Thumbnail image for FADs and Long-lines: Two Dirty Little Secrets by Greenpeace September 27, 2011

Thumbnail image for When MurdochGate Met ClimateGate by Moments Count July 20, 2011

From Keith Olbermann I’m cross-posting this from our Current website because, well, because. And because the Murdoch Phone-Hacking Scandal may have just metastasized.

Terraform Earth

Thumbnail image for Terraform Earth by Mark Fraser June 8, 2011

“Terra-forming” – that’s a theory about taking a world like mars and making it Earth-like. It’s a fascinating scientific endeavor into the possibility of making another planet or even a moon somehow become new habitat for our own species. Now that’s an interesting subject when you think about it. During my life growing up in [...]

Thumbnail image for They live right beside us …. Really! by Mark Fraser March 12, 2011
