A very few BFP commenters (it seems with an agenda to discredit the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary and donor Peter Allard) posted information that the people of Barbados shouldn’t even want to own the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary as it is (so they say) a liability, not an asset.
Nevermind the issue of a clean and […]

Rembrandt at the Oil Drum has two interesting posts here and here. Briefly, it’s possible to inject the CO2 generated by combustion into the earth.

The Grist ran its interview on John Edwards today, and recently had a column by Umbra about the eco-correctness of bird feeders. As one who feeds birds, I found it interesting (the thing about the feeders, though the Edwards interview is interesting, too).
