  • Unbalanced reporting about the climate and Rupert Murdoch

    Ralph Maughan

    There has been a lot of discussion about Murdoch’s sudden legal and political troubles. Given that he is one of the most dangerous people on the planet, it is hard to have sympathy. Today “This week in Science,” in Daily Kos is about the matter (but similar data can be found in many places).

  • Green Mountain grazing decision doesn’t satisfy ranchers, critics

    Brian Ertz

    Conservationists have been putting in a lot of hours for a lot of years on the Green Mountain Common Allotment – and rightfully so;  At 522,000 acres it’s the largest unfenced public land grazing allotment in the country, and it’s a landscape that’s been brutalized by livestock for far too long. Green Mountain grazing decision doesn’t…

  • Interior Appropriations bill at odds with American values

    Ralph Maughan

    Bill to stop listing of new endangered species, mine the Grand Canyon, and let diseased sheep kill off our bighorns is Un-American- IMO, House Republicans are not patriots, nor do they care about wildlife or the future of our environment (except maybe that of the top 2%). Ralph Maughan The Arizona Republic opines on the…

  • Study: Forests absorb much more greenhouse gas than previously known

    Ralph Maughan

    Another surprise. The real carbon absorbers are the temperate and boreal forests.

    Brian Ertz

    Slight indication of a changing tide in Idaho A couple of days ago I was pleasantly surprised when my neighbor approached me asking whether I’d be willing to sign a ballot initiative.  “What’s is about ?” I asked.  “Did you know that Idaho is one of only three states without a felony charge for animal…

  • Are Wolves the Real Killers?

    Brian Ertz

    “A fearful few wage war on American’s wolves. The war comes because agribusiness exaggerates and lies about wolf predation.” Are Wolves the Real Killers ? – Huffington Post – Wendy Keefover-Ring The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the agribusiness industry can be counted among the fearful few, killing wolves with alarming readiness. USDA…

  • Earth Firsters occupy Montana governor’s office (with update July 13)

    Brian Ertz

    At least they got a reception.  Sounds like fun. Earth Firsters, megaload protesters occupy governor’s office – Missoulian Schweitzer told the group he would not cede to their demands before they started playing the piano and dancing on the big table in the governor’s reception room in apparent frustration with the direction of the meeting.…

‎”At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour.”

Edward Abbey

“The continued existence of wildlife and wilderness is important to the quality of life of humans.”

Jim Fowler

“Our forests offer much more than just beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Each one has a different story to tell.”
