A Little Knowledge Is a Dangerous Thing		30 May 2002	Daily Grist
A Little Knowledge Is a Dangerous Thing Does access to information protect us, or put us at risk? That question is at the heart of an environmental debate that's taken on a different shape -- and different stakes -- since Sept. 11. At issue is the public's right to know about chemical plants and other factories manufacturing hazardous materials. Environmentalists maintain that people have a right to know about haz ...

Grim Reefer		26 Feb 2002	Daily Grist
Grim Reefer Coral reefs are usually associated with the balmy blue waters of the tropics, but the amazing underwater kingdoms exist in cooler climes, too -- at least for now. A new study by French, British, and Norwegian scientists found that 4,500-year-old reefs in the northeastern Atlanti ...

Patriot Missiles		06 Dec 2001	Daily Grist
Patriot Missiles Hopping aboard the post-Sept. 11 anti-terrorism bandwagon, some Republicans have set their sights on so-called eco-terrorists. U.S. Rep.

Don't Come on In, the Water's Warm A beachside nuclear reactor in Brazil leaked thousands of gallons of slightly radioactive water in May, but the public didn't learn about the problem until the Brazilian magazine Epoca broke the news earlier this week.

Boxy but Good		28 Aug 2001	Daily Grist
Boxy but Good Greenpeace and the small London-based group Families Against Bush are using consumer pressure to try to embarrass corporations into supporting the Kyoto treaty on climate change. Earlier this summer, the groups put the heat on Ford by highlighting a rift between the U.S. automaker and its Swedish subsidiary Volvo. Volvo publicly supports Kyoto; Ford does not. A ...

On De Loose		16 Aug 2001	Daily Grist
On De Loose Greenpeace U.K. is in a tizzy because of mysterious DNA found in Monsanto's Roundup Ready soybeans, the world's most widely grown genetically engineered crop. The unexpected string of DNA, which was found by Belgian government and university scientists, is located next to the corn's inserted gene, provoking the enviro group to accuse Monsanto of not knowing as much about its product as it should.

The Price of Whales		18 Jul 2001	Daily Grist
The Price of Whales A week before the International Whaling Commission is due to meet in London, a Japanese official has admitted that his country is using cash to help persuade countries to vote to lift an international ban on whaling. Japan's fisheries minister, Maseyuku Komatsu, told Australian television today that Japan must use overseas aid as one way to influence countries that are members of the IWC. Six Caribbea ...

Give Greenpeace a Chance	Ben White	08 Sep 2000	Muckraker
By now the trials and tribulations that have befallen Greenpeace USA in recent years are well-known. In the biggest blowup, the entire board resigned after bickering with Greenpeace International-backed Executive Director Kristen Engberg over the direction and organization of the redoubtable environmental group. Current and former staffers ranted about Engberg's leadership style, which they described as based on intimidation. Engberg loyalists ...

Fire on the Mountain	Ben White	13 Apr 2000	Muckraker
Enviros in Washington are apoplectic over what they fear will be a pre-Earth Day cave-in by the Clinton administration over mountaintop-removal mining in West Virginia. This used to be a mountain. Photo: David Miller, www.mountaintopmining.org. Readers may recall this battle from last year's appropriations season, when powerful Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) introduced a rider that would have bypassed a federal judge's ruling against the destructive mini ...

How Will the West Be Won?	Ben White	27 Mar 2000	Muckraker
In our last column, we promised to put the presidential campaign on the back burner and take a look at some of the key House and Senate races likely to decide control of the 107th Congress, as well some of the competitive gubernatorial contests. Instead of attempting to cover the entire country in one column (a feat exhausting for both reader and columnist), we will begin this week with the Pacific region and move on in subsequent columns thr ...

Sierra Club Can't Take a Leak	Ben White	12 Jan 2000	Muckraker
A memo circulated recently around the Sierra Club's offices highlighted the "Top Ten" reasons the group should not endorse Vice Pres. Al Gore. The memo, written by Sierra Club board member Michael Dorsey and unearthed by the Washington Times last week, says: "Does Vice President Gore really care about nature? Does he care about protecting people from hazardous waste and toxic pollution? Does he care about human life and the fu ...

What's So Funny About Greenpeace, Love, and Understanding? Part II	Ben White	20 Dec 1999	Muckraker
Last week, we aired the ranting of a former Greenpeace USA staffer about the current state of the organization in the wake of the recent decision by the board of directors to resign en masse. This week, we offer a forum to Craig Culp, director of media affairs at Greenpeace, who, shall we say, was less than thrilled at the anonymous flame from the former staffer. Culp said the board simply came to a po ...

It's Miller Time in Cali	Ben White	10 Dec 1999	Muckraker
Bill Bradley has not been particularly competitive with Vice Pres. Gore in the world of endorsements and establishment support within the Democratic Party. In fact, he's been roundly trounced. Gore boasts scores of supporters in Congress and among various and sundry party potentates scattered across the country. Gore also leads in endorsements from labor unions and other traditional Democratic interest groups. (Readers know that greenie groups bu ...
