And unfortunately, that's becoming difficult, a sign that the opposition has become increasingl America's Most Endangered Rivers of 2008 Rivers flow over spillways, through blood colored gills, over rocks slathered with life. Their levels reflect changes in climate. They assimilate organic waste and carry eroded soil and plastic bits out to the floating garbage gyres. Rivers offer natural beauty, recreation, and are the lifeblood of many businesses. We wish we could write like Hemingway about them.

According to Lifesitenews.com, Turner made his statements during an interview on the Charlie Rose Program on PBS on April 1. He said The Earth Will Start Cooling in 2008 Global cooling in ‘08. It may sound like a campaign slogan, but it could quite possibly be the truth. According to a leading scientist the earth will begin cooling in 2008. The head of the World Meteorological Organisation said La Nina - the weather phenomenon which is cooling the Pacific - is likely to trigger a small drop in average global temperatures compared with last year. The prediction - which follows a bitterly cold winter in China and the Arctic - is prompting some sceptics to qu Q&A: Greenpeace's Al-Hajj Talks Green Consoles [This Alistair Wallis-penned interview ran late last week on Gamasutra, and is notable because I think it's one of the first times someone has followed up with the organization and quizzed them in more details on their skewering of game hardware companies for not being sufficiently 'green'.] International activist organization Greenpeace recently released an updated version of its report ranking the three current games consoles in terms of their environmental impact.
