EU greenhouse gas emissions estimated to increase in 2010, but long-term decrease expected to continue The European Union remains well on track to achieve its Kyoto Protocol target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions despite a 2.4 % emissions increase in 2010, according to first estimates by the European Environment Agency (EEA).

Sen. Bernie Sanders: Let's End Polluter Welfare At a time when we have more than $15 trillion national debt, American taxpayers are set to give away over $110 billion dollars to the oil, gas, and coal industries over the next decade. Clearly, we cannot afford it. When the five largest oil companies made over $1 trillion in profits in the last decade, with some paying no federal income taxes for part of that time, they certainly do not need it. It is time we end this corporate welfa..

Mathieu Young: Prey Lang: A Forest on the Brink of Destruction The forests of Cambodia, which the World Bank previously called its "most developmentally important natural resource," are being destroyed at an alarming rate, and to the financial benefit of the ruling elite.

Christiana Z. Peppard: Invasive Procedures Before a patient puts on his generic cotton tunic and hops onto a gurney in any United States hospital, he has talked through the benefits and costs of his surgery and has probably considered the long-term, indirect effects on his family or his company, too. For good reason, federal law mandates that a physician or medical researcher must inform her patient about all potential risks and benefits before an invasive procedure. The patien..

Cesar Millan: Should Microchipping Dogs Be Mandatory? I just heard a story in the news about a family who had lost their dog. They did everything to find him -- putting up posters, checking shelters -- nothing. Then, after two years, they get a phone call. Their dog was found. The person who found the dog took him to be scanned for a microchip and it showed who his family was and they were reunited. The chip's only as big as a grain of rice. It's usually implanted in the scruff of your..

The GMO Film Update As of today, you are most likely eating GMOs, and you probably don’t know it.  As we forge ahead on this film, I keep coming back to a really basic question for us here in North America - how is it possible that we are eating GMOs everyday, but we don't know about it Many people don't even know what a GMO is! (FYI: GMOs are genetically modified organisms.) ..

Having profited handsomely from the Wall Street bailouts, the Squid has smelled m..
