Norway Makes a Historic Decision.....

Norway Makes a Historic Decision to Divest of Fossil Fuel Investments.

There is little I can add, except to say that this is a monumental decision for the good of life on Earth, and also that 350.org plus the Guardian, are doing a magnificent job to make the World aware of the climate disasters posed by continued burning of fossil fuels.

Oceans and Climate Change

The New York Times has just published a fascinating article about a 4 year study of ocean pelagic small organisms, from viruses and bacteria, to crustaceans, jelly fish, and salps. Be sure to watch the slide show, it is truly AMAZING!!!
  
Scientists Sample the Ocean and Find Tiny Additions to the Tree of Life
“A lot of what we didn’t really ever see before in the ocean are predators and parasites, zombies and vampires that are floating through this incredible set of diversity, battling it out,” Dr. Palumbi said. “All these tiny little critters add up to something that is really a part of the way our planet operates.”

The Guardian, Keep it in the Ground, an appeal to Bill Gates

On this LINK, you will find a wonderful video from the people of the World, seeking help with minimizing the threats of climate change. The video speaks directly to Bill Gates, a person who has huge resources and a good heart, so hopefully he will respond by helping keep carbon fuels in the ground..... at least via one route of divesting investments in fossil fuel companies.

This Week at Interior... saving sagebrush lands out west

I really liked this week's short video. The Department of the Interior and Secretary Jewell seem to be doing a lot of good in many unpublicized ways.......like saving habitat for Sage Grouse, and protecting the rights of native Americans in our western states, including their rights to oil and gas reserves being extracted from their lands.
