Britney Spears Looking for Something Greener
Britney Spears is looking for something greener, quieter, something with a big backyard where she can hang out or is it let things hang out. When I saw this news I thought Britney was looking to help out with the green movement; she's not. She's looking for a new house. She also wants something that is 'less trafficked', something where ...
North Pole Ice Free This Summer?
A U.S. scientist will blame global warming if ships are able to sail over the normally frozen over North Pole at the top of our globe. Frankly, I'd like to make the trip in a ship. I mean, how often do you get to do that sort of thing? The scientist from the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center ...
“China and India Have Right to Grow”
Japan's PM Yasuo Fukuda says "countries like China and India ''are part of the international deal,'' but that they have the ''right to grow in the way that we grew.'" Some might argue that considering the size of those two countries, but nevertheless, Japan will be hosting the G-8 leaders from July 7-9th and Brazil, China and India have been ...
Green-Haired Chinese Star, Zhou Xun, Promotes Trendshealth
Trendshealth is a new magazine in China promoting green living concepts. Zhou Xun is a tiny (yet, BIG) Chinese movie star. (Can you say Zhang Ziyi?) Zhou Xun was also appointed as a National Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Program. But Green-haired Zhou Xun? We don't mind. And if she get help get one-fourth of the world's population to ...
The Glaciers are NOT Melting
We've all been fooled. The glaciers really aren't melting. They've been stolen. Some sneaky Japanese people wanting to raise awareness about global warming traveled north or east, I am not sure, and stole huge hunks of a glacier and brought them to Hokkaido. It reminds me of the mentality of bringing in animals to zoos so we can study them ...
Tony Blair Gives PM Shinzo Abe “Globe Award”
I'm a Tony Blair Fan. The man has scruples, faith. He is no dummy for sure. If former PM Blair thinks highly of someone, that person is likely to get my vote as well. Tony Blair gave another former PM, Shinzo Abe of Japan the "Globe Award" for showing international leadership in global environmental issues. The award was presented at a ...
Laser Remote Sensing Cars to Fight High Emission Vehicles
Tokyo Tells Large Buildings to Cut CO2 Emissions. Now, Beijing is banning high-emission vehicles. For whatever reason these kinds of things remind me of a ceasefire in a war. If they can stop now, or for a while, why can't they stop for good? Yellow vehicles are those with, surprise, a yellow sticker on them for not being able to ...
A Train for Mall Shoppers
I was pretty sure that shop-till-you-droppers couldn't hurt the environment or themselves as long as the hoofed it everywhere they went. Of course, retailers have to keep the lights on, heat and cool facilities at all ungodly hours so that shoppers could get the 'unique shopping experience.' Until now. Shoppers don't even have to do the walk, get exercise, kick ...
Don’t Drink the Water in the U.K.
I get the message when I visit third-world countries. But the U.K.? The message is "Don't drink the water." Apparently some 170,000 Brits who get their water provided by Anglian Water were warned to boil the water before drinking it. Traces of a stomach bug have been found. The bug has a name - cryptosporidium. With a name like that ...
Finding Three Super-Earths. Is One a Twin?
There's good news and bad news. The bad news is we are doing our darnedest to destroy the planet where we live. The good news is that astronomers think it's just a matter of time before they find the Earth's twin. Astronomers said that last week they found three super-Earths, bigger than our planet, rocky and orbiting a single star. ...
