Independent environmental services professional and college professor Chyrisse P. Tabone, who is based in Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida has spent several years attempting to find a way to remedy this situation. Sciencebase covered her work on teaching environmental science some time ago, now in this post we put a few questions to Professor Tabone about her follow-up paper in which she examines a new approach to teaching environmental issues and the responses of a group of students confronted with those problems. What is the basis of your approach? I have honed and perfected my non-traditional teaching inst...

Does the situation underscore a need for more domestic production? And does this crisis bolster or hamper Obama’s clean energy initiative that he called for in his State of the Union address last week? My response: The unrest in Egypt should have no bearing whatever on American energy policy. Like nearly every other commodity — food, clothing, shelter, education, health care — energy, from whatever source, is far more efficiently and equitably produced and distributed by the market than by government...

But I am truly puzzled, with the rest of America, on why a couple who seemed so together is now splitting after 40 years. I’m not only puzzled, but also disheartened. Because I respect and admire couples who have made it beyond their silver anniversary. Like everyone else confused by the Gores decision, I suppose I attach a layer of immunity to the partners who’ve raised their kids, launching them successfully. Now they are safe to buy that double burial lot because, like or not, they are sticking together. No so, says Betsey Stevenson, an economist at the Universi...

In a bombshell new development in the AL GORE sex scandal — broken EXCLUSIVELY earlier today by The ENQUIRER — the Oregon District Attorney says there’s “the possibility of a criminal prosecution.”  In a statement just released by Multnomah County (OR.) D.A. Michael D. Schrunk, the official reveals that “our office was notified by the Portland Police Bureau that further investigation of this matter had been conducted by it in 2009 and we were provided with the reports from that further investigation.”  Schrunk goes on to add: “If the complainant and the Portland Police Bureau wish to pursue the possibility of a criminal prosecution, a...

Al and Tipper Gore: Quitters! I Salute You. Splitting after 40 years. Why? That’s what everyone wants to know, including Politics Daily Editor in Chief Melinda Henneberger and a few of my Woman Up colleagues. Gotta say: Me too. But I’m just curious. Sort of. Really, isn’t the reason predictable? As a friend observed: If you live long enough and meet enough people, eventually you’ll meet someone you like better than your spouse. (Not to say there’s a third party involved in this split. I’m just quotin’ my old pal.)

Bush on Tuesday, and former Vice President Al Gore on Wednesday, some folks will be precluded from the events. Who? The media. Not only will journalists be barred from the room, but there will be no feed to the press room, either. The stated reason, according to a BIO spokeswoman, is that the trade group is simply adopting this particular policy this year. No further explanation was given, although presumably speakers may feel freer to say certain things when the media isn’t around. Of course, this doesn’t mean some attendees won’t Tweet, unless BIO finds a way to prevent that as well. There is precedent for ...

Is climate change happening? The USGCRP scientists report that climate change is already occurring in a measurable way, and those changes are primarily caused by human activity. They were very clear and direct about that. During the past 50 years, average U.S. temperatures have risen by 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. This change is due to human activity, most notably from the rise in greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. During the 50-year period before that, there was no net change in average temps. This recent increase isn’t due to natural fluctuations — the scientists were able to rule that out as...

From the story:Former vice president Al Gore is entering the stem cell arena with an announcement today of a $20 million biotech venture in the hot area of "induced pluripotent" stem cells. Induced cells are attracting interest from researchers and biotech firms as an alternative to embryonic stem cells. Induced cells are made by inserting four genes into ordinary skin cells, and they offer a new path for "regenerative" medical treatments."I just think it's a very important breakthrough that is filled with promise and hope," says Gore, a partner with the venture-capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, which is backing the research.
