Here’s what’s lighting up our blog radar this morning:

• Rabbit, Run: A new study in the Journal of Applied Ecology says removing invasive species can lead to ecosystem meltdown.
• Enviro vs. Enviro: An experiment by the German science ministry to test the ability of algal blooms to sequester carbon came under fire from environmentalists and was suspended, reports Red Green and Blue.
• Here, Fluffy… the Fish? The Vine debates the merits of PETA’s new campaign to re-imagine fish as sea kittens.
• Efficiency Is Top Priority: Obama’s nominee for Energy Secretary says efficiency is his number one priority. (Hat-tip: Environmental Leader.)
• An Oldie but a Goodie: Check out Eoin O’Carroll’s climate change video of the week.
• Coping with Climate Change: The outlook for Bangladesh is particularly grim, says journalist Mason Inman. Sea level rise, threatened water supplies and fiercer storms are on the horizon. (Hat-tip: Climate Feedback.)
• Celebrity Protest: Emma Thompson, Alastair McGowan and other famous Brits are trying to prevent Heathrow from building a third runway. The BBC’s Richard Black comments on the developing story.
• Where to Store all those Wood Chips? A new wood chip boiler will be helping keep students at Vermont’s Middlebury College warm this winter.
• Green Detroit: Low Impact Living has a run-down on the green cars being showcased at the 2009 Auto Show this week.
• More Marine Reserves Needed: A new study says we need to make better progress on MPAs. Admittedly, the study was finished before Bush’s recent designation of new marine reserves, but the point is still important.
