The protesters, upset over a 1,000-whale hunt they deem illegal -- but which was OK'd by the International Whaling Commission as a scientific pursuit -- have dumped a safe but stench-ridden acid on whali ...

A Different Angle On eco-choices	Umbra Fisk	20 Dec 2006	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, While I usually love your column, I have to take issue with encouraging people to eat sushi. This is the second "green" site I have seen that proposes the solution to overfishing is to eat different fish. Saying "of course you can continue to eat at sushi restaurants without feeling guilty" amounts to pandering to people who are concerned about environmental problems but are not willing to make meaningful ...

Unusual Weather We're Having, Ain't It? Number-crunchers say 2006 on track to be the sixth-hottest on record As 2006 limps to a close, it's measuring in as the world's sixth-hottest year on record. It's the warmest Britain has seen since wenches were hoisting tankards of grog (er, since records began in 1659), and the third-warmest in the U.S.'s Lower 48 since 1880. Weird weather has gripped the globe ...

The Good Phyto Global warming affects ocean's tiny plants, which could affect global warming Proving that big things do come in small packages, researchers say global warming could hobble the teeniest marine organisms, phytoplankton -- which could, in turn, lead to more warming. Whuh-huh? Well, these wee plants not only make a tasty sea snack, they provide a vital piece of climate-change resistance by absorbing carbon dioxide -- more ...

Wake Up, Little Sushi On sustainable sushi	Umbra Fisk	29 Nov 2006	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, My wife and I love sushi, but we're increasingly concerned about sustainable harvesting.

There's no sensation in the world like letting a slab of sashimi salmon dissolve in your mouth, but can my wife and I continue to enjoy sushi without feeling guilty? What can people like us -- environmental ...

Nothing New Under the Sea After days of negotiations, U.N. fails to pass high-seas bottom-trawling ban In a roughy outcome for conservationists, the U.N. failed to adopt a high-seas bottom-trawling ban supported by countries including the U.S. and Australia.

Demand in the Roughy Deep-sea trawling puts ecosystems in deep trouble, says U.N. report		17 Nov 2006	Daily Grist
Demand in the Roughy Deep-sea trawling puts ecosystems in deep trouble, says U.N. report Deep-sea trawling is bad. How bad? Uh, pretty bad. Turns out raking gigantic fishing nets across the ocean floor shatters millennia-old coral, raises smothering clouds of sediment, and destroys underwater mountains. "It's the equivalent of clearing old-growth forest to collect squirrels," says researcher Alex Rogers, who helped prep ...
