 [The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] DrumBeat: July 6, 2008: PARIS (AFP) - European Union energy ministers said at an informal meeting Saturday they had been labouring for 18 months under the false impression that an EU plan to fight global warming included an obligation to develop controversial biofuels.

 [Notes from the Climate Justice Front line] Campus Spotlight: Tennessee State University Students and Alumni ...: The campus and community feelings toward the movement as a whole is improving which is good, but there definitely has to be more groups such as Gateway 2 Heritage who not only help to educate but through action demonstrate how to go about making an effective difference. Our community, which is primarily black, has in the past not been receptive to the green movement which can be traced to our people not knowing of its importance in our daily lives, not being able to have access to “green” opportunities (ex: recycling centers or jobs), and not having environmental groups coming to our side of town with the intentions to bring about this knowledge and change.

 [The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] Mate Competition and Curiousity - The True Origins of Oil Addiction: Utilizing a large database from over two decades of research, Cloninger has integrated objective psychological testing of individuals with the growing knowledge of the brains anatomy and chemical messenger systems. His research confirms that patterns of temperament are heritable, but further suggests that different personality patterns reflect variation in the genetic programming of neurochemical communication.

[Disease Proof] Eco-News: Tuesday: A patch of Canada thistles, if it is to survive when the farmer switches from hoeing to herbicides, must include individuals that develop a resistance to the chemicals over time. Weed populations that lacked the necessary genetic diversity faded from our fields, lawns and waste places;

[Religious Action Center :: racblog] Climate Change Beyond Diplomacy: Thinking Outside the Box: The civil rights movement gained momentum not via legislation but rather by a populist participation throughout the South and across the country. Faith communities, those involved in labor and community leadership, as well as artists and activists of all stripes and visions can now help lead to the kind of political change and bold action necessary to preserve and protect life and all creation on this sacred home of ours.

[AC - Public Governance RSS News Feed] Battle For The 'Burbs - How Republicans Can Compete For The Upper ...: One approach, advanced in these pages by Jim Manzi and elsewhere by reformist liberals Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus, is to eschew punitive approaches like carbon taxes or a cap-and-trade system -- which would be a messier and more complex form of carbon taxes -- and instead embrace large investments in alternative technologies.

 [Arpit Davé] Indians For Obama: For the better part of half a century, Indians living in the United States have achieved personal success regardless of political climate, opting to focus on their families and businesses and merely adapting as necessary as political philosophies on Capitol Hill came and went. It was only the wealthiest of Indians that dabbled in the political process, realizing as many Americans before them had, that political influence was yet another avenue toward personal prosperity.

[Tom Hull] Peak Everything: However, factoring in dramatic increases in usage (to substitute for declining oil and gas supplies), while also taking account of the Hubbert peak phenomenon -- extraction rates will inevitably begin to decline long before the coal actually runs out -- and the fact that coal resources are of varying quality and accessibility leads to the surprising conclusion that a global peak in coal production could arrive as soon as a decade from now.

 [Pocochina's Weblog] so what happens now?: But demographically, it’s utterly silly to say you don’t want the votes of (read:  will not represent the interests of) the working class during a freaking recession.  Perhaps it’s an appeal to wishful thinking - vote for Obama, and it’s almost like you’re affluent, even though his policies are written and approved by people who have never done a damned thing to help you before, and he’s “a free-market guy” who doesn’t bother to point out that the American market is anything but free.  It’s another dangerous game, though, with McManlyMaverickiness just joshin’

 [SWJ Blog] 11 June SWJ News, Op-Ed, Blog, and Events Roundup: In a flurry of oversight that some critics say comes years too late, Congress is pressing Bush administration officials on a still-unanswered question: How did the United States come to embrace harsh interrogation methods it had always shunned? The interrogation techniques themselves have been repeatedly discussed, and administration officials have been forced to explain why waterboarding, a simulated drowning technique of torturers dating back to the Spanish Inquisition, was not torture when used by the

 [Stumper] The Filter: June 23, 2008: In the two weeks since Barack Obama became the presumptive Democratic nominee, John McCain has demonstrated a knack for driving the daily political debate, forcing his opponent to respond to a challenge to meet in town hall debates, accusing him of being 'delusional' about terrorism and saying he flip-flopped on public financing for his campaign. But even as McCain's strategists claim tactical victories, Republicans outside the campaign worry that underlying weaknesses in its organization and message are costing him valuable time to make the case for his own candidacy.
