Destroying Precious Land to Drill for Gas - NYTimes.com: "Gas produced this way is not climate- friendly. Within the first 20 years, methane escaping from within and around the wells, pipelines and compressor stations is 105 times more powerful a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. With more than a tiny amount of methane leakage, this gas is as bad as coal is for the climate; and since over half the wells leak eventually, it is not a small amount. Even more important, shale gas contains one of the earth’s largest carbon reserves, many times more than our atmosphere can absorb"

Carbon Neutral Program | World Resources Projects: "
South Korea: Carbon Neutral Program
Carbon Neutral Program, which has been going on in the countries like the US and the UK, will begin in Korea in order to cope with the climate change. The concept of ‘carbon neutral’ was introduced by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy (MOCIE) in Feb. 2008. ‘Carbon Neutral’ is a campaign that makes the emissions to zero through the reduction of carbon dioxide by calculating emissions in everyday life, buying an authorized credit, investing in new and renewable energy and planting trees. State- run organizations will have emissions targets starting this year."

US oil report seen supporting Ir... JPost - Iranian Threat - News
US oil report seen supporting Ir... JPost - Iranian Threat - News: "The sanctions aim to choke funding to Tehran's nuclear program by stopping oil transactions with Iran's Central Bank. The West contends Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon, while Tehran says the program is strictly for civilian purposes.
The EIA may have given a preview of Friday's report earlier this month in a weekly paper that said new global outages have emerged even though some outages in the first two months of the year have eased.
An outage in Iraq caused by a dispute between the Kurdish regional government and Baghdad has pushed production down about 100,000 bpd, and the worsening situation in Sudan has cut output deeper there in the past two months."

Paul Krugman Thinks Obama’s Still Screwing Up | TPMDC
Paul Krugman Thinks Obama’s Still Screwing Up | TPMDC: " Romney can go around saying, ‘The economy is still lousy,’ which is true,” Krugman said. “And the fact that Obama has never made a really clear case for his own economic leadership hurts. Now, I still think Obama will probably win, because there are other issues, but they have created a trap for themselves on the economic policy front by allowing themselves to own a weak economy in a way that they shouldn’t, because a lot of the problem has been tortured opposition from the Republicans.”
The White House’s narrative developed amid strong political headwinds. Pressure not only from Republicans but many Democrats and even administration officials, along with a broad establishment consensus, compelled Obama to pivot to deficit-reduction, after the Democrats’ 2010 congressional losses and in the face of an exploding national debt."

Common Ground: Dialogue between the NTD and WASH sectors, for World Water Day and beyond » End the Neglect
Common Ground: Dialogue between the NTD and WASH sectors, for World Water Day and beyond » End the Neglect: "rom the point of view of an advocate for the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) sector.
This opportunity is the result of a new partnership between Emory University’s Center for Global Safe Water, Children Without Worms (CWW) and the International Trachoma Initiative (ITI). These three organizations have committed to a partnership that will encourage actionable dialogue and increased coordination between the NTD and WASH sectors. In my role as WASH/NTD consultant, my objective is to find ways to bridge the gap between these two sectors and identify opportunities for collaboration.
The London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases in January provided an important catalyst for dialogue. The Declaration solidified a global public-private partnership to eliminate or control 10 neglected tropical diseases by 2020. By calling for the development of sustainable control programs for these diseases, the NTD sector has effectively pledged commitment to work towards elimination or control of 10 NTDS."
