In 90 percent of the cases of change in wildlife behavior or populations, the ...

Threat Laid Bear Polar bears threatened, but drilling in their habitat still OK, says Interior		14 May 2008	News
Posted at 11:47 AM on 14 May 2008 Polar bears are a threatened species, Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne announced Wednesday -- but that doesn't mean we can't drill in their habitat! The "threatened" designation means the bear could become endangered if conservation steps aren't taken; it puts polar bears on the endangered-species list but in effect allows Interior to pick and choose which ...

Northern Exposure Melting Arctic ice poses security threat, says Pentagon		14 May 2008	News
Posted at 10:09 AM on 14 May 2008 Waterways made navigable by melting Arctic ice pose a security threat to the northern U.S. border, says the Pentagon. The shrinking ice cap has led to increased interest in tourism and energy development in the Arctic, and the extra traffic makes the Pentagon wary. "The Arctic is a new area that is important to us because of the changes in ice flows," says Air Force General Gene ...

May of Reckoning Polar-bear listing decision must be made by May 15, says judge		29 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 9:55 AM on 29 Apr 2008 The last time we checked in with the laggardly Interior Department, it was saying it needed until June 30 to decide whether to place polar bears on the endangered-species list. But the department had better find its Decider Pants soon, as a federal judge has sided with green groups to impose a new deadline of May 15. "Other than the general complexity of finalizing the rule, def ...

The Horn of a Dilemma Narwhals more at risk than polar bears, says study		25 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 3:10 PM on 25 Apr 2008 Polar bears get all the press, but climate change may be even harder on the narwhal, says new research. Narwhals, the whales whose long spiral tusks kick-started the myth of unicorns, top a list of 11 at-risk Arctic marine mammals published in the journal Ecological Applications. Hooded seals, bowhead whales, and walrus rounded out the top five, while ringed seals and bearded seals, which a ...

P is for Procrastination Polar bear listing decision delayed, again		18 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 8:22 AM on 18 Apr 2008 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has announced that it needs 10 more weeks to decide whether to list polar bears as a threatened or endangered species. The agency's self-imposed deadline is now June 30; the original deadline was Jan. 9. The USFWS says it needs time to review the legal and policy implications of a listing, but litigious greens suspect the delay may have something to do with the ...

Posted at 10:23 AM on 17 Apr 2008 Nicholas Stern, the British economist known for a major report in which he declared that combating climate change would cost less than ignoring it, has announced that he was wrong -- about how bad the problem is. "We badly underestimated the degree of damages and the risks of climate change" in the Oct. 2006 report, he said in a speech Wednesday. "All of the links in the chain ...

Time Flies When You're Procrastinating EPA just doesn't have time to make CO2 decision, says official		16 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 8:22 AM on 16 Apr 2008 Remember how the U.S. EPA was instructed by the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether carbon dioxide should be regulated as a pollutant? And how that was more than a year ago? A senior EPA official said in a speech this week that "given the time frame available to the agency, it's not realistic" to expect that the EPA will make that decision before the ...

What's Your Hurricane? Link between climate change and stronger hurricanes becomes fuzzier		14 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 3:24 PM on 14 Apr 2008 Climate change may not in fact make hurricanes more frequent and intense, says new research published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.

Troubles a-Brewing Climate change affects -- noooooooo! -- beer		09 Apr 2008	News
