Spirit Bears Safe in protected forests

10,000 square miles protected.

_____________________________________________________________________________
The Great Bear Rainforest is the jewel in Canada's environmetal crown and home to the rare Spirit Bears, white bears found nowhere else on the planet. Since 2009, over 10,000 square miles have been protected from logging by an agreement between governments, indigenous peoples, logging industry and conservationists. By 2014, with further protection and healthier, more sustainable communities, the future of the forest will be secure.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Thanks to a peaceful campaign.
_____________________________________________________________________________
It took a 15 year campaign by Greenpeace, local activists, indigenous peoples and other environmental groups to bring about the agreement that now protects the forest from logging. Peaceful activists blockaded logging roads and protested against the global companies funding the destruction until their perseverance brought about successful negotiations.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Greenpeace.
_____________________________________________________________________________
For 40 years Greenpeace has campaigned for life, peace and progress, and has won many famous victories. In that time we have never taken a donation from a government or corporation.

The slime of indecision

_____________________________________________________________________________
There is no logical reason why a minnow-size sovereign debt crisis made in Athens should have ballooned into an existential threat not only to Europe’s ill designed experiment with a common currency and to the cohesion of the wider European Union, but also to the prosperity of the world.

For all the billion going-into-trillion estimates of the cost of getting out of this mess, the still wealthy continet’s problem is not in truth a debt crisis. Taken overall, the euro zone’s debt profile is neither disturbingly high nor heavily dependent on outsiders to finance, and its current account is close to balance. This is a currency crisis, and the absence of Euro pean leadership has magnified it into a burgeoning political as well as an economic disaster.

You could even argue that when the storm first broke, the Europeans had a stroke of luck. The euro’s structural faults were bound to be exposed at some point-most prominently, the persistent trade and credit imbalances within the euro zone attributable to the unworkability of a one-sinze-fits-all interest rate for 17 markedly disparate economics, all issuing sovereign bonds but no longer printing their own currencies, with no effective ways to secure fiscal discipline and no lend er of last resort. And the meltdown could easily have started in a country larger and costly to bail out than Greece.

In the summer of 2010, the task for euro zone politicians was relatively simple: admit the evident truth that Greece was bankrupt, organize a rapid and deep restructuring of its unpayable debt, and use the breathing space to recapitalize European banks and build better defenses against contagion before the markets lost confidence in Europe’s more serious players. The downside risks at that early point were minor. In the worst scenario, there would have been turbulence if Greece had done a backward somersault out of the euro zone, but the sky would not have fallen in.

The politicians blew it. On the pretense that Greece was just a bit short of money and could put its house in order with a robust dose of austerity. Europe advanced some cash, sent in the accountants, and crossed its collective fingers.

Why? Principally because German Chancellor Angela Merkel was not prepared-and still is not prepared to admit to irate German voters that the “no bailouts” guarantee that had persuaded them to give up the Deutsche mark for the euro was not worth the paper it was written on. Secondly, because euro membership was legally irrevocable and even to hint that it might not be so was unconscionable heresy. And finally, because Germany and France were anxious to “protect” their banks, which were loaded with Greece’s worthless bonds.

That was then, 19 months ago at the time of writing. This is now. Ireland and Portugal have joined Greece in the emergency ward, and others, such as Cyprus, belong there, too; Italy and Spain can finance their debt only at prohibitive and unsustainable cost: markets are demanding stiffer premiums on Belgian. French, and even Austrian and Dutch bonds, and by December some investors had begun to steer clear even of the doughty German Bund.

Europe’s banks are choked with dicey government debt that they were encouraged to buy on the basis that the euro was forever and those bonds were therefore zero risk, all equally safe. Under political pressure to roll over their virtually untradable Greek bonds at 50 percent of face value, or 25 percent if the Greeks had their way in the negotiations, their understandable reaction was to shed Italian holdings as fast as they could-by nearly half in the case of BNP Paribas, and 88 percent at Deutsche Bank thus exacerbating fears that the euro was not-just in crisis but close to meltdown. In response, U.S. money markets sopped lending dollars to European banks, forcing the Federal Reserve and other central banks from Japan to the U.K. to intervene to avert a commercial banking collapse. That decisive concerted action to treat the symptoms, while essential to protect the global banking system, merely confirmed the life threatening seriousness of the euro disease and the growing doubt that the euro zone’s politicians, and its institutions, are capable of the decisions required to calm the markets.

The political mantra all along has been that the euro must at all costs be glued together. But no one can locate the glue pot.

Text V to answer question 27.
_____________________________________________________________________________

Catch me if you can

_____________________________________________________________________________
For years, it was simple: men over 50 would have regular blood tests to screen for prostate cancer. But last October, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force scrapped the recommendation after concluding that the screenings did not, after all, save lives.

The change was just the latest in a series of cancer-prevention reversals. We have seen enthusiasm wane for routine mammography while experts still can’t quite agree on how best to screen smokers for lung cancer. Why has all of this become so confusing?

We have been spoiled. The first screening test, the Pap smear, remains by far the best: it is cheap, relatively painless, and provides actionable information. By contrast, the blood-test screening for prostate cancer was a mess because it cannot distinguish between lethal and harmless cancers. Yet once a man was tagged “positive”, he was treated-even if the cancer posed no real health risk. As a result, countless men received the pain, cost, and angst of screening but none of its benefit. The same confusion has muddied the recommendations for breast and lung cancer screenings.

We seem very good at inventing the new hot test but less accomplished in determining its limitations. As a result, we have allowed preliminary evidence and good old American optimism to carry us to a place far beyond medical responsibility.

Perhaps what is lacking is a respect for the pace required for true innovation. No one was knocking on Dr. Papanicolaou’s door in the 1930s, telling him to decide already. He took his time – and gave us a test for the ages.

(By Kent Sepkowitz, published in Newsweek, February 2012)

Let’s heat our cities with cleaner energy

_____________________________________________________________________________
How can we help keep people warm while reducing emissions? Natural gas could be one of the answers. When used to create electricity, it is the cleanest-burning of all the fossil fuels. What’s more there is plenty of it, there could be enough to last for the next 250 years. Shell is helping to deliver this gas to more countries than any other energy company.
