		<title>John McCain&#8217;s hot air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He may claim to be green, but McCain&#8217;s environmental record is every bit as dirty as that of Sen. James &#8220;global warming is a hoax&#8221; Inhofe.
Few politicians in history have more successfully sold a phony image about caring for the environment than Sen. John McCain. His deceptions and distortions and lies would fill a book.
Understandably, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Temps Are Down, So What&#8217;s Up with Global Warming?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why one chilly summer does not a global cooling make.
Does it feel like it&#8217;s been a crummy summer to you?
Here on Vancouver Island, the summer of &#8216;08 stayed in the wings through most of June, showed its smile briefly in July, then stepped back behind chilly curtains of cloud and rain again through most of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Soil</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The future rests on the soil beneath our feet.
On a warm September day, farmers from all over the state gather around the enormous machines. Combines, balers, rippers, cultivators, diskers, tractors of every variety—all can be found at the annual Wisconsin Farm Technology Days show. But the stars of the show are the great harvesters, looming [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Giants Behave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Branded! How the &#8216;Certification Revolution&#8217; is Transforming Global Corporations
Wouldn&#8217;t it be, like, awesome if we could shop our way to a better world, where production is green and workers are fairly treated, by just buying stuff from good companies and shunning the bad ones?
This seductive thought was running through my head last month in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why we never need to build another polluting power plant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Coal? Natural gas? Nuke? We can wipe them all off the drawing board by using current energy more efficiently. Are you listening, Washington?
Suppose I paid you for every pound of pollution you generated and punished you for every pound you reduced. You would probably spend most of your time trying to figure out how to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Disaster Capitalism: State of Extortion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Once oil passed $140 a barrel, even the most rabidly right-wing media hosts had to prove their populist cred by devoting a portion of every show to bashing Big Oil. Some have gone so far as to invite me on for a friendly chat about an insidious new phenomenon: &#8220;disaster capitalism.&#8221; It usually goes well&#8211;until [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canada&#8217;s Rich Stomp the Planet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Their eco-footprint is more than double nation&#8217;s poor: study.
The richest 10 per cent of Canadians have nearly two-and-a-half times the environmental impact of the poorest 10 per cent, a new study says.
And, the study argues, climate change policies that ignore this disparity will not only be ineffective, but will make income inequality worse.
The Canadian Centre [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anti-science conservatives must be stopped</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Americans must not allow global warming deniers to block the policies needed to avert catastrophic climate change. Our future is at stake. 
Conservatives put on a spectacular display of scientific ignorance this month in the U.S. Senate. During the debate on the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act, which would regulate carbon dioxide by setting a cap on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who needs tariffs when you have expensive oil?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;
At today&#8217;s oil prices, every 10 percent increase in trip distance translates into a 4.5 percent increase in transport costs. The duration of a typical sea voyage from China to North America is four weeks. Including inland costs, shipping a standard 40-foot container from Shanghai to the U.S. eastern seaboard now costs $8,000. In 2000, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Feed the Americans!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why risk our rivers to satisfy US energy hunger?
A few weeks ago I wrote an article saying, in essence, that proceeding with Site &#8220;C&#8221; to meet our power requirements was better than mucking up hundreds of smaller rivers and streams in the hands of rapacious private power groups. I blew it because I&#8217;d fallen for [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Official Stop C-51 Website - Your Freedom And Health Are At Risk!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bill C51 is being debated in the House of Commons; it’s passed first reading. This Bill blatantly serves only the interest of the Pharmaceutical Companies. Our MP’s have been successfully lobbied by Big Pharma. Their spin doctors are telling us it is all for our protection…it’s good for us. Their clever arguments and justifications are, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drop that salmon!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the days of indiscriminate fish consumption long gone, food writer Taras Grescoe explains how to eat seafood ethically. (Hint: Order mussels; skip shrimp.)
On the subject of seafood, I&#8217;d always been well intentioned but underinformed. It&#8217;s not that I didn&#8217;t care, didn&#8217;t hear the dispatches about avoiding Chilean sea bass or the antibiotics in shrimp, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s dump &#8220;Earth Day&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Affection for our planet is misdirected and unrequited. We need to focus on saving ourselves.
I don&#8217;t worry about the earth. I&#8217;m pretty certain the earth will survive the worst we can do to it. I&#8217;m very certain the earth doesn&#8217;t worry about us. I&#8217;m not alone. People got more riled up when scientists removed Pluto [...]]]></description>

		<title>Make Whoopee, Not Carbon!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earth Hour could have been sold so much better.
Reading about this Saturday&#8217;s international Earth Hour in the Globe and Mail leads me to one conclusion: it&#8217;s time to invest in Saskatchewan prairie, because it&#8217;s bound to be waterfront.
Am I alone in thinking the environmental movement is doomed to fail because it just doesn&#8217;t understand that [...]]]></description>

ICECAP is an acronym for International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project, and [...]]]></description>
