- 19: It is possible that if he somehow won a new election Mousavi might prove to be a reformer in the Mikhail Gorbachev mode, pushing the dilapidated system so hard that it breaks. More likely, however, he will move away from some of Ahmadinejad’s most obnoxious policies but not fundamentally change the nature of the regime. This betrayal would be the saddest cut of all for the brave Iranians who dream of freedom and are now risking their lives to put him in power. (0)

- 11: Crimes Against Earth — Part II Seeding the Atmosphere with Clouds, One Vessel at a Time The Tracks visible in these clouds off the coasts of France and Spain form when small, airborne sulfate particles emitted by ships and airplanes act as a cloud condensation nuclei, or “seeds.” The accumulation of these seeds forms the thin streaks of clouds seen here. Clouds formed by these particles tend to be more reflective and carry more water than usual, but they don’t release much precipitation. In the aggregate, these clouds could have a big impact on the global climate. (0)

- 08: Crimes Against Earth — Part II Beijing: Gasping For Air Despite China’s heroic efforts to clean up the air for last year’s summer Olympics, Beijing remains buried under layers of pollution, the result of rapid industrialization. The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau recently announced a 12-month extension of its succesful traffic restriction program, which was implemented ahead of the games—along with tougher measures to curb emissions. A fifth of the city’s 3.6 million private vehicles and a third of the government vehicles stay off the streets. The city is barely perceptible in this SeaWiFS image, taken on November 20, 1999. (0)
- 07: Crimes Against Earth — Part II The Far East, The Nearly Choking Thanks to improved satellite sensors, scientists have begun to track pollution produced by East Asian forest fires, industrial waste, and urban exhaust. A study released last year estimated that an amount of pollution equivalent to 15 percent of emissions from the U.S. and Canada have traveled to North America from East Asia between 2002 and 2005. This image shows the pollution over Indonesia and the Indian Ocean in 1997. The white pixels represent the aerosols (smoke) leftover from the fires, while the green, yellow, and red pixels represent rising amounts of tropospheric ozone (smog). (0)

The Future of Food does a great job of touching on the major points that seriously need to be debated, considered, and brought to our awareness when it comes to genetically modifying food. (0)

With one million tons of bushmeat taken from African forests every year, the already endangered gorilla population—a primary victim of the trade—is in dire straits. This photo shows a gorilla family in southeast Cameroon (minus the alpha male silverback, who managed to get away) that had bee slaughtered in their nests by a bushmeat hunter early one morning. (0)

- 17: Crimes Against Earth Palm Oil = Deforestation = Greenhouse Gas Indonesia is home to the world’s third largest tropical forest, but not for long if we continue down this path. Though often illegal, the forests are cut down both for a booming pulp and paper industry as well as to clear land for palm oil plantations, which supply diverse industries from biofuel to soap to cosmetics. Because of the deforestation, Indonesia is also the world’s third largest greenhouse gas contributor, behind only the U.S. and China; after the forest is cut down, the carbon normally sequestered in the peatland soil is no longer shielded from being released into the atmosphere. It’s a long way to the top, but Indonesia is on the fast track—to the wrong “top” of the pile. (0)
- 17: The biggest positive news in recent days has come from banks, which have been announcing surprisingly good earnings. But some of those earnings reports look a little … funny… Goldman Sachs announced a huge jump in profits from fourth-quarter 2008 to first-quarter 2009. But as analysts quickly noticed, Goldman changed its definition of “quarter” (in response to a change in its legal status), so that — I kid you not — the month of December, which happened to be a bad one for the bank, disappeared from this comparison.

- 16: Crimes Against Earth Nile Perch in Lake Victoria: Introduced Devastation of an Ecosystem The Nile Perch is illegal to possess or sell in some parts of the world, and is thought to have caused the extinction or endangering of hundreds of native species. This species—one of the 100 most invasive species in the world—was introduced to East Africa’s Lake Victoria in the 1950s and has wreaked environmental havoc ever since. After the fish eliminated much of the algae-eating population, the lake become choked with algae. The Perch has also increased local demand for firewood because their higher fat content drives people to smoke them rather than dry them. Adult perch can grow to weigh more than 440 pounds, and are fierce predators that feed on insects, crustaceans, and other fish—even its own kind. (0)

- 15: Crimes Against Earth Decapitated Mountains Mountaintop removal is just what it sounds like: Explosives are used to blast away the tops of mountains to get at the coal reserves that power companies want for producing energy. The mountain is first deforested (since no vegetation will survive anyway), the topsoil removed, and the “overburden” is dumped into neighboring valleys, damaging nearby steams and rivers. Practiced mostly in the Appalachian Mountains, where at least one million acres have been devastated to date, mountaintop removal is controversial because of its often irreversible effects on the environment.

- 14: Crimes Against Earth Pollution and Power Lines in Northern China In recent years, China’s economy has boomed; so has its pollution problem, leaving no aspect of the country’s environment unaffected. Solid waste often lacks proper disposal, waterways have been polluted, and the air quality has plummeted, largely due to the coal-fired power plants that serve as the country’s primary source of energy. Environmental degradation has gotten so bad that the Chinese government, which doesn’t easily take—or allow—criticism, has admitted that birth defects in the country have increased as a direct result of it, particularly in coal-producing regions, such as the north, where the photo above was taken. It’s a shame that thousands of children with birth defects must be born for China to even think about change, let alone confirm this atrocity. (0)

- 13: Crimes Against Earth The Ever-Lasting Indian Chemical Spill More than 40 tons of methyl isocyanate spilled from a Union Carbide-owned pesticide factory in Bhopal, India, in 1984, killing more than 20,000 people in the world’s worst chemical disaster. After the spill, these skulls were researched at the nearby Hamidia Hospital, presumably for the specific effects the gas had on the brain. The chemical injured not only the people who inhaled it, but also nearby animals (at least 2,000 of them) and trees, whose leaves went yellow and fell off within days. Twenty five years later, with people still claiming injury from the disaster and little corrective action having been taken, the government of India has called for a study into the long-term effects of the spill.

Coal ash is known to contain dangerous elements including arsenic, lead, and selenium, yet the TVA refused at first to issue any health warnings about contamination from the spill. The agency (who admitted prior leak problems weeks later) also refused intially to declare as uninhabitable the houses in the area (like the one in the photo) that were physically relocated by all the sludge. Amazing, isn’t it? (0)

This is a man who three times voted for infanticide in Illinois. He tried to excuse it any number of ways, but this is a man who voted three times that if a baby survives an abortion, it may still be killed because of the mother’s original intent to abort it. If the abortion is botched, the doctor can go ahead and complete the job outside the womb. He voted for it three times. That’s — I mean, that, to me — I don’t know what — care what your position on abortion is, but now we’re not talking about abortion, not when the child has been born outside the womb and is alive. And Obama voted three times to support the notion of infanticide. (0)
