  • “The Well from Hell” Update, still leaking and unmeasured

    They’re going ahead with it, though, and the government is letting them, which makes no rational sense. A friend thinks that the Administration made a deal with BP that if they put up the $20 billion, the government wouldn’t force them to measure the flow from the well. I had at first dismissed [...]
  • Ocean Losing Its Green

    The oceans are the lifeblood of our planet and plankton its red blood cells. Those vital “red blood cells” have declined more than 40 percent since 1950 and the rate of decline is increasing due to climate change, scientists reported this week. “Phytoplankton are a critical part of our planetary life support system. They produce half [...]
  • Energy and Capital: Shale Gas Explosion

    To say that shale gas will play a major role in meeting our world’s energy demand is an understatement. Take a minute and think how far shale gas has grown in the last five years… It wasn’t until the success of the Barnett shale that U.S. drillers took notice. Although drilling the Barnett formation picked up [...]

    With a present conventional gasoline demand of over 2.1 million barrels per day against ethanol production of 0.8 million barrels per day, it is puzzling that an ethanol pipeline is being discussed.

  • First results from Transition Together evaluation

    "Transition Together", the street-by-street behaviour change programme developed by Transition Town Totnes and now being piloted in 10 other communities, has just completed analysing the data that has come back from the first 4 groups, comprising 32 households in Totnes. They have completed all 7 of the sessions set out in the workbook, and the data offers a fascinating first look at whether the process works or not. The results from the other 31 groups currently underway are expected this Autumn. Here, Fiona Ward of Transition Together shares the results that have emerged.

  • Nature stunner: Global warming blamed for 40% decline in the ocean's phytoplankton

    Scientists may have found the most devastating impact yet of human-caused global warming — a 40% decline in phytoplankton since 1950 linked to the rise in ocean sea surface temperatures. If confirmed, it may represent the single most important finding of the year in climate science.

  • ODAC Newsletter - July 30

    Another week on and there has been no further leak from the BP Macondo well. Officials are now "optimistic" about preparations for a new attempt at a, with the initial step of pumping mud into the top of the well likely to begin as soon as Sunday. With the leak apparently under control, BP chose this week to announce the inevitable departure of its CEO Tony Hayward, whose replacement by the American Bob Dudley was vital for the company’s damage limitation efforts in the US...
