Can e-reading save print media?l; Does the print edition of the New York Times give you kidney stones?

Papers, a key villain in the global-warming saga, have managed to survive through thick and thin. Of course, publishers have been dropping like flies around the world, but the fact that we still see newspapers, magazines and other periodicals in their current forms stacking the news stands is simply a wonder.

Commercial space travel: what it might feel like | Stuff.co.nz

Greenpeace NZ's Bunny McDiarmid says space flights are going to happen, so the ideal is that "everything we do has to be seen through a climate-change [hoax] lens". If it's not going to be beneficial, we should seriously look at whether we should do it, she says. Thompson suggests putting into place a monitoring programme to measure space flight emissions.

They were in a powerless pickle. Solar and sail had failed them and green intentions will not float your boat - they were not so much "carbon neutral" as carbon deprived. Bobbing around the North Atlantic in a gale without motor power of any kind is not the most soothing experience. Fortunately, Providence, in one of its most artful facsimiles, was on hand in the shape of the Overseas Yellowstone - a ship that was, to put it mildly, not relying on solar power or a wind turbine.

Still, it's hard not to be mildly amused when the cracking up of the Wilkins ice bridge in Antarctica earns worldwide front-page screamers, complete with full-colour pictures from space, while the fact that the extent of Antarctic sea ice has increased at a rate of 100,000 square kilometres a decade since the 1970s gets a column on the inside pages. It is as if we WANT to embrace bad news rather than consider that it is not the whole story.

Some 2008 N.D. corn remains in fields | Grand Forks Herald | Grand Forks, North Dakota

Some North Dakota corn farmers are battling last winter’s snow all over again. Tens of millions of dollars for the state’s farm economy rests on the outcome.The snow that prevented farmers from finishing their corn harvest late last year has now melted, and runoff has flooded fields, making them too soggy to support heavy combines. Instead of planting a new crop this spring, farmers such as Terry McMillan are still waiting to cut down standing stalks and finish last year’s harvest.
...
About 10 percent of North Dakota’s corn crop — an estimated 20 million bushels — had to be left in the fields over the winter. Lilja estimates more than half of the standing corn has been harvested this spring, but the amount remaining in the field is unprecedented for the month of May.
