The Observer: Storm brews over the content of ethical funds

There are plenty of climate change and eco options, but few are really green, writes Huma Qureshi

Sunday February 17 2008

Ethical and climate change funds that claim to be socially responsible are failing to invest in companies which support the environment, a new study claims.

The report by independent financial adviser Holden & Partners reveals most ethical funds are ‘surprisingly mainstream’ in their overall portfolios, with very little investment in committed environmental companies. read more

The Sunday Times: ‘Earth No 2’ lies in deep freeze waiting to be born

TITAN, the deep-frozen moon of Saturn, is emerging as the most likely place in the solar system for new life to evolve, according to scientists who have been studying its atmosphere and surface chemistry.

They found that Titan’s atmosphere is drenched in a wide range of complex organic molecules very similar to those that gave rise to life on Earth billions of years ago.

Although it is far too cold for life at present, this is likely to change because stars such as the sun expand and grow far hotter as they reach old age. read more

Polar Bears Lose in Big Oil Auction

By Rodger Schlickeisen

While polar bear mothers and cubs were nestled in their dens, the Bush/Cheney Administration auctioned off key habitat for these struggling animals to Big Oil -despite the opposition of tens of thousands of activists like you.

Polar bears need all the help they can get. Please donate to support our Campaign to Save Polar Bears.

As a warming climate takes its toll on polar bear habitat, federal officials are selling off the very places these great white bears depend on for hunting, denning and survival. read more

ClimateProgress.org: The Subsidy Tease

February 15th, 2008

This post is by ClimateProgress guest blogger Bill Becker, executive director of the Presidential Climate Action Project.

When it comes to relationships, Congress is a big tease. Or so it must seem to the energy efficiency and renewable energy industries. Just when they think they’re about to go to the altar with the federal government, Congress becomes the runaway bride.

Everyone who’s anyone acknowledges that energy efficiency and renewable energy are indispensable to America’s future. They promise greater energy independence, clean air, steady prices, infinite supplies, a lower trade deficit, and a way to begin minimizing the suffering that will result from global climate change. read more

DeseretNews.com: Troop surge in Iraq is working despite jeering from Democrats

NEW YORK — Though largely dismissed by the Democratic left, America’s “surge” policy is paying attractive dividends. Al-Qaida in Iraq is in retreat, violence is down and political reconciliation is up.

In a 16-page letter that U.S. soldiers found last October near Baghdad, AQI leader Abu Tariq complained that his 600-man force had dwindled to 20 terrorists.

“We were mistreated, cheated and betrayed by some of our brothers,” he moaned, as Sunnis swapped AQI for the U.S. This shift “created panic, fear and the unwillingness to fight,” another AQI chief whined in his own missive discovered in November near Samarra. His network, he said, suffered “total collapse.” read more

(The following comments in the name of Dr John Huong were published prior to the defamation proceedings brought against him collectively by EIGHT companies in the Royal Dutch Shell Group. The comments were published in June 2004 soon after news broke of the Shell reserves fraud. Shell is currently seeking his imprisonment in Malaysia for alleged contempt of court. It is interesting to note the recommendation for the unification into a single company over a year before the merger into Royal Dutch Shell Plc) read more

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: Exxon Has Off Year Discovering New Oil

By JEFFREY BALL and RUSSELL GOLD
February 16, 2008; Page A2

Exxon Mobil Corp.’s success in finding new oil and natural gas is slipping.

The world’s biggest publicly traded oil company by market capitalization said Friday that it replaced just 76% of the oil and gas it produced last year, using a reserves-accounting method favored by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Using a different accounting method that Exxon says is more representative of its business, the company said it replaced 101% of its production last year. read more
