PEDALING FOR A CAUSE: Students see Keene as a model

For a group of college students pedaling around the Granite State on bicycles to raise awareness about climate change, Keene is apparently a model community.

New England Climate Summer is an unpaid internship program that sends students from around the country out on bicycles, participating in service projects and meeting with community leaders along the way.

Krill found to have hidden depths

Antarctic krill regularly feed on the seabed, scientists have found. Until now the tiny crustaceans were thought to live mainly near the ocean surface.
...
That's a huge change in our view of krill behavior. And because until now researchers have estimated their numbers using data from just the top 200m of water, there could be a lot more of them about than we've realised.
...
The krill may be moving deeper because climate change is making the surface waters too warm for comfort, Schmidt suggests.

Since 1982, what anthropogenic global warming processes would overlook the sea surface temperatures of 33% of the global oceans and have an impact on the other 67% but only in response to the significant El Niño events of 1986/87/88, 1997/98 and 2009/10?

Chris Mooney | The Science of Astroturfing

Flashback:  Gore to recruit 10m-strong green army | Environment | The Guardian

During the next three years, his Alliance for Climate Protection plans to spend $300m (about £150m) on television advertising and online organising to make global warming among the most urgent issues for elected American leaders.  [Question: If Al Gore's $300 million green army ever existed, would it have had any close ties to any corporations or special interests?  By the way, where did Al's $300 million come from?]
