkers and comedians the world over -- but it`s still a classic Republican tautology...

Egypt approves unified fixed, mobile licence for TE
2014-09-04 10:03:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Egypt's government has approved a long-awaited plan to issue a unified landline and mobile licence, opening the way for fixed-line monopoly Telecom Egypt to offer mobile services, reports Reuters. The government has also set up a committee comprising representatives from the ministries of telecommunications, finance, investment, commerce and others, to look at the best way for Telecom Egypt to exit Vodafone Egypt. Telecom Egypt was originally given a year to sell its 45 percent stake in Vodafone Egypt, once the unified licence was activated. The government said Telecom Egypt would now have to sell the stake by December 2015. The unified licence had been due to be activated on 30 June, but that date passed without implementation. In May, Telecom Egypt agreed to pay EGP 2.5 billion for permission to offer mobile services. It has been waiting for the details of the unified licence to be finalised. Egypt's three existing mobile service providers, Vodafone Egypt, Mobinil and Etisalat Egypt, will also gain the right to enter the market for fixed-line services, using Telecom Egypt's network.
