- I Predict 100 Bad Hurricane-Season Predictions This Year: Predictions about the upcoming hurricane season are notoriously bad, reports The Wall Street Journal. So why does the MSM continue to give them big press?
- Another Day, Another Giant Antarctic Ice Shelf Breaks Off: This one is the size of New York City, reports Reuters. (Hat tip: Hill Heat.)
- Political Climate Shift? U.S. Senator Arlen Specter shocked the political world by switching parties yesterday — but what would a filibuster-proof Senate mean for climate change legislation? Environmental Capital explores, and Hill Heat reviews Specter’s voting record on the Obama Administration’s green economic proposals.
- Organic Free-Range Chicken of the Sea: Could open-ocean-farmed fish be the answer to declining fish stocks…not to mention the pollution and ecological stress caused by conventionally farmed fish? (Hat tip: Blogfish.)
- A Stitch in Time: Researchers have been able to “sew” large sponge corals to reefs — a promising new development for reef restoration, reports Journal Watch Online.
