Greenpeace in the data center	30.3.2010	NewsTrust Yahoo Pipes Feed
In late 2006, I wrote a post about the energy consumption of modern computing plants, in which I made a prediction: As soon as activists, and the public in general, begin to understand how much electricity is wasted by computing and communication systems - and the consequences of that waste for the environment and in particular global warming - they'll begin demanding that the makers and users of information technology improve efficiency dramatically. Greenpeace and its rainbow warriors will soon storm the data center - your data center. Soon is now. Today, Greenpeace issued a report on "cloud computing and...

UN faces problems coping with natural disasters, minister warns	28.3.2010	The Guardian -- World Latest
Gareth Thomas says capacity to respond to disasters is not keeping up with pace of crises The UN will be unable to cope with the human cost of natural disasters expected over the next five years without more funds and urgent reforms, a government minister warned today. By 2015, it is predicted that the number of people around the world who will need to be rescued from natural catastrophes will rise by more than 100 million as more hurricanes, typhoons, floods and mudslides triggered by climate change add to the toll caused by earthquakes and man-made disasters. Gareth Thomas, the international development minister, said that the international community's capacity to respond had improved markedly in the past few years but was not keeping ...

National Geographic Warns Global Warming Leads to Increased Violence... Possibly Even 'Genocide'	26.3.2010	NewsTrust Yahoo Pipes Feed
Reporting on the findings of a new study released last week, Than repeated the study authors' estimate of increase in violence as temperatures climb: "[I]f the average temperature in the U.S. increases by 8 degrees Fahrenheit, the country's murder and assault rate will jump by about a hundred thousand cases a year ." Than also used temperature projections from the UN's IPCC, which has recently been forced to admit " flaws " in its reports since the ClimateGate scandal broke in November 2009. "A 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projected that global surface temperatures could rise by 2 to 11.5 degrees Fahrenheit" by 2100, he wrote without mentioning any of the criticisms of the IPCC or their own admission of ...

Britain Bans Ads Exaggerating Danger of Global Warming	17.3.2010	NewsBusters
A British agency has banned two government television ads for exaggerating the danger of global warming. In what we would call public service announcements in the States, the Department of Energy and Climate Change actually used nursery rhymes to scare people into thinking England was in imminent peril as a result of Nobel Laureate Al Gore's favorite money-making theory. As reported by BBC.com Wednesday: Two posters juxtaposed adapted extracts from popular nursery rhymes with text that warned about the dangers of global warning. One of the banned adverts read: "Rub a dub, three men in a tub, a necessary course of action due to flash flooding caused by climate change." And a second said Jack and Jill could not fetch a pail ...

Letters: Beef up our approach to food	16.3.2010	The Guardian -- World Latest
You performed the worthy task of providing exposure to the labour conditions associated with the UK meat industry ( Violence and abuse rife in food factories , 13 March). Indeed the EHRC investigation adds to the social science evidence base that has already argued that exploited people in this sector are "treated as animals". Yet your coverage fails to note the interwoven exploitation of animals and the pressing need to curtail the meat industry precisely because of its inequitable impact on exploited humans – not just in terms of labour conditions but also because of the relation between meat consumption with both impaired public health and anticipated contributions to climate change. Dr Richard Twine Lancaster • Isn't it time we ...

OPEC Expands Oil Rigs Most in Three Years as Quota Promises Prove Illusory (Bloomberg) -- OPEC is increasing oil drilling at the fastest rate in 2 1/2 years, even as production exceeds its quotas by the equivalent of a supertanker of crude a day and delegates prepare to pledge no increase in output. The 12-nation group boosted its number of oil and gas rigs by 8.4 percent in January and February, the biggest two-month gain since June 2007, data from Baker Hughes Inc. show. OPEC members excluding Iraq pumped 26.8 million barrels a day last month, 1.9 million more than targeted, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Shipments will rise again this month, according to tanker-tracker Oil Movements. While oil prices recovered from a four-year low at ...

Politics Confuse Public Perception of Climate Change	13.3.2010	AlterNet
Americans don’t know what to think about climate change anymore. A few years ago, the public more or less trusted the science that said human activity was raising global temperatures, but now that Congress and the Obama administration have hemmed and hawed about climate issues, we’re not longer so sure.
