Governments are investing too much in fossil fuel use and not enough in renewable energy.

Obama is going to revive the "domestic terror task force".

I suppose this will be another scheme for investigating dissidents and journalists, as well as once in a while one of the real right-wing extremists. Thugs generally feel sympathy towards right-wing extremists as long as those have not reached the point of actual killing.

Activists in Albuquerque held a sit-in in the mayor's office to protest the many killings committed by thugs.

One thug pushed a protester to the wall and charged the protester with attacking him. Typical thug behavior. What's unusual is that the thug said in advance he would do that. This proves it is an intentional act to lie and frame someone. Will this thug be prosecuted for perjury?

Biodiversity offsetting is the risky practice of compensating for destruction of some wildlife habitat by constructing replacement habitat.

The main flaw is that the habitat we destroy is sure to be destroyed, but it will take years to see whether the replacement habitat really functions. And what do you do if it doesn't?

This system of offsetting provides the opportunity for developers (and their state backers) to propose replacements without even trying to scrutinize the plans carefully. By the time it becomes apparent that the replacement habitat was never really used by the ecosystem it was meant for, nobody will be accountable.

Koalas have adapted to increased temperature in Australia by cooling their bellies against trees.

This will get them only so far; eventually the heat will kill them.
